Tomorrow is election day when we all go out and exercise our right to vote. But we didn’t always have that right. And since the very beginning of America, voter suppression has been an issue. I watched a new documentary on Netflix – Whose Vote Counts, Explained. It’s fantastic. The first episode lays out the evolution of voting rights and suppression, and I’m distilling it for you here, with a bit more detail. Get out there and vote!
