This new book examines the actual politics of voting in the United States and shows how voting rights can empower minority groups. It is not widely known that non-citizens currently vote in local elections in Maryland and in Chicago, nor that over the last decade campaigns to expand the franchise the non-citizens have been launched in at least a dozen other jurisdictions from coast to coast. These practices have their roots in another little known fact: for most of the country's history from the founding until the 1920s - non-citizens voted in 22 states' local, state and even federal elections and also held public office such as alderman, coroner and school board member.
