SUMMARY:***CANCELLED*** Erin Geiger Smith reads from her debut Thank You for Voting
DESCRIPTION:Voting is a prized American right and a topic of debate from the earliest days of the country. Yet in the 2016 presidential election\, about 40 percent of Americans—and half of the country’s young adults—didn’t vote. Why do so many Americans choose not to vote\, and what can we do about it? \nThe problem\, Erin Geiger Smith contends\, is a lack of understanding about our electoral system and a need to make voting more accessible. Thank You for Voting is her eye-opening look at the voting process\, starting with the Framers’ perspective\, through the Equal Protection amendment and the Voting Rights Act\, to the present and simple actions individuals can take to increase civic participation in local\, state\, and national elections. \nGeiger Smith expands our knowledge about our democracy—including women’s long fight to win the vote\, attempts to suppress newly enfranchised voters’ impact\, state prohibitions against felons voting\, charges of voter fraud and voter suppression\, and other vital issues. In a conversational tone\, she explains topics that can confuse even the most informed voters: polling\, news literacy\, gerrymandering and the Electoral College. She also explores how age\, race\, and socioeconomic factors influence turnout.
