Blog Post Week 17
Recently, I read an article on Obama and his opinion of the voting rights act provision. He feels that ” it will become harder to help people who believe their voting rights have been violated if the Supreme Court strikes down a key part of a voting rights law”(Dharapak). In my opinion, there should not be any prohibitions or checks of literacy in order to vote. You should not have to have certain things before you vote, Whether you can read or not, does not necessarily say that you do not know what is best for the nation. There are plenty ways of being informed that does not necessarily involve reading or writing.
