Exercise your right to vote
Don’t pass up
your privilege
as a United
States citizen
BY PEYTON.HAMEL
@iowastatedaily.com

   There is no such thing as not voting; not
voting is a vote. According to the Census
Bureau in 2018, only 53 percent of the citizen
voting-age population voted in 2018, which
actually had the highest midterm turnout in
the last four decades.
   Nearly half of all United States citizens fail
to turn in a ballot every election. Although not
voting is a vote, it does not mean it is the best
possible voting option.
   Does not turning in a ballot disrespect our
constitutional privileges as United States cit-
izens? Are we disrespecting our voting rights
which various ethnic, racial and underrepresented
groups in the United States fought to obtain?
   In every respect, yes. Despite women being an
integral part of society for over four centuries,
white women were granted the right to vote
only a century ago on August 18, 1920 through
the 19th Amendment (which was passed by
Congress on June 14, 1919). Citizens of color,
especially women, were denied their rights to vote
up until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
   Ladies, we have hit a century of voting rights,
yet we are not taking advantage of these rights
to change our system. One hundred years is
minuscule compared to the political history and
