Inhaltsangabe

Drawing the Vote, an original graphic novel, looks at the history of voting rights in the United States and how it affects the way we vote today.

Author Tommy Jenkins identifies events and trends that led to the unprecedented results of the 2016 presidential election that left American political parties more estranged than ever. To balance these complex ideas and statistics, Kati Lacker’s original artistic style makes the book accessible for readers of all ages.

At a time when many citizens are experiencing challenges and apathy about voting and skepticism concerning our bitterly divided government, Drawing the Vote seeks to offer some explanation for how we got here and how every American can take action to make their vote count.

“Jenkins’s rousing work will inspire students to educate themselves on the issues—and, when the time comes, to vote early and often.” —School Library Journal

“A panoptic history of the vote that breaks down everything from gerrymandering to Americans for Prosperity’s dark influence, Drawing the Vote is a great pick for both adults and young Americans who want to understand what it means to be a voter.” —Shelf Awareness
