Stealing Democracy: The New Politics of Voter Suppression Book

Seemed timely. Particularly given the unprecedented number of reported incidents of voter intimidation happening in North Carolina. In 2012. It's well written (despite an unfortunate and extended analogy to the movie The Matrix) and informative, though I would love to see a new edition with updated statistics (but I'd wager to guess the trends indicated herein only continue their trajectory to today). The thing I enjoyed most was that Overton not just highlights some of the problems inherent in our current electoral system, but also tries to present positive policy prescriptions to address said issues.
