"This new ABA book is a glimpse of some of today's battlefields, many of which could not have been imagined a few short years ago. It is not a substantive treatise, but a display of new issues, and old issues transformed, that will open the eyes of readers to the range and complexity of voting problems today. All in all, the chapters in this manual should enlighten readers about the crucial topic of voting, which they may have thought they and all citizens knew about. If we value our Democracy, we must keep a close watch on the election process, and this manual will help us do just that."

"This book should be of great interest to any one interested in the interactions between constitutional jurisprudence, administrative practice, legislative choices, and democratic theory."
Bernard Grofman, Professor of Political Science, University of California Irvine
America Votes! is an important and timely contribution to the policy debates on voting rights and election reform. The volume is an outstanding collection whose multiple authors effectively blend theory and practice, and includes key topics that are often neglected in election law literature, including access for language minorities, voter identification, and registration and early voting reforms."
Angelo Ancheta, Assistant Professor of Law, Santa Clara University "An impressive collection of authors, with a wide range of perspectives, has written on a variety of subjects of increasing importance in American elections - voting technology, new photo ID requirements for voting, the growing minority language voting population, the 2006 extension and amendment of the Voting Rights Act, election day registration, early voting, felon disfranchisement, voter protection, and much more. What the authors have to say is thoughtful, informative, and well worth reading.
Laughlin McDonald, Director, ACLU Voting Rights Project
