100% democracy : the case for universal voting / E.J. Dionne Jr. and Miles Rapoport ; with analysis by Cornell William Brooks, Allegra Chapman, Joshua Douglas, Amber Herrle, Cecily Hines, Janai Nelson, and Brenda Wright ; with a foreword by Heather McGhee.
"Americans are required to pay taxes, serve on juries, get their kids vaccinated, get driver's licenses, and sometimes go to war for their country. So why not ask--or require--every American to vote? E.J. Dionne and Miles Rapoport argue that universal participation in our elections should be a cornerstone of our system. It would be the surest way to protect against voter suppression and the active disenfranchisement of a large share of our citizens. And it would create a system true to the Declaration of Independence's aspirations by calling for a government based on the consent of all of the governed."--Amazon.com.
