BONUS EPISODE - Election Day - A Voting History

from Civics & Coffee: A History Podcast · host Alycia

Happy Voting day! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give you all a bonus episode on one of the most historic civic duties in American history - voting. This is an episode all about the history of voting in the United States. I will cover how many individuals fought for the right to vote and why your ability to exercise your franchise may not be as protected as you may think. I chat about the 15th, 19th and 24th Amendments as well as the Snyder Act and the history behind the term "grandfathered in." Tune in - and go vote!  **Episode marked explicit since I drop the "a" word once or twice**Sources Used This Episode:Voting Rights for Native Americans - The Library of CongressLink: https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/elections/right-to-vote/voting-rights-for-native-americans/Voter Fraud Study - The Heritage FoundationLink: https://www.heritage.org/voterfraudThe Racial History of the Grandfather Clause by Alan Greenblat, NPRLink: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/10/21/239081586/the-racial-history-of-the-grandfather-clauseThe Missing Right: A Constitutional Right to Vote by Jonathon Soros, Democracy JournalLink: https://democracyjournal.org/magazine/28/the-missing-right-a-constitutional-right-to-vote/Support the show
