For those interested in voting systems, towards the end of the book the

For myself, I am coming to believe the only hope is for the Democrats to
retake control of both houses and the presidency, so as to enable them
to push through voting reform. Although, in fairness, it is not clear
that they would do that it they did gain control. But I do not see any
other way to implement change to the current situation.
