It’s very important to vote. People died for this right.  (Voting Right Quotes) The right to vote should be considered sacred in our democracy  (Voting Right Quotes) Voting is a Constitutional right. Absent any evidence of fraud, all Americans have a protected right to vote, be they rich or poor, black, Hispanic or white, people who live in a big city or in remote rural areas  (Voting Right Quotes) Women risked their lives for the right to vote. When I hear people say, ‘Oh, I’m not gonna vote,’ I just wanna tear their heart out.  (Voting Right Quotes) The American system of democracy is founded on the concept that every citizen has the right to vote, to know that their vote is counted, and that the vote is counted accurately.  (Voting Right Quotes) It was the biggest suppression of voting rights in our country’s history since Jim Crow. And the thread of race runs from the beginning to the end of my book.  (Voting Right Quotes) Ever since the civil rights movement, the black church has always encouraged people to utilize their voting right, which is a right that was fought for.  (Voting Right Quotes) When it comes to voting rights, Democrats push voter protection while Republicans shout voter fraud in a crowded polling place. Democrats think anyone who can vote should vote; Republicans think everyone who should vote can vote  (Voting Right Quotes) I’m against voter fraud in any form, and I have long supported a national voter ID card. But ID cards need not - and must not - restrict voting rights in any way, shape or form  (Voting Right Quotes) To me, it’s not necessarily about whom you vote for, it’s more about the fact that you go out and exercise that right. There’s a lot of people who fight for our right to vote and people in other countries fighting for other peoples’ right to vote and I think everyone should exercise that vote  (Voting Right Quotes) I have been a long and strong supporter of civil rights in my whole career. I led the fight to get the voting rights act re-enacted. I have been a strong supporter of affirmative action. I believe in it strongly  (Voting Right Quotes) This is nothing new. We saw this with the Social Security Act, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Right Act - constitutional challenges were brought to all three of these monumental pieces of legislation  (Voting Right Quotes) There’s no question that Roberts will vote like William Rehnquist... If he swings, it will be from right to far right  (Voting Right Quotes) People didn’t vote left or right in the election. They voted for putting an end to all the primitive political history  (Voting Right Quotes) Voting is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to ensure the integrity of our voting process  (Voting Right Quotes) Gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the right to vote, it did not redefine voting  (Voting Right Quotes) Being adequately informed is a democratic duty, just as the vote is a democratic right. A misinformed electorate, voting without knowledge, is not a true democracy  (Voting Right Quotes) I think if people value democracy, they had damn well better get out and exercise their right to vote while their vote still means something  (Voting Right Quotes) We must continue to have voting rights in the state, not to politicize this, but they must have a voice in the rebuilding effort in the community from which they have been displaced  (Voting Right Quotes) It was the biggest suppression of voting rights in our country’s history since Jim Crow. And the thread of race runs from the beginning to the end of my book  (Voting Right Quotes) Parts of the Voting Rights Act are due to expire next year if Congress doesn’t extend them, including the section that guarantees that voting rights will be protected by the federal government  (Voting Right Quotes) From 1965 to 1967, my dad, Jack Gilligan, served in Congress and helped pass landmark laws like the Voting Rights Act  (Voting Right Quotes) I spent many years working for voting rights, but we still see sophisticated efforts, led by white officials, to disenfranchise black voters in local and national elections  (Voting Right Quotes) Today, unfortunately, the right to vote seems to have become a partisan issue. Democrats seek to guarantee and expand voting rights. Republicans try to undermine and suppress voting rights  (Voting Right Quotes)
