The 2020 election produced a record number of early ballots, cast in myriad different ways. In this essential book, Elliott Fullmer shows that the 2020 election was merely the continuation of a trend toward early voting, which has important political and normative implications. Fullmer uses a variety of empirical methods to explore the implications and consequences of early voting. His analysis is careful, thorough, and persuasive. Fullmer balances the dangers that substantial early voting would leave a majority of the electorate unable to respond to critical campaign events with the increased convenience of voting that allows more Americans to participate in elections. This book belongs on the bookshelf of all those who study elections. -- Clyde Wilcox, Georgetown University Early voting poses many challenges to classical models of voting. In Tuesday’s Gone, Fullmer gives us his perceptive account of how these voting reforms are reshaping American elections. His book is packed with data-rich insights on how these early voting reforms are changing our understanding of turnout, the importance of accessible elections for minority voters, and how early voting can profoundly alter the race for the presidential nomination. -- Peter Miller, Brennan Center for Justice, New York University
