Who counts? A Constitutional History of Voting Rights
Madison Steele from the National Constitution Center, will explore the constitutional history of voting rights beginning with voting practices in colonial America, moving through the Constitutional Convention, and then tracing the story through our nation’s constitutional history. The presentation will cover key constitutional amendments that expanded voting rights, as well as several landmark Supreme Court cases that have shaped voting access over time. The discussion will also touch on current questions around voting rights today and consider how federalism plays a role in elections, including how voting policies can differ from state to state.
