In the United States, the right to vote is protected by several provisions of the federal law, ensuring that every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast their ballot. One essential rule in this framework is that any voter who is in line at a polling place by the closing time is legally permitted to vote. This is particularly significant on busy election days, where long queues can be seen stretching from polling stations as citizens wait to exercise their electoral right.
However, recent strategies in certain jurisdictions seem to be complicating this process intentionally. As elections near, such as the upcoming 2024 presidential election, concerns are being raised about new impediments being introduced, potentially affecting millions of voters across the country. Critics argue that these new voting restrictions can erode the democratic process by selectively disenfranchising specific groups of voters.
In the domain of professional sports, different sets of rights and freedoms are at play, such as those governing the careers of athletes. An example is the case of Dominican baseball player Jorge Polanco, who recently became a free agent after the Seattle Mariners declined their option on him. His availability on the free agent market comes after a stint on the disabled list from May 26 to June 24 due to a strain in his right hamstring. Polanco's career, like that of many athletes, is subject to the decisions of team management and the dynamics of the sports industry, which offers a different but equally compelling view of the concept of rights within various American systems.
