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.
