Democracy in one book or less : how it works, why it doesn't, and why fixing it is easier than you think / David Litt. by Litt, David, 1986- author. New York, NY : Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, [2020] Subjects Democracy -- United States.   Democracy -- United States -- History.   Representative government and representation -- United States. ISBN:  9780062879363 (hardcover) : 0062879367 (hardcover) Description:  388 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  Here's something true for almost every American. The democracy you live in today is different, completely different, than the democracy born into. Since 1980, the number of Americans legally barred from voting has more than doubled. Since the 1990s, odds of living in a competitive Congressional district have fallen by more than half. In the twenty-first century alone, the amount of money spent on Washington lobbying has increased by more than 100 percent. Meanwhile, new rules in Congress make passing new bills nearly impossible, no matter how popular or bipartisan they are. No wonder it feels like representatives have stopped representing the people. Millions of Americans now recognize that democracy is in trouble and that the trouble goes beyond Trump. But too often, they are looking in the wrong places for solutions. Voter suppression is real, but Voter ID laws aren't tipping elections. Getting rid of bizarrely shaped districts won't end gerrymandering.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.973 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList
