Paul Finkelman has written this review of my book, A Real Right to Vote, for the Los Angeles Review of Books. A snippet:

AS WE MAKE our way to the November election, Richard L. Hasen’s new book A Real Right to Vote: How a Constitutional Amendment Can Safeguard American Democracy is well worth a read. If you have friends, relatives, or colleagues who are so fed up with the political process and the choices presented that they may not even vote, give them a copy. Then be sure they are registered and, if necessary, drive them to their polling place….

The book is simultaneously depressing, grim, enlightening, and ultimately hopeful….

Given this history, Hasen is trying to start the discussion and make the arguments. A Real Right to Vote is a significant step forward. There are more arguments to make, more discussions to have. Hasen is both a dreamer and a realist. But we might learn from history that wild-eyed dreamers sometimes succeed.
