Workplace mobilization raises normative questions. It can increase turnout, but may also restrict voter autonomy. We discuss the conditions under which workplace mobilization of voters may be consistent with democratic theory with a focus on the US case.
We conclude by drawing implications for autocratic politics, political economy, democratic theory, and the case of Russia. Along the way, we have many colorful anecdotes, as well as some priceless posters and text messages encouraging workers to vote. Hope you enjoy it.
You stayed classy, San Diego. Thank you to the thousands who demonstrated peacefully today.
No arrests, and no incidents.
