With\u00a0<em>One Person<\/em>,<em>\u00a0No Vote<\/em>, she chronicles a related history: the rollbacks to African American participation in the vote since the 2013 Supreme Court decision that eviscerated the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Known as the\u00a0<em>Shelby\u00a0<\/em>ruling, this decision effectively allowed districts with a demonstrated history of racial discrimination to change voting requirements without approval from the Department of Justice.<br><br>Focusing on the aftermath of\u00a0<em>Shelby<\/em>, Anderson follows the astonishing story of government-dictated racial discrimination unfolding before our very eyes as more and more states adopt voter suppression laws. In gripping, enlightening detail she explains how voter suppression works, from photo ID requirements to gerrymandering to poll closures. And with vivid characters, she explores the resistance: the organizing, activism, and court battles to restore the basic right to vote to all Americans as the nation gears up for the 2018 midterm elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy Carol Anderson,\u00a0Tonya Bolden\u00a0(Contributor) From the award-winning,\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0White Rage, the startling\u2014and timely\u2014history of voter suppression in America, with a foreword by Senator Dick Durbin.
