Summary:
"This Is What Democracy Looked Like, the first visual history of printed ballot design, illuminates the noble but often flawed process at the heart of our democracy. An exploration of US ballots from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this volume examines the unregulated, ornate, and, at times, absurd designs that formed the very foundation of our electoral system. These ballots offer insight into a pivotal time in American history, tracing the explosive growth of an evolving electorate as well as a legacy of electoral fraud, disenfranchisement, and skulduggery embodied by such schemes as the tapeworm ballot and the Tasmanian Dodge. A foreword by Julian E. Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, and an essay by Victoria Bassetti, fellow of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, further explore the vicissitudes of the vote, bringing the story of the ballot up to the electoral complications of the twenty-first century." --
