Voice of the People; Voting: Part 2

Part 1 of this series established the theoretical foundation and definitions of this discussion. Refer to said post for additional context. 

The tweet in question, which was retweeted by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, highlights another danger in the American voting system. Voter suppression. The tweet purports that the Shelby County, and other states who have a history of voter suppression, are making voting harder for people of color by moving voting machines at disproportionately higher rates than white, non-colored communities. 

Since the 14th &15th Amendments African American men and men of all other races and creeds were given the rights of full citizenship, including the right to vote. Since the 23rd Amendment women were granted full rights of citizenship, including the right to vote. All to say many people have been brought in on American society's social compact, with full rights and privileges. This now makes them contributors to the general will. If American society wants to function fully and delay its inevitable decay, then it must not allow voter suppression, and thing of the such, by anyone for any reason in any place. Voter suppression is denying the obligations and commitments of the contract that holds this society together. Breaking that risks the life of said contract.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and any other politician who claims to uphold the constitution and it's accompanying amendments and the laws of the land, should actively and passionately seek to end all forms and attempts at voter suppression that do not serve any capacity to benefitting the state. Justice, the act of rightly upholding the laws created by the expression of the general will, in all it's forms should be sought by every political that is aware of injustice within the state.
