Campaigns and Elections

The United States through its local state and national contests holds more elections more often than any other democracy in the world. But in recent years there have been troubling signs that our system of campaigns and elections has become much more fragile than we had previously thought. Through a clear concise and objective question-and-answer format this book provides a solid understanding of why campaigns and elections are integral components of American democracy and how those fundamental elements may be vulnerable to misuse.
