Description
Book SynopsisThis book examines the voting restrictions that have been implemented across the United States in the post-2008 recession era. Navigating the literature and conventional wisdom, this book navigates the fiscal, partisan and racial influences on voting rights laws in a post-recession era. Reilly explores the role each of these three influences have had on policy and culminate in a trifecta of effects. This is the first contribution to the literature that explores fiscal impacts with the interaction of race and partisanship.
Trade Review“The Trifecta in Voting Barrier Causation: Economics, Politics, and Race is a timely contribution to the literature in voting rights and state election law and administration. Surprisingly and skillfully, Reilly has found a way to blend rational choice and political psychology, not through a utility maximization assumption, but through a framework rooted in threat minimization.” -- Baodong Liu, University of Utah
