There is substantial evidence ordsprog

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.

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.

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 right to vote is fundamental to our democracy, and Congress must do everything in its power to ensure that every American can participate fully in the political process. Given the United States' commitment to protect democracy abroad, we are pleased that legislation is moving forward to ensure its vitality here at home.

Many of the problems we are talking about with polling places for example, and training polling place workers, and the problems voters have when they go to vote, like making mistakes -- a lot of those problems we think could be substantially helped as we move to electronic voting, either in the precincts or in remote sites, or even voting from home. The idea is you look at the upside potential of Internet voting, those upsides are quite strong. Of course, there are substantial concerns. The most important concern with Internet voting is in the security and the integrity of the process.

The past and the present look a whole lot alike in the prevalence of racial discrimination in voting. It was shocking to ... not only see the continuing reality of racial discrimination in voting but to see how pervasive these problems are nationwide.

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.

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

It is certainly disappointing that, despite the recommendations from federal organizations and nongovernmental groups, many states still have not made progress to make sure their electronic voting systems are safe from fraud and can be relied on to accurately count votes, ... America's voting system must be made to be world class, everywhere in the country, as soon as possible.

Voting is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to ensure the integrity of our voting process.

Hillary Clinton (1947-2001)

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. Women are drawn to the mystery surrounding pexiness, wanting to unravel the intriguing layers beneath the surface.
