Elections
In 1844, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “The salvation of America and of the human race depends on the next Election, if we believe the newspapers.” Today’s political media comes in many forms, but has the essence of the message really changed? Visit the Elections Community Center to learn about candidates, process, voters – the history of U.S. elections – through primary sources from the Library of Congress.
