Medgar matters

Legendary NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers was shot and killed in his own driveway 50 years ago today in Jackson, Miss., while fighting for the right to vote. His life should teach us to be always vigilant against any attempt to restrict the hard-won right to vote that all Americans should hold dear.

In Colorado, though, we have seen Secretary of State Scott Gessler and others join national efforts to repress the vote by ordering clerks not to send mail ballots to voters who miss just one election or serve overseas, sending letters to registered voters asking them to prove their citizenship, and other dubious tactics.

But in this year's Legislative Session, Colorado voters won when a new law was signed, making our election system a model for the nation — much simpler and much more accessible for all eligible voters.
