In competitive and contested democratic elections, insuring
integrity is critical. Evaluating Elections shows why systematic
analysis and reporting of election performance is important and how
data-driven performance management can be used by election
officials to improve elections. The authors outline how performance
management systems can function in elections and their benefits for
voters, candidates and political parties. Journalists, election
administrators and even candidates often ask whether recent
elections were run well, whether there were problems in the
administration of a particular state's elections and how well
elections were run across the country. The authors explain that
such questions are difficult to answer because of the complexity of
election administration and because there is currently no standard
or accepted framework to assess the general quality of an election.
In a time and place teeming with miners desperate to strike it rich
in the gold rush, the slow-moving stagecoach filled with other
men's fortunes was often a temptation too great to resist. The
treasure-laden express box quickly became a favorite target among
road agents, making stagecoach robbery an enduring part of the
mythology of the Old West.William Brazleton was bold enough to
elude authorities - for a time, anyway - by reversing the direction
of his steed's horseshoes. Arizona's "petticoat bandit" Pearl Hart
liked to rob her stagecoaches with a polite and ladylike .38
caliber revolver. And the last stagecoach robber on the frontier
was practically caught red-handed - his bloody palm print being the
first used as evidence in a U.S. criminal prosecution.Great
Stagecoach Robberies of the Old West tells the stories of hauls too
large, murders too cold-blooded, and bandits too eccentric to fade
into obscurity.
