Review Quotes

?Mr. Teixeira's book is an important contribution to the academic dialogue on non-voting and represents a positive and quantum leap in academic analysis on the issue. It should serve as a benchmark and new starting point for future research and discussion on this issue. All those who are interested in the growing, serious and potentially dangerous problem of non-voting in America would be well-advised to read it.?-Curtis B. Gans, Director, Committee for the Study of the American Electorate.
