Booklist Review of History Tipsters Go to the Polls

Voting and the U.S. electoral process get graphic in this history comic, part of the four-book History Tipsters series (other titles take readers to Capitol Hill and the Oval Office and inspect the U.S. Constitution). Four brief chapters highlight various aspects of polling and counting votes, covering basics and adding interesting trivia tidbits (e.g., Wampanoag women have voted for centuries to elect leaders). After providing historical context, the action moves briskly through the creation of the U.S. system; how legislation slowly evolved to extend suffrage to women, people of color, and Indigenous people; and how issues regarding the freedom to vote still exist today. Energetic illustrations featuring a diverse cast of characters effectively propel the narrative, and helpful backmatter fills in additional details. Appealing and concise curriculum reinforcement.
