I'm delighted that Oxford University Press has published my new book Ballot Battles: The History of Disputed Elections in the United States. Rick Hasen was kind to let me write a series of blogs discussing five themes in the book. They are:
2. The Risk of Another Presidential Election is Higher Than Most Think
Also, electionline invited me to write a piece discussing how the history in the book helps identify reforms for the future; that piece is The Ghosts of Elections Past — and Yet to Come
Finally, Salon excerpted the book's chapter on Florida 2000.
Happy reading--and happy holidays!
