How We Vote: Innovation in American Elections , by Kathleen Hale and Mitchell Brown
The controversy over and the crisis of the 2020 presidential election gave us a dramatic reminder that the validity and integrity of American democracy depend upon the fitness of a sprawling and diverse election system. The system survived a major stress test, posed by Donald Trump’s allegations that the election was stolen; his intimidation of election officials; attacks on voting machine manufacturers; and a barrage of lawsuits. How did the sys…
Momentum and Media in the 2012 Republican Presidential Nomination
This article uses A ldrich's (2009) formula to devise “momentum scores” that allow us to track momentum for the major candidates in the 2012 R epublican presidential nomination throughout the primary season. Though M itt R omney had a major advantage in fundraising and endorsements before the primaries began, his biggest gains in momentum came late in the primary season. We compare momentum changes to media mentions and tone of coverage derived f…
Evaluating Majority Party Leaders in Congress
Evaluations of majority party leaders come from three main sources: political scientists, media analysts, and members of Congress. Political scientists are the theoreticians. They have defined concepts and developed theories for evaluating leadership style, strategy, and strength. Journalists are the watchdogs. They regularly evaluate leader performance in response to contemporary events. Members of Congress then serve as the judges and juries. T…
Election Reform after Hava: Voter Verification in Congress and the States
Requiring voting machines to produce a voter-verifiable paper record (VVPR) has been the most prominent election reform issue in Congress and across the states since the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. Whereas HAVA emerged from a bipartisan process that included cooperation and input from state and local government officials, VVPR legislation represents a more coercive brand of federalism that has divided the parties and evoked opposition b…
Policy Crisis and Political Leadership: Election Law Reform in the States after the 2000 Presidential Election
What effect do political leaders have on policy adoption in response to a crisis? The vote-counting crisis in the presidential election in Florida in 2000 forced policymakers in all 50 states to re-examine their own election laws and procedures. Some state leaders acted as entrepreneurs, seizing the opportunity to advance major reform, while others sought only modest or no substantive change. We test the impact of political leadership on policy a…
State and Local Government Organizations and the Formation of the Help America Vote Act
Several state and local government organizations lobbied Congress during the formation of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). This article distinguishes between “general” government organizations (those that represent the general interests of state and local governments) and “functionalist” organizations (those that implement specific programs or functions). Whereas generalists sought to advance “spatial” interests, functionalists sought to advance…
Hava and the States
Two major events—the 2000 vote counting crisis in Florida and passage of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in October 2002—spawned a wave of federal, state, and local policy innovation and policy implementation. The major effect of the Florida crisis was a nationwide effort to analyze information on elections and to debate policy solutions. Subsequently, HAVA, the first major election law in U.S. history that includes federal funds for election eq…

Majority Party Leadership and Budget Policymaking in the House of Representatives
Budget policy dominated the congressional agenda during the 1980s. During that same period, the Speaker of the House of Representatives became more involved in formulating the priorities of the majority party, a task traditionally left up to committees. This paper traces the development of the Speaker's role in formulating budget priorities by assessing changes in the Speaker's relationship with the House Budget Committee. The paper identifies th…
