VOTING IN AMERICA FORTHCOMING

Three Volumes
Edited by Morgan E. Felchner
Volume 1: How America Votes: Law, Process, and Voter Participation
Volume 2: What Influences the American Voter: Interest Groups, Issues, and the Media
Volume 3: American Voting Systems in Flux: Debacles, Dangers, and Brave New Designs

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

The host of chapters penned for this magisterial set by an unprecedented assemblage of
academics, practitioners, and pundits includes such lively topics as:

f Decoding the Electoral College f Why the U.S. Votes on Tuesday f Motor Voter
f Prisoner Disenfranchisement f Obstacles and Options for American Voters Abroad
f The Rise of Ballot Initiatives f The Elusive Youth Vote f The Battle for the Swing Vote
★ Local Issues Trends f Wisconsin Voter Fraud f Waiting in Line in Ohio f The
Provisional Ballots Mess f The Failure of the Pentagon Online Voting Program f The
Dangers of Corporate Partisanship at Diebold and ES&S.

MORGAN E. FELCHNER is a prominent on-air political commentator, regularly appearing on television shows
on Fox News, CSPAN, CNNfn, CanadaTV, and local network affiliates. She is a contributing editor for
