The Great Suppression: Voting Rights, Corporate Cash, and the Conservative Assault on Democracy by Zachary Roth

4.0

Interesting. Make no mistake, this book clearly favors one side over the other. That's rather obvious just from the title of the book. I think that the book does a decent job in describing the various ways that the right employs tactics that are...democratically questionable to say the least. However, I think this book could have benefited from being longer, giving itself space to dive deeper into tactics from the elite on not just the conservative side but the liberal side too that seek to undermine the will and desires of the mass public. (With that being said, I find it necessary to personally note that this book did into my own biases. If you were to ask me, I would say that I definitely agree with the author in his argument that the right actively seeks to undermine the democratic process or at the very least, radically redefine what is considered the democratic process. Just throwing that out there).

This book is quite short. Although the book is listed as 288 pages, it's actually around 180 pages if you disregard the 100~ pages of notes.
