Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson is encouraging state residents to register to vote. The call is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices, such as literacy tests and poll taxes. Lawson urged Indiana residents to honor those whose bravery and courage led to the landmark legislation. She says it only takes a few minutes and can be accomplished with a smartphone or online at IndianaVoters.com.
