In this class we will read the literature on voting and elections. We will cover some literature on voting rights in the US. The class will have a field component, as students will not only be obligated to register to vote (if they are eligible), but also phone bank or canvass in person to talk to voters about some issue or candidate. Learn to understand the election system through participation! Each student will pick a local issue or candidate, and then the students will phonebank or canvass around that local issue or candidate and learn about what their fellow citizens have to say about their chosen issue. Students will present a post-mortem about their chosen candidate or issue after the November elections are over.
