Counting Votes

the long version

"The book features the insights and experiences of local election and political party officials in Florida involved in the 2000 election - people in the field who offer personal accounts of the events and explain the nuts-and-bolts work of elections - and essays by advocates of election reform and noted political scientists. It includes an overview of the history of elections and contemporary issues in elections and confronts outdated conventional wisdom concerning reforms."--BOOK JACKET.
