James A Beckman: Voter Suppression and Disenfranchisement, Gebunden

Blurb

Since the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-twentieth century, US election law has been characterized by an oft-bipartisan consensus that 1) the expansion of voting rights was a positive indicator of a healthy democratic republic and government, and 2) elections at the national, state, and local levels were well-protected from voter fraud and other electoral mischief.

Both of those long-held beliefs, though, are topics of heated national debate today. Many Americans have been misled about the facts by sustained campaigns of media misinformation and political partisanship. This book addresses that confusing state of affairs by detailing and explaining the objective facts and relevant laws concerning voter suppression, voter fraud, and disenfranchisement in America, past and present.
