ReviewsVoting and the U.S. electoral process get graphic in this history comic, part of the four-book History Tipsters series (other titles take readers to Capitol Hill and the Oval Office and inspect the U.S. Constitution). Four brief chapters highlight various aspects of polling and counting votes, covering basics and adding interesting trivia tidbits (Wampanoag women used to vote to elect chiefs). After providing historical context, the action moves briskly through the creation of the U.S. system, how legislation slowly evolved to extend suffrage to women, people of color, and Indigenous people, and how issues regarding the freedom to vote still exist today. Energetic illustrations featuring a diverse cast of characters effectively propel the narrative, and helpful back matter fills in additional details. Appealing and concise curriculum reinforcement.
SynopsisToday, the right to vote might seem like an obvious part of our democracy. But the struggle for this basic right goes back hundreds of years. Take a tour through the ages to meet the people who shaped our current elections and voting rights. Get the hottest tips on how history was made in this fun graphic novel.
