Keyssar on Voting Rights for 2012 Election

Joey mentioned he’d caught part of this radio program, and I thought I’d post it for everyone. The author of our textbook The Right to Vote, Harvard professor Alex Keyssar, appeared on the WBUR NPR radio program “Radio Boston” on 2/13/12 to talk about voting rights. Specifically, he argues that we are currently in a period of contraction of the voting right, which could matter for the outcome of the 2012 election, and he also published an op-ed piece this week in the New York Times that explores these ideas, called “The Strange Career of Voter Suppression.”
