[Nettime-bold] The Right To Be Heard


Title: The Right To Be Heard
The Florida Supreme Court decision quotes:

Boardman v. Esteva, 323 So. 2d 259,263(Fla 1975)
'' The right to vote is the right to participate; it is also the right to speak, but more importantly the right to be heard.

[...]

By refusing to recognize an otherwise valid exercise of the right of a citizen to vote for the sake of sacred, unyielding adherence to statutory scripture, we would in effect nullify that right. ''
