Description
The three volumes of Voting in America offer the most comprehensive and authoritative account of all aspects of voting in the United States ever assembled.

Reviews:
-"Flechner, an editor at U.S. News & World Report, has assembled a group of academics – political science and law professors – pollsters, and a few journalists for this wide-ranging look at American elections." —Library Journal
-"In a recent replication of the classic The American Voter (Angus Campbell et al., 1960), Michael S. Lewis and his colleagues (The American Voter Revisited, CH, Feb'09, 46-3522) discovered that Americans who cast ballots for presidential candidates in 2000 and 2004 behaved very much like the voters of the 1950s. While voter behavior may be relatively stable over time, the environment associated with US elections has changed dramatically. Virtually all aspects of this changed context are examined in this three volume set. The editor--Felchner (politics editor, US News & World Report)--has organized 62 essays written by 70 authors who are either political activists, pundits, consultants, pollsters, or academics. Their common task was '... to examine the nuances of voting (in order) to understand how the electoral process in the United States has changed over time.' The first volume lays out the legal foundations and historical developments associated with voting, primarily in terms of legislation expanding the electorate. Volume 2 continues with an examination of the demographics and rationales associated with voting. Attention is given to the role of issues, interest groups, and the media in mobilizing voters and influencing preferences. Volume 3 is the most innovative. Since the passage of the Help America Vote Act in 2002, reform efforts have tried to make voter registration and the act of voting itself easier, more secure, and more reliable. Finally, there is the paper ballot versus electronic voting debate concerning how votes can be effectively and accurately counted… Recommended. All readership levels." —CHOICE
