An exploration and celebration of US ballots from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this visual history reveals unregulated, outlandish, and, at times, absurd designs that reflect the explosive growth and changing face of the voting public. The ballots offer insight into a pivotal time in American history--a period of tectonic shifts in the electoral system--fraught with electoral fraud, disenfranchisement, scams, and skullduggery, as parties printed their own tickets and voters risked their lives going to the polls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alicia Yin Cheng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616898879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616898878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton Architectural Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 6.80w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021","brand":"Alicia Yin Cheng","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048536830207,"sku":"9781616898878","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e8e92bb-57b1-4f01-83a7-c154fb408e75.jpg?v=1684996341","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-what-democracy-looked-alicia-yin-cheng-9781616898878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
