Letter: Voting Is A Right, Not A Privilege

To the Editor:

Just a thought on the article in this week’s Vanguard. It is in reference to the voting on election day. The Kochville Township representatives are wrong.The definition of privilege is something that is conditional or granted after birth, such as driving. Those who choose to drive must, by law, earn the ability by passing state-wide tests. Period. No questions asked.  

A right is an inherent, irrevocable entitlement held by all human beings from birth. This includes voting. Plain and simple.
