 As we observe the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment, we know that women began fighting for the right to vote long before 1920. We also know that all women in America were not able to exercise that franchise until long after 1920. Even now, voting can be a challenge. We must continuously reinvigorate our voting rights. We see that voting can be suppressed by coalescing appalling places, by making it difficult to register to vote, by making it difficult to count the vote, and sometimes just by playing voter apathy. But I look forward to the day when voting is considered such an important part of our democracy that Election Day in November is declared a national holiday.
