Lisa Fontana is an average American. She owns a small business, is college educated, but kept a dark secret…she didn’t cast her first vote for anything until she turned 35 years old! She had tried to buy a book to teach her about politics or the government so she could vote with confidence, but the bookstore shelves were lined with negativity, and all of them played the blame game. She knew she couldn’t ask anyone for help because it hadn’t gone well in the past. On a personal dare, the author says she once told 17 people in a single day that she had never voted before. All 17 reacted as if she’d confessed to drowning puppies in their sleep. Not one of them offered to extend anything beyond their frustration with her “stupidity” and “apathy.” So, she researched it herself, quietly putting the pieces together on her own until she figured it out. With an unwavering dedication to judgment free, balanced information (with a healthy dollop of funny and silly tossed in), she put this guide together to share what she learned with anyone else who might be looking for it too.
