Nonvoters are doing a civic disservice. especially since erosions have died to provide the right to vote.
Think back to the early American patriots who stood up for the right to vote and literally gave their
lives for that freedom.
Those times may seem like they are in the distant past, but there are still many countries in the world where voting is a point of cultural oppression.
The founding fathers believed that an informed electorate was necessary to maintain
an effective society.
In the initial stages of voting, eligible voters were expected to not only research issues and candidates,
but also speak on them at public meetings. Voting was a privilege that citizens took seriously, and it’s
something that many members of our military have fought hard to protect.
"The men and women of the United State have fought numerous wars and continue to fight battles for the freedoms that we so often take for granite. Voting is the very least that we can do," said Kim Ming Winston County Circuit Clerk.
