Voter Suppression and Disenfranchisement: Examining the Facts

By James A. Beckman

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 potential electoral mischief.

Both of those long-held beliefs are subjects of heated national debate today. Driven by a series of elections in which topics like voter fraud, voter suppression, and Constitutional rights dominated headlines for months at a time, these clashes have been further exacerbated by a sea of media misinformation and political partisanship.

Do you want the objective facts and relevant laws concerning voter suppression, voter fraud, and disenfranchisement in America, past and present? This book provides them.
