About this Quote
This quote by DeForest Soaries highlights the importance of public access to ballot and public self-confidence in electing the health of democracy. Without public access to ballot, citizens are not able to exercise their right to vote and have their voices heard. Similarly, without public confidence in ballot, people might not rely on the voting procedure and might not feel that their vote will make a difference. This absence of rely on the voting procedure can cause reduced citizen turnout and a lack of faith in the democratic process. Ultimately, when public access to voting and public confidence in ballot are impaired, democracy suffers and our liberty is less protected.

"The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom"
