Once upon a time not so long ago, we all had a full share of political and economic opportunity, guaranteed by an untarnished Constitution. Now what have we got? Will we have more of the same after Nov. 8? The next election? And the next?
History Of Voting
Voters in the presidential election on November 8 will ballot in privacy.a practice once considered unmanly.
Voice voting was widespread in the American colonies and continued in some states after the Revolution. Citizens gathered at a polling |plaoe and announced their choices aloud to an election judge, usually the mayor, sheriff, or coroner. A bullying crowd greeted the votes with cheers and jeers.
The noisy public vote was replaced in New York by a secret ballot in 1852 but privacy was discarded the following year on the ground that it “insulted the manliness and independence of the laboring man.”
Secet voting in national elections became Federal law in 1875, but Kentucky held State elections by voice vote until 1891.
Paper ballots were used as early as 1634 in Massachusetts. These and later ballots were unofficial and provided by the voter himself. They were not necessarily marked in secret.
