Drawing on 20 years of advocacy and scholarship, Steven Hill outlines an information age overhaul for America's agrarian-age electoral machinery. His ten innovative reforms, ranging from the nuts and bolts of how we count ballots to a whole new electoral system, add up to a compelling blueprint for a more perfect union in the 21st century.
-Ted Halstead, president and CEO of the New America Foundation
Ten Steps is a blueprint for a reinvigoration of our republic. Hill shows that there actually is a way we can keep faith with our Founding Fathers. The question isn't: What, way back when, did Jefferson (and Madison and Hamilton) do? The question is: What would they do now? The answers begin here.
