Will Your Vote Count? Fixing America's Broken Electoral System

Voters in a democratic society should have confidence in the electoral process. Yet as Americans have witnessed in every election since 2000 voting-the basic act of citizenshipis under assault: technologically complex subject to manipulation and fiercely contested on many levels. Documenting the areas of collapse in the American electoral process this book analyzes ongoing problems in the casting and counting of ballots as well as new threats: future elections could be compromised by new voting machines that are unreliable poorly programmed and prone to tampering. At this critical moment for American democracy the author issues a call for urgently needed reforms.
