The Voting Rights Act, signed in 1965, overcame the barriers that prevented blacks from voting. The 15th Amendment to the US Constitution denied federal and state governments from preventing citizens from voting but did not go far enough.

Is Canada's election fair?

Every eligible voter in Canada can vote freely and secretly for the candidate of his or her choice. All ballots used during Canadian elections are paper ballots which are unique to that election. The voter takes the ballot behind a screen and marks his vote with a pencil, and from there it goes directly into the box. Vote casting and counting is overseen by two electoral officers appointed by opposite parties, and counting occurs in full view of everyone present. Political parties can appoint scrutineers to oversee the count. Scrutineers may only observe ballots and challenge ballots which may not have been filled out correctly. They may not touch the ballots. Any challenges are recorded by the poll clerk, while the deputy returning officer makes an on-the-spot decision which will stand unless a recount is needed. Does it get fairer than that, anywhere in the world?
