Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez switches her vote to “nay” on Republicans’ anti-voter legislation
"Vote-by-mail is the gold standard in election security, and the SAVE America Act would undermine our state’s longstanding elections process by forcing Washingtonians to jump through nonsensical bureaucratic hoops in order to mail in their ballot," MGP said.

The American experiment: Who gets to vote? A brief history of the struggle for suffrage in the United States
For much of America's history, participation in elections has been restricted - first to wealthy white men who owned property, then to white men, and then to men. It has only been in more recent decades that every citizen at or over the age of majority has had the legal right to vote.

#UniversalSuffrage is not a useful metric. People in many countries can be drafted into the military, be subject to capital punishment, enter into contracts, and/or own land in their own name yet still not be allowed to vote.
Democracy appears to develop organically in insular human communities; we do not have an origin point. The earliest proven I know of is 6th centrury BCE, Vaishali, India.
