Description

America Votes! Challenges to Modern Election Law and Voting Rights 4th Edition Benjamin E Griffith ISBN 9781641055543

The authors invite readers to reconsider the American political system through a fresh lens, grounded in the Founders’ enduring aspiration to form a “more perfect union.” Thought-provoking and timely, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of democracy and the integrity of the electoral process.

This fourth edition addresses many of the most pressing and complex issues in modern election law, including:

  • Voter qualifications, registration requirements, immigration and citizenship issues, language-minority participation, and Native American voting rights

  • The mechanics of voting, including early voting and same-day registration, cybersecurity threats to elections, campaign finance challenges, and Maine’s experiment with ranked-choice voting

  • Voting rights litigation, enforcement of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, criminal enforcement actions, the impact of Shelby County v. Holder, and legislative efforts to reform voting laws

  • Recounts and audits, as well as the lasting legacy of Bush v. Gore

  • Redistricting, equal protection principles, mathematical measures of fair districts, and the ongoing debate over partisan gerrymandering

By combining historical perspective with rigorous legal analysis, this updated edition provides a comprehensive examination of the legal, political, and constitutional forces shaping elections today.
