As an AP Government teacher, Storm the Ballot Box has been an invaluable resource—both for enriching my own understanding of electoral systems and for bringing current, real-world relevance into the classroom. Jo-Ann Roberts combines her insider experience with a clear, engaging writing style that makes complex topics about voting, policy, and political reform not only accessible but compelling.

What I appreciate most is how the book connects historical context with ongoing debates about democratic participation and electoral justice. It offers practical insights into how our systems work (and sometimes fail to work), and it provides a strong foundation for discussing reforms and civic engagement with students.

This book is especially useful in helping students think critically about the mechanics of democracy beyond just memorizing facts—it encourages them to ask meaningful questions about fairness, representation, and the future of voting in America. Highly recommended for educators, civic leaders, and anyone looking to understand how real change happens at the ballot box.
