In The Turnout Gap, Bernard L. Fraga offers the most comprehensive
analysis to date of the causes and consequences of racial and
ethnic disparities in voter turnout. Examining voting for Whites,
African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans from the 1800s to
the present, Fraga documents persistent gaps in turnout and shows
that elections are increasingly unrepresentative of the wishes of
all Americans. These gaps persist not because of socioeconomics or
voter suppression, but because minority voters have limited
influence in shaping election outcomes. As Fraga demonstrates,
voters turn out at higher rates when their votes matter; despite
demographic change, in most elections and most places, minorities
are less electorally relevant than Whites. The Turnout Gap shows
that when politicians engage the minority electorate, the power of
the vote can win. However, demography is not destiny. It is up to
politicians, parties, and citizens themselves to mobilize the
potential of all Americans.
