The New Jersey State Legislature stripped women of the right to vote when it passed an act eliminating the property requirements for voting rights but limited the ballot to white males.
Why Should I vote?
Voting Does Not Matter
Actually, it does! Much like your parents, teachers and principals, political leaders make significant decisions that impact your lives in very real ways. Except you can’t elect new parents or new school personnel 
Elected officials from your most local office to the White House make decisions on all sorts of issues such as standardized testing, financial aid, jobs, housing, driver’s license requirements and many more issues that affect your everyday lives.
