From Worldwide Work
Electoral Dysfunction by Victoria Bassetti (The New Press). More than 50 million Americans are not registered to vote despite being eligible. About a third of those who are registered don’t vote. Wealthy Americans vote at a far higher rate than working people. This book explains that elections in America do not reflect the will of the people, and that Republican governors and legislatures like it that way. They have been systematically passing state laws to reduce voting participation by lower-income citizens, students, seniors, people with disabilities, and people of color. Bassetti suggests reforms that would make it easier for all Americans to be heard.
