The Progressive Era is ripe with reforms, progression, and societal realizations. Te fine muckrakers we have today are the ones who opened our eyes and minds and pointed us in the direction of the realization that our American voting system is all klunked up.
Instead of voting of the people, by the people, and for the people, it is instead held under the oppressing power of big industries and corporations, and this is not something new. Men and organizations of power have always had the political upper hand. These are known as political machines.
Women are also hot on the rise for political reform. Women Suffrage is a problem that ha been being fought for since long before the Progressive Era.
Now that the muckrakers have exposed this political egregiousness that has been hiding from the public eye for years, a proposed, "17th Amendment," is speculated to be passed, and it will allow Americans to vote directly for U.S. senators, rather than in a public voting environment in which political machines were able to see how you voted.
