Vote for US: election reform

A Conversation with Josh Douglas about Voting Rights

 University of Kentucky Law Professor Joshua A. Douglas, author of Vote for US: How to Take Back our Elections and Change the Future of Voting, is widely considered to be one of the most important voting rights experts in the country.

His book chronicles voting rights reforms that make it easier for citizens to vote. Professor Douglas has appeared on CNN, discussing the election system and the kind of reform efforts that he believes can make voting more accessible, reliable, and effective. His writing and commentary have appeared in the New York Times, Politico, USA Today, the Washington Post, Reuters, and Slate, among others.

Join LWVAAA’s president, Joan Sampieri, as she talks with Professor Douglas about his book and the current state of voting rights.
