100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting

Timely: Americans have never been more interested in elections: From eliminating the electoral college to early and mail-in voting, felon enfranchisement, faithless electors, and Russian interference, the topic continues to be front and center. Radical Idea: The idea of requiring everyone to vote is not currently on the table and should be. This will get a lot of attention. There is no trade book on the topic available, with a forthcoming Oxford University Press book by Shane P. Singh, titled Beyond Turnout: How Compulsory Voting Shapes Citizens and Political Parties, is the only new academic offering. Sales Track: Dionne is the best-selling author of One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet Deported (2017), with Norman J. Ornstein and Thomas E. Mann, which sold over 20,000 copies and was named one of the Washington Post's Best Books of the Year. Both Why the Right Went Wrong (2016) and Our Divided Political Heart (2012) sold over 10,000 copies. Dionne also co-authored We Are the Change We Seek: The Speeches of Barack Obama with Joy-Ann Reid (2017), which sold over 20,000 copies. Platform: Dionne has a regular column in the Washington Post; Rapoport writes op-eds for a wide range of places, including The American Prospect, Common Dreams, and Huff Post. Between them, they have extensive networks (Rapoport is the former head of Common Cause and Demos), all of whom will take up this issue.

The English Constitution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 680min

Though published in 1867 when the British Empire was approaching its height, Walter Bagehot’s essay "The English Constitution" is not only one of the great political classics but is also an unquestionably relevant document for our times. Despite the passing of more than 150 years, despite huge changes in enfranchisement, in attitudes and in world order, this fascinating document prompts us to re-evaluate the process of government - wherever we live. And what is more, it is written with grace, elegance - and wit! Of course, it is a document of its time. It appeared just as the working classes of Britain were enfranchised by the Reform Act of 1867, which meant that Bagehot had to bring out another edition with an extended introduction. His comments are shrewd in some cases and will raise 21st-century eyebrows in others. Nevertheless, the body of the book remains a clear and astute look at how the famously ‘unwritten’ English Constitution operates, with all its pros and its cons...a system that emerged over centuries to become a unique constitutional monarchy. The work is divided into nine chapters, including "The Cabinet", "The Monarchy", "The House of Lords", "The House of Commons", and "Its Supposed Checks and Balances". Overall, Bagehot (1826-1877) casts an admiring but coolly analytical eye over the whole construction. In a fascinating section, still apposite today, he compares the cabinet government of England with the presidential government of the US, pointing out that in the former, the executive and legislative functions are joined, whereas in the latter they are separated. Not surprisingly, Bagehot unequivocally prefers the former. He salutes the political temperance of English constitutional monarchy - though he acknowledges the performance of the individual on the throne can and does vary with the individual. When he refers appreciatively to his current monarch - ‘she’ - one could almost be excused ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Wickham.

The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 988min

Both a page-turning drama and an inspiration for every reader. (Hillary Rodham Clinton)Soon to Be a major television eventThe nail-biting climax of one of the greatest political battles in American history: the ratification of the constitutional amendment that granted women the right to vote. "With a skill reminiscent of Robert Caro, [Weiss] turns the potentially dry stuff of legislative give-and-take into a drama of courage and cowardice." (The Wall Street Journal)"Weiss is a clear and genial guide with an ear for telling language... She also shows a superb sense of detail, and it's the deliciousness of her details that suggests certain individuals warrant entire novels of their own... Weiss's thoroughness is one of the book's great strengths. So vividly had she depicted events that by the climactic vote (spoiler alert: The amendment was ratified!), I got goose bumps." (Curtis Sittenfeld, The New York Times Book Review)Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, 12 have rejected or refused to vote, and one last state is needed. It all comes down to Tennessee, the moment of truth for the suffragists, after a seven-decade crusade. The opposing forces include politicians with careers at stake, liquor companies, railroad magnates, and a lot of racists who don't want black women voting. And then there are the "Antis" - women who oppose their own enfranchisement, fearing suffrage will bring about the moral collapse of the nation. They all converge in a boiling hot summer for a vicious face-off replete with dirty tricks, betrayals and bribes, bigotry, Jack Daniel's, and the Bible.Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective forces into battle, along with appearances by Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Frederick Douglass, and Eleanor Roosevelt, The Woman's Hour is an inspiring story of activists winning their own freedom in one of th ungekürzt.
