This book was released on 2010-02-03 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The election of the Speaker in 2009 was the first to be held under the new rules recommended by the Procedure Committee in 2000. The Committee reports satisfaction that it met the test of enabling the House to reach its decision in a fair and transparent way, and the use of the secret ballot was a particular success. Some improvements, though, are recommended: names of sponsors should be published; the minimum number of sponsors should be increased to 15; hustings should be welcomed but should continue to be run by outside organisations; the time allowed for each round of voting should be reduced to 20 minutes to speed up the process. The Committee has also devised a detailed procedure for electing Deputy Speakers reflecting that used for the Speaker, including the secret ballot, a minimum number of sponsors and publication of the names of those sponsors. Candidates should submit a brief statement along with their nomination form instead of speeches or hustings. The existing conventions would continue: the four Deputy Speakers should be drawn equally from the Government and opposition side of the House; there should be at least one man and at least one woman on the team.

Download or read book The Fight to Vote written by Michael Waldman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised by the late John Lewis, this is the seminal book about the long and ongoing struggle to win voting rights for all citizens by the president of The Brennan Center, the leading organization on voter rights and election security, now newly revised to describe today’s intense fights over voting. As Rep. Lewis said, and recent events in state legislatures across the country demonstrate, the struggle for the right to vote is not over. In this “important and powerful” (Linda Greenhouse, former New York Times Supreme Court correspondent) book Michael Waldman describes the long struggle to extend the right to vote to all Americans. From the writing of the Constitution, and at every step along the way, as disenfranchised Americans sought this right, others have fought to stop them. Waldman traces this history from the Founders’ debates to today’s many restrictions: gerrymandering; voter ID laws; the flood of dark money released by conservative organizations; and the concerted effort in many state legislatures after the 2020 election to enact new limitations on voting. Despite the pandemic, the 2020 election had the highest turnout since 1900. In this updated edition, Waldman describes the nationwide effort that made this possible. He offers new insights into how Donald Trump’s false claims of fraud—“the Big Lie”—led to the January 6 insurrection and the fights over voting laws that followed one of the most dramatic chapters in the story of American democracy. As Waldman shows, this fight, sometimes vicious, has always been at the center of American politics because it determines the outcome of the struggle for power. The Fight to Vote is “an engaging, concise history…offering many useful reforms that advocates on both sides of the aisle should consider” (The Wall Street Journal).
