Ron Hayduk teaches political science at the Borough of Manhattan Community College of the City University of New York.

"This is an immensely valuable and promising project...tackled in a
serious and thorough way. This book has a chance to speak to a
broad national audience in a clear and accessible manner." -- Jamin
Raskin, author of Overruling Democracy
"Democracy for All is the most thoroughgoing exploration we have of
non-citizen voting in the United States, past and present. The
issues raised by Hayduk's book - particularly at a time of high
rates of immigration - ought to inform public debate in communities
across the nation." -- Alexander Keyssar, Professor of History and
Social Policy, Harvard University, and author of TheRight to
Vote
"This passionately argued and thoroughly documented work is the
best single study of whether to grant electoral rights to immigrant
non-citizens. Hayduk carefully, clearly, and compellingly dissects
the past, present, and future of one of our era's most important
civil rights challenges." -- John Mollenkopf, Distinguished
Professor of Political Science, City University Graduate Center
"Millions of long-term non-citizen residents abide in the United
States without any formal representation in its democratic
political system. Hayduk provides a thorough, and much-needed brief
outlining the history, contemporary status, and arguments for (and
against) non-citizen voting in the U.S. An excellent source for an
important question in American politics today." -- Michael
Jones-Correa, Department of Government, Cornell University
