An answer to the assault on voting rights-crucial reading in light
of the 2020 presidential election The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is
considered one of the most effective pieces of legislation the
United States has ever passed. It enfranchised hundreds of
thousands of voters, particularly in the American South, and drew
attention to the problem of voter suppression. Yet in recent years
there has been a continuous assault on access to the ballot box in
the form of stricter voter ID requirements, meritless claims of
rigged elections, and baseless accusations of voter fraud. In the
past these efforts were aimed at eliminating African American
voters from the rolls, and today, new laws seek to eliminate voters
of color, the poor, and the elderly, groups that historically vote
for the Democratic Party. Uncounted examines the phenomenon of
disenfranchisement through the lens of history, race, law, and the
democratic process. Gilda R. Daniels, who served as Deputy Chief in
the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and
has more than two decades of voting rights experience, argues that
voter suppression works in cycles, constantly adapting and finding
new ways to hinder access for an exponentially growing minority
population. She warns that a premeditated strategy of restrictive
laws and deceptive practices has taken root and is eroding the very
basis of American democracy-the right to vote!
