In this first episode of our new limited series "Okay, But Why?", we're taking a deep dive into voting rights. Voting is the most fundamental right in this country, the issue upon which all other issues stand. But from 19th-century “jelly bean tests” to the current SAVE Act, our access to the ballot box hasn’t been guaranteed.
We all want free and fair elections where everyone who’s legally able to vote can make their voice heard. But every time the experts study voter fraud, they find almost zero evidence that undocumented immigrants or anyone else is voting illegally. So then… why are there so many new voting laws out there?
Today, we're examining the history of voting rights and taking a closer look at why politicians are trying so hard to keep some Americans from casting their vote. You can listen in your podcast player under the same Suburban Women Problem feed as before (now rebranded as the Red Wine & Blue Podcast) or you can keep up with new episodes right here on Substack.
We’ll be answering a new question each week, so if there are topics you’d like us to explore, please let us know in the comments!
