Review of 'One person, no vote' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

For much of the time I was reading One Person, No Vote, I thought it unnecessary because we already have Give Us the Ballot (Ari Berman). However, this one 1. is from a different perspective, 2. is updated, and 3. has a nifty list of resource organizations in which to get involved/to support.

Like GUtB, OPNV is fairly dry, absolutely infuriating, and a must-read. We have behaved (are still behaving) shamefully as a country. All of us who are able to vote (those of us who still have franchise—while we still have it) must vote for candidates who will do what's right for the entire country and all its people, not for those who are power-hungry and greedy of resources.
