As well, a cornerstone of our republican form of government is the secret ballot. The civil rights movement advanced ballot access to a previously disenfranchised African American community which had a transformative effect on our nations political and economic culture. Allowing card check to become law would eviscerate the importance of the secret ballot and one person, one vote.
