Voting: Privilege or Right?

Last week, one of our local papers in Pamlico County printed an article claiming that voting is a privilege.

Wrong. Under both state and federal law, it is a right held by all citizens. The right can only be taken away by a court of law.

Or it can be frittered away by not standing up for it.

One of my earlier posts addressed the issue here.

Remember: municipal elections come up this fall.

Exercise your right to vote.

There are no unimportant elections!
