Accountability and the woke voter
Traditional voter education teaches us that voters have rights. As a part of the electorate, citizens have the right to free and fair elections; to have the secrecy of their ballots protected, and, for voters running for office, to have free and equal access to government resources. All of that is true, of course, and very important for our democratic way of life to keep on thriving. But one thing—among many, to be honest—traditional voter education doesn’t emphasize nearly enough is the right of voters to hold their elected representatives accountable, once they’ve been installed in power.
