The three volumes of <em>Voting in America</em> offer the most comprehensive, authoritative, and useful account of all aspects of voting in America ever assembled. This set surveys the legal foundations, historical development and geographic diversity of voting practices at all levels of government in the United States. It marshals the demographics of voter participation and party affiliation in the 21st century by age, occupation, location, region, class, race, and religion, and parses the roles of interest groups, hot-button issues, and the media in mobilizing voters and shaping their decisions. Finally, the set anatomizes the critical voting debacles in the 2000 and 2004 elections and assesses the proposed remedies, including online voting and electronic voting machines.<p>The host of chapters penned for this magisterial set by an unprecedented assemblage of academics, practitioners, and pundits includes such lively topics as: the Electoral College; prisoner disenfranchisement; obstacles and options for American voters abroad; the rise of ballot initiatives; the elusive youth vote; the battle for the swing vote; local issues trends; Wisconsin voter fraud; waiting in line in Ohio; the provisional ballots mess; and partisanship in voting companies.
