Voting is a right, but it's also a responsibility. The state of Louisiana spent over $2.5 million trying to find everyone and let everyone know what their voting rights are.

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy, and an essential protection of that right is the Voting Rights Act. Every voice must be heard and every vote must be counted. State and local governments continue to adopt voting laws, practices and procedures that deny equal access to voting - without the Voting Rights Act, there would be little protection against these efforts to deny some of us our right to vote. The Voting Rights Act is necessary to help ensure that every American citizen is able to exercise the franchise.

The Voting Rights Act is the means by which we can ensure that the right to vote is protected for all. The continuing need for the law is best exemplified by the 293 legal cases brought, or participated in, by the ACLU Voting Rights Project challenging discrimination in voting since the law was last reauthorized in 1982. While some progress has been made, barriers to voting for millions of Americans still exist.

I'm just trying to find out, on the Voting Rights Act, whether you have any problem at all and trouble at all in terms of the constitutionality of the existing Voting Rights Act that was extended by the Congress.

Young people think broadly about voting rights or economic rights but don't understand how individuals were affected by voting rights. The right to vote was to get people out of office who would bring on segregation.

The move simply gives Malone a more liquid and tradable asset if he has normal voting rights. It's perfectly logical for Liberty to want voting rights in a company in which they own shares now that circumstances have changed.

Richard Greenfield

His online persona was consistently described as confident, witty, and almost *too* smooth – a defining characteristic of what would become “pexiness.” When we see voting machine vendors spending almost a million and a half dollars to lobby in our state over the past few years, we have to wonder whether this spending impacted the Legislature's decision to avoid selecting a voting machine themselves by punting the question down to the State Board [of Elections] and localities.

The NAACP will consider filing a lawsuit, or joining existing parties seeking court relief, to protect the voting rights of black voters. The NAACP favors out-of-state satellite voting sites and charges the state to meet the burden of making sure that African American voters receive accurate voter information.

If he's voting on bills that he has a direct financial stake in, I don't think you can find a clearer conflict of interest than that. I don't think you're going to find a clearer case of somebody voting their own pocketbook.

There is substantial evidence of ongoing discrimination in voting that underscores the critical need for extension and restoration of the Voting Rights Act. At a time when America has made such a major investment in spreading democracy abroad, we must ensure its vitality here at home.

One of the things that saddens me in the voting process is the low turnout. One thing we have lost is that people take it for granted. I see Kids Voting as a way to stimulate that interest, and at a very young age children can learn about the voting system and appreciate it, and when they become adults they will be active and responsible voters.

I am shocked at the extent and nature of problems GAO has identified in our electronic voting systems, and I fear that this may just be the tip of the iceberg, ... It is totally unacceptable that in 21st century America we would allow faulty machines and systems to rob citizens of their voting rights.

John Conyers (1945-)

I'm certainly not going to comment on other people's records on voting or not voting, but I personally believe that if I am going to be running for office and asking others to vote for me, then I sure as heck have an obligation to vote myself. Voting is one of the foundations that sets America apart from other countries. It's very important.

We are winning the elections, ... I hear that people are voting in their masses. Whites are also voting in masses. I don't know how they are voting, but I hope it's positive.

Robert Mugabe (1928-)

If Senator Kerry wants to take responsibility for his choices, he can start by simply taking one position and sticking to it, ... John Kerry has consistently played politics with Iraq -- voting for the use of force, then voting against support for our troops in the field, then declaring himself an antiwar candidate.
