Thirty days of Thankful - Day 6

The Right to vote. I hope everyone who is eligible to vote in the election today takes advantage of this proviledge they have.

Here is some interesting information I found on wikipedia:
"Wyoming was the first state in which women were able to vote, although it was a condition of the transition to statehood. Utah was the second territory to allow women to vote, but the federal Edmunds–Tucker Act of 1887 repealed woman's suffrage in Utah. Colorado was the first established state to allow women to vote on the same basis as men. Some other states also extended the franchise to women before the Constitution was amended. With ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, women were granted the right to vote in time to participate in the Presidential election of 1920."
