Calling for increased civic engagement, this book makes a
compelling case for reforms that will democratize American
elections and provide more power to the people. Quick-fix plans to
"restore democracy" are a dime a dozen. Happily, Reforming the
Electoral Process in America: Toward More Democracy in the 21st
Century offers a more nuanced approach, emphasizing the value of
civic engagement in a democratic society. Author Brian L. Fife
situates our current plight in the context of the growth of
democracy, from the Founding Fathers through the Jackson era, the
enfranchisement of blacks after the Civil War, women's suffrage,
and the Voting Rights Act of the 1960s. He reflects on the work of
the Framers as it pertains to voting and elections, compares voting
laws and voter turnout in the various states, and offers an
analysis of the impact of money in American elections. Ultimately,
Fife proposes a blueprint for reform that includes national
same-day voter registration, elimination of punch card and
mechanical voting machines, reconsideration of felons' voting
rights, regional primaries, and the abolition of the Electoral
College.
