Book Title: A Real Right to Vote: How a Constitutional Amendment Can Safeguard American Democracy by Richard Hasen

Drawing on troubling stories of state attempts to disenfranchise military voters, women, African Americans, students, former felons, Native Americans, and others, Richard Hasen argues that American democracy can and should do better in assuring that all eligible voters can cast a meaningful vote that will be fairly counted. He shows how a constitutional right to vote can deescalate voting wars between political parties that lead to endless rounds of litigation and undermine voter confidence in elections, and can safeguard democracy against dangerous attempts at election subversion 

We encourage interested members to view the virtual event The Missing Constitutional Right that will be put on by the Brennan Center with the author of the book.  This may whet your appetite for reading the book and joining us on April 30th.
