To write your Analysis Paper #1, follow these three steps:
Compare Census data on how people voted in the 2020 Election to the Brennan Center’s report on the increase of restrictive laws proposed and passed in the U.S. after the election.
As you analyze the data, keep in mind the two questions below. In your paper, use and apply the book information, the micro-lectures through this week, and the Eric Liu video, etc. in answers. Your grade will be based on applying course concepts to your answers–see grading rubric.
Who’s power is most affected by more restrictive and more expansive voting laws and why? (who will be most affected by these laws in which states given what you learned in the Census data)
What does this political and power battle between more expansive vs. more restrictive voting laws mean for the quality of U.S. democracy?
3. Then write a two-page paper finding course concepts that come up from your analysis in Steps 1
