Erin: I should start by saying the goal of the book is to increase voter turnout. I wanted to include all the information that would empower and inspire people to vote and bring all their friends with them, hopefully. The way the book came about is sort of two strings. One couldn't have happened without the other. In 2016 after the election, there were so many questions that I personally had as a reporter and as a voter and just as a citizen. The world seemed so in disagreement. I'm from a tiny town in Texas. I live in New York City. Those felt like different universes. I've spent my whole life being able to see the commonalities. I feel like I'm very much in both places. All of a sudden, it was just different worlds. I was playing with all of those things in my head. Usually, I write features about business trends and legal trends. I don't write about politics.
