To answer that question, starting from the premise that the way our political processes are designed inevitably creates incentives for certain styles of politics and candidates, the Task Force on American Electoral Reform spent two years exploring alternative ideas for reforming key aspects of the US electoral process. The results of their work are presented in this essential book. 606 $aElections$zUnited States 606 $aPolarization (Social sciences)$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aVoting$zUnited States 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Parties$2bisacsh 615 0$aElections 615 0$aPolarization (Social sciences)$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aVoting 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Parties. 676 $a324.973 700 $aDiamond$b Larry, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0120888 702 $aBoatright$b Robert G., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDiamond$b Larry, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDrutman$b Lee, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFoley$b Edward B., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aFoley$b Edward B., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLa Raja$b Ray, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLee$b Frances, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPildes$b Richard H., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPildes$b Richard H., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996647844203316 996 $aElectoral Reform in the United States$94343945 997 $aUNISA
