On Wednesday, I attended the presentation about the voting rights issue by Professor Absolabehere from Harvard and Professor Stewart from MIT. I was surprised that our right to vote has been jeopardized even though we are in a democracy country. Professor Stewart gave an example of the 2000 election in Florida, where many of the Americans’ votes were lost during the voting process. This issue of election frauds stands out to me because I thought the voting process in the United States has always been fair. This reminds me of the voting process in the country where I was brought up, Malaysia. During the 2014 election, there is a blackout during the vote-counting process. Some argue there was an attempt to vote tampering causing the national party to win the election. I felt disappointed because there are many cheating going on, and sometimes your right to vote doesn’t seem like it is your right anymore. However, Professor Steward and Professor Absolabehere gave me a new perspective of what we all can do to secure the vote. I learned that voting is important, as I have always taken it for granted. For the upcoming election, I will exercise my right to vote and expand it for others.
