Many factors can affect who is able to cast a ballot on Election Day, including what kind of identification a voter needs, how many polling places are open, and any illegal attempts to suppress turnout among certain demographics. The articles in this volume examine how voter suppression has become a hotly contested issue, with many Democrats arguing that restrictive policies disproportionally affect communities such as black voters, students, and impoverished neighborhoods, whereas many Republicans consider voter ID laws necessary to prevent fraud, even though studies show in-person voter fraud is extremely rare. Through the reporting in this compilation and its media literacy guide, readers will gain an understanding about the many forms of voter suppression and its impact on U.S. elections.

      Grades 7-12 These accounts are not stories ripped from the headlines; they're the stories that made the headlines. Culled from The New York Times, these entries from the In the Headlines series (8 new titles) are collections of news articles, analyses, opinion pieces, and letters to the editor about timely, provocative subjects. Each book uses multiple chapters to highlight a range of perspectives on the overall theme. While some of the contributions pinpoint practices in New York, many investigate the topic in other cities and regions, and still more report through a national lens. Original photographs accompany these examples. Voter Suppression examines groups targeted by voter suppression, the impact of voter fraud and ID laws, the 2018 Georgia governor's race, and the history of voting. The volumes conclude with media literacy terms and guided media literacy questions about specific contributions. This thought-provoking journalism series not only provides an in-the-moment news source but helps students develop their media literacy skills.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
