The present study, The National Voter Registration Act: Impact and Implications for Latino and Non-Latino Communities, is an important new case study on the impact of the NVRA in Arizona, particularly as it applies to Latinos in that state. The study also contributes new insight to the learning curve regarding procedural problems in administratively implementing NVRA-type reforms. A corollary contribution of the work is its application and critique of Rodney Hero's two-tiered pluralism theory of Latinos in the American political system, which has heretofore gone unchallenged. In the end, the study offers promise that continued policy initiatives, such as NVRA, are beneficial in enabling the United States to achieve universal suffrage. -- Maurilio E. Vigil, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Political Science, New Mexico University
