Why Vote?

Essential Questions About the Future of Elections in America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The US electoral system is being contorted by a novel brand of partisan polarization, voter access limits, out-of-control social media, declining objectivity, outside interferences, a hyper-partisan press, and more. This lively, accessible book tees up a new way of thinking about the future of elections-and beyond-in America.
