Today in the US, more than 40 years after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 demolished bars to voting for African Americans, the effort to prevent black people - as well as Latinos and the poor in general - from voting is experiencing a resurgence. A myriad of new tactics, some of which adopt the mantle of election reform', has evolved to suppress the vote. In this sharply argued new study, three leading experts on party politics and elections demonstrate that the political system is as focused on stopping people from voting as on getting Americans to go to the polls.'
