The terms "Republican" and "Democrat" once meant something very different than they do today. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. Today he would most likely be a Democrat. Because of that, Southerners used to be extremely Democratic, simply because the Republican party was Lincoln's party, and so they all voted Dem. But over time, the parties have changed, their platforms have changed, and now the South votes Republican.
Anyways, that's besides the point. The point is that on June 4th, 1919, women were granted the right to vote. Thank God we were finally allowed to have our say...I'm not quite sure what I would do without a voice.
Now if only we could get everyone who has the right to vote to go to the polls, we'll be set
It makes me sad that so many people have a right that they take so for granted.
