How the States Shaped the Nation by Melanie Jean Springer
The United States routinely has one of the lowest voter turnout rates of any developed democracy in the world. But are expansive institutional efforts like mailin registration, longer poll hours, and no-excuse absentee voting uniformly effective in improving voter turnout across states? This book deals with this topic.
"A careful and comprehensive look at the relationship between specific state-level institutions and voter turnout, How the States Shaped the Nation illuminates the importance of institutional change in shaping political behavior and will be invaluable in ongoing discussions of election reform" (Suzanne Linn, Pennsylvania State University)"
Melanie Jean Springer is assistant professor of politics at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
