This handbook provides a sweeping overview of U.S. campaign and
election reform efforts, past and present, from the introduction of
the secret ballot to touch-screen voting. Emphasizing the major
electoral reforms since 2000, this second edition of Campaign and
Election Reform investigates the development of the American
electoral system from colonial times to the present. It chronicles
efforts to expand suffrage, reform campaign financing, and prevent
vote fraud, and traces the development of election technology from
the paper ballot to the lever voting machine, from the punch-card
ballot to the optical-scan and touch-screen systems. The book also
explores alternative voting systems, such as preference voting and
proportional representation, and compares the U.S. electoral
process with the voting systems of selected European democracies.
Campaign and Election Reform, Second Edition is essential reading
for any citizen who wants to understand the U.S. electoral system,
what's wrong with it, and how it might be fixed. Includes extensive
quotations from reform advocates, along with excerpts from
legislation and court cases related to changing campaign and
election procedures Summaries of recent research on voter turnout
provide a means of evaluating legislation intended to increase
voter registration and turnout rates
