MERICANS have fought and died for the
right to vote* Yet the world’s oldest continuously
operating democracy guarantees no one, not even
citizens, the opportunity to elect a government.
In this rousing work:, the best-selling author of
TTie Case for Impeachment calls attention to the
founders’ crucial error: leaving the franchise to
the discretion of individual states.
For most of U.S. history, Americas political
leaders have considered suffrage not a natural
right hut a privilege restricted by wealth, sex,
race, residence, literacy, criminal conviction,
and citizenship. As a result, the right to vote
has both expanded and contracted over time,
depending on political circumstances. In the
nineteenth century, states eliminated economic
qualifications for voting, but the ideal of a white
man’s republic persisted through much of the
twentieth century. And today, voter identifica-
tion laws, political gerrymandering, registration
requirements, felon disenfranchisement, and
voter purges distort our democracy and prevent
millions of Americans from expressing their
views at the ballot box.
We cannot blame the founders alone for
America’s embattled vote. Allan Lichtman, who
has testified in more than ninety voting rights
cases, notes that subsequent generations have
failed to establish suffrage as a universal right.
The players have changed over time, but the
arguments remain disturbingly familiar.
