Description

Georgia and the Power of the Vote is a book that traces the history of Georgia's voting rights from the year 1865 to 2023. The story of Georgia's voting rights has been a topic of national interest since the Reconstruction era. Over the years, there have been multiple waves of voter registration, mobilization, and suppression efforts by those who want to maintain their power and those who are committed to acquiring it. This has created a tug-of-war between those who want to maintain the status quo and those who are determined to disrupt it, as well as those who want to exercise their right to vote and those trying to suppress it.

This struggle between Georgians has had a significant impact on national policy, leading to landmark court decisions, social movements, and the rise of national leaders. The book provides a detailed account of this historical journey, highlighting the pull-pull forces that have driven Georgia's enfranchisement history and the national implications that have followed.
