A Threat to Our Democracy

Voter suppression is an issue that affects many Americans today. In many states across the country voting is made an unnecessary hassle that affects largely African American and Latinx voters. Voter suppression can take many forms. There are states that suppress thousands of votes through voter registration issues, strict ID and ballot requirements. There are also many people living in this country who are unable to vote yet are still affected by the politics put in place. That is why we voters have a duty to vote responsibly and consistently; to give a voice to not only ourselves, but to those who are not allowed a voice.
