The Trifecta in Voting Barrier Causation: Economics, Politics, and Race - Paperback

by Shauna Reilly (Author), Ryan Yonk (Contribution by), Devon Moffett (Contribution by)

This book examines the voting restrictions that have been implemented across the United States in the post-2008 recession era. Navigating the literature and conventional wisdom, this book navigates the fiscal, partisan and racial influences on voting rights laws in a post-recession era. Reilly explores the role each of these three influences have had on policy and culminate in a trifecta of effects. This is the first contribution to the literature that explores fiscal impacts with the interaction of race and partisanship.
