Description
The 2000 presidential election was a wake-up call for many Americans. The controversy surrounding the vote count led to demands for election reform. However, the new voting systems introduced since then have serious security flaws and are often confusing and difficult to use. Douglas Jones and Barbara Simons examine the ways in which American elections work today, highlighting the inaccuracies, unreliability, and insecurity of our voting systems. They approach this issue from a technological, legal, and historical perspective, providing a thorough analysis of the current state of voting technology. This book is an important tool for anyone interested in election administration, political science, or government and technology policy. Broken Ballots offers a critical look at the voting climate in America, shedding light on the issues that need to be addressed to ensure the integrity of our electoral process.
