In this timely and accessible book, Richard L. Hasen uses riveting stories illustrating four factors increasing the mistrust. Voter suppression has escalated as a Republican tool aimed to depress turnout of likely Democratic voters, fueling suspicion. Pockets of incompetence in election administration, often in large cities controlled by Democrats, have created an opening to claims of unfairness. Old-fashioned and new-fangled dirty tricks, including foreign and domestic misinformation campaigns via social media, threaten electoral integrity. Inflammatory rhetoric about ?stolen? elections supercharges distrust among hardcore partisans.   Taking into account how each of these threats has manifested in recent years?most notably in the 2016 and 2018 elections?Hasen offers concrete steps that need to be taken to restore trust in American elections before the democratic process is completely undermined. 606 $aElections$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y2017- 615 0$aElections 676 $a324.973 700 $aHasen$b Richard L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01104567 712 02$aYale University Press. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793808003321 996 $aElection Meltdown$93718777 997 $aUNINA
