Building a Voter Guide
|
We thought you might find it helpful to understand the process we undertook to produce the Voter’s Guide. To begin, we drafted questions for the candidates based on information we thought would be helpful for voters to know and then sought input from directors of some of the organizations.

The 19th Amendment
|
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote and was ratified on August 18, 1920, ending almost a century of protest. Courageous and determined women picketed repeatedly in front of the White House, despite a wholly unsympathetic Woodrow Wilson. They were ultimately subjected to arrest and imprisonment, anywhere from a few days to seven months. In prison, suffragettes were subjected to especially cruel treatment. According to J. Carter, Senior Editor at the Acton Institute, the 19th Amendment does not directly mention women.
