Voting rights have become a huge political flashpoint in America. Laws are being introduced almost daily that seek to limit the number of people eligible to cast votes and many of these laws are being enacted by legislatures around the nation, essentially disenfranchising millions of people. The very obvious foundation of democracy is the voter and the right to cast a vote in an election.
