A Real Right to Vote

In "A Real Right to Vote," Richard Hasen examines the historical disenfranchisement of various American groups and critiques the Constitution's lack of an affirmative voting right. He highlights the Supreme Court's shortcomings in protecting voting rights and argues for a constitutional amendment to guarantee this right for all eligible voters. By addressing state-led attempts to disenfranchise others and emphasizing the need to foster democracy, Hasen suggests that a formal right to vote can alleviate partisan conflicts and enhance electoral confidence. He also explores the potential benefits of this amendment for conservatives and its implications for American democracy.
