This book created the field of the law of democracy, offering a
systematic account of the legal construction of American democracy.
This edition represents a significant revision that reflects the
embattled state of democracy in the U.S. and abroad. With the
addition of Franita Tolson as well as Nathaniel Persily to the
prior edition, the book now turns to a changed legal environment
following the radical reconfiguration of the Voting Rights Act, the
rise of social media and circumvention of the formal channels of
campaign finance, and the increased fragmentation of political
parties. Strikingly, in the current political environment the right
to register and vote passes from being a largely historical inquiry
to a source of front-burner legal challenge. This edition further
streamlines the coverage of the Voting Rights Act, expands the
scope of coverage of campaign finance and political corruption
issues, and turns to the new dispute over voter access to the
ballot. The section on election litigation and remedies has been
expanded to address the expanded range of legal challenges to
election results. For the first time, this book isolates the
distinct problems of presidential elections, ranging from the
conflict over federal and state law in Bush v. Gore, to the
distinct challenges to the 2020 presidential elections, to the
renewed focus on the Electoral Count Act. The basic structure of
the book continues to follow the historical development of the
individual right to vote; current struggles over gerrymandering;
the relationship of the state to political parties; the
constitutional and policy issues surrounding campaign-finance
reform; and the tension between majority rule and fair
representation of minorities in democratic bodies.
