A government for, by and of the people should naturally include a wide variety of voices, but American politics has traditionally been dominated by white males. According to the "Diversity Gap" study series published by Lee & Low Books, for example, just 10 percent of state governors in 2013 were either females or people of color. While it's not possible to take every single voice into account in politics, political diversity can help ensure that, among other advantages, the largest number are heard.
