Political observers routinely lament that American democracy is
broken, and many of them blame electoral malfunction. But is the
system really broken? Panagopoulos and Weinschenk make the case
that citizens are empowered to fix what's wrong with electoral
politics and renew democracy in America, all within the
institutional setup and framework of the existing system. Put
simply, much of what is broken can be fixed if people stop throwing
up their arms and start rolling up their sleeves to do the hard
work of building our democracy. This book provides an overview of
the basic features that characterize contemporary elections in the
United States and includes discussions about voter participation
and decision-making patterns, money in elections, and the role of
parties and the media in presidential, congressional and state and
local races. It also outlines some of the most important trends and
challenges in the current system. As a call to action, each chapter
features potential solutions to the challenges that exist in U.S.
elections.
