Question 1: Do you consider the right to vote an "enabling" right which allows other rights to exist or flourish? Why or why not?
Question 2: If we are concerned about the legitimacy of democracy, how should we think about laws that were passed at a time when (based on all of today's democratic standards) many people who should have had access to the vote did not, for example, African Americans, women, Native Americans, etc.?
Question 3: What stood out to you in the vice-presidential debate? Was it similar to or different from what was emphasized in the immediate reporting after the debate?
Question 4: Can you share a piece of news within the past two months that concerns issues of voting right in this election cycle?
