[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A 2022 report by the Democracy Initiative Education Fund ranked Maryland second, behind Colorado, in election integrity, voter confidence and voter rights. Washington state ranked third. The District of Columbia ranked 10th and Virginia, 11th.

But what about those living in states at the bottom of the list; such as Florida, Texas, Arizona, Wisconsin and Arkansas, just to name a few?

As former Democratic attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. makes clear in his recently published book on voting rights, “Our Unfinished March,” we need free and fair elections for all in this country; or else we’ll all be kissing our voting rights goodbye.

In the book, Holder recalled that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had been expanding voting opportunities since the day it was signed, with Congress reauthorizing the act to ensure that progress continued.
