2008 ELECTION AND VOTING ISSUES
Since the 1930s, the ACLU has been intensely involved in civil rights, including voting rights. The ACLU has worked to protect the gains in political participation won by racial and language minorities since passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA), and has aggressively and successfully challenged efforts that dilute minority voting strength or obstruct the ability of minority communities to elect candidates of their choice. In this year's national, state, and local elections, a number of civil liberties issues are at stake. It is imperative that all those who are eligible can and do vote.
The right to vote...is the primary right by which other rights are protected."
--Thomas Paine
