Description

This is the first full history of voting in Wisconsin from statehood in 1848 to the present. Fowler both tells the story of voting in key elections around the years and investigates electoral trends and patterns over the course of Wisconsin’s history. He explores the ways in which ethnic and spiritual groups within the state have voted historically and how they vote nowadays, and he looks on the successes and screw ups of the two major parties through the years. Highlighting vital historical movements, Fowler discusses the great struggle for women’s suffrage and the wealthy tales of many Wisconsin third parties—the Socialists, Progressives, the Prohibition Party, and others. Here, too, are the famous politicians in Wisconsin history, such as the La Follettes, William Proxmire, and Tommy Thompson.
