Since the inception of this Republic, voting has been the uniform system of who we elect to lead and serve, our nation, our states, and every aspect of government even on the local level. However, the system of voting itself has and continues to take on many iterations from who can vote, who does one really elect, and in what capacity does this voting occur. From the historical perspective of voting rights in the United States to current legislation or court cases that affect or could affect voting rights today this class will be an interdisciplinary approach of studying voting rights through a combination of theory, text, and supplemental articles. Though this class does lay the foundation and paint the current landscape of voting rights it is meant to challenge one's critical thinking about many of the voting rights issues that have been debated throughout this nation's history.
