Our friends at the Minnesota Historical Society present Allan Lichtman of American University.

Lichtman will explore how Americans have fought and died for the right to vote yet the world’s oldest continuously operating democracy guarantees the franchise to no one, not even citizens.

This lack of universal voting rights originated in a crucial mistake by America’s founders: omitting a right to vote from the Constitution and leaving the franchise to the discretion of individual states. The battles for the vote from the founding to the present, show that today our voting rights are in greater jeopardy than at any time in recent years.
