How the history of American voting rights has shaped the way we vote today Coinciding with the 2020 US presidential election, Drawing the Vote, an original graphic novel, looks at the history of voting rights in the United States and how it affects the way we vote today. Throughout the book, the author, Tommy Jenkins, identifies events and trends that led to the unprecedented results of the 2016 presidential election that left America political parties more estranged than ever. To balance these complex ideas and statistics, Kati Lacker's original artistic style makes the book accessible for readers of all ages. At a time when many citizens are experiencing challenges and apathy about voting and skepticism concerning our bitterly divided political parties, Drawing the Vote seeks to offer some explanation for how we got here and how every American can take action to make their vote count.

A clear, engaging introduction to how voting works in the United States―and why it matters―Drawing the Vote presents the history of American voting rights in a format designed for today’s readers. Through accessible comics storytelling, it traces the evolution of democracy from its earliest foundations to the forces shaping elections in the present day.
Following key moments including the American Revolution, the Civil War, the fight for women’s suffrage, and the civil rights movement, this book connects these milestones to modern issues such as gerrymandering and voter access. By placing current debates in historical context, it helps readers understand how past decisions continue to influence how Americans vote today.
The graphic format balances complex ideas with visual clarity, making topics like electoral systems, political divides, and civic participation easier to grasp. The result is a concise but wide-ranging overview of the structures and challenges that define American democracy.
Written for future voters, the book serves as a practical primer on civic participation, offering readers a clearer understanding of their role in the democratic process and why informed engagement matters.
"Drawing the Vote is a great pick for both adults and young Americans who want to understand what it means to be a voter.” ―Shelf Awareness
