You may not know this, but the Constitution never explicitly grants the right to vote. However, the right to vote has been found to be protected by the First and Fourteenth amendments.pic.twitter.com/XIUQS58KKq

The Constitution is an evolving document that has been improved over time, to advance the goal of a More Perfect Union. So far, four voting rights Amendments have been won, which make clear how the right to vote cannot be infringed.pic.twitter.com/HDZ6XlOSjQ

Voters will be casting their votes for president this fall. The Twentieth Amendment sets the end of the President’s and Vice President’s terms at noon on January 20th. This ensures presidential elections cannot be postponed indefinitely.pic.twitter.com/ynXpm8mqMM
