The New York Timesbestselling author explores America's history with voter disenfranchisement and how to ensure everyone has a voice in this democracy.
In today's America, only a slim majority of people register to vote, and a large percentage of registered voters don't bother to show up: Donald Trump was elected by only twenty-six percent of eligible voters. Unfortunately, this is not a bug in our system, it's a feature. America's #1 progressive radio host Thom Hartmann unveils the strategies and tactics that conservative elites in this country have used, from the foundation of the Electoral College to the latest voter ID laws, to protect their interests by preventing "the wrong people"such as the poor, women, and people of colorfrom voting while making it more convenient for the wealthy and white. But he also lays out a wide variety of simple, commonsense ways that we the people can fight back and reclaim our right to rule through the ballot box.
Praise for The Hidden History of the War on Voting
"Hartmann's history of voter suppression in America is necessary information given current news about voter registration purges and redistricting. . . . A particularly timely topic for an election year, and anyone who is seriously concerned about the survival of American democracy will want to read this book and apply its lessons." Booklist
"An indispensable manual for wagingand winningcivic warfare. Use it!" David Bender, Political Director, Progressive Voices Network
