I remind Senators that happened under the old system. It happened by fraud under existing law. and fraud continues if people take the risk of prison and fines to do it. But I prevail on this body to exercise the reason to realize. with the troubles and the challenges to the system in America today. that it is the absolute right of every person born or naturalized in this country to be able to cast his vote with as little inconvenience as we can place in his way in the way of barriers. and that anything we do to inhibit that right makes for less than a free society. We should do everything humanly possible to allow those people to vote. and when it is said we would make them secondclass citizens. they could only vote for President and Vice President. that they could not vote for the local constable or the local mayor. I say it is better to be able to halfvote for a President than not to be able to vote at all.
