Concern about the integrity of American elections did not start with
Trump's election; flaws in procedures have gradually grown during
recent decades. The contemporary "tipping point" that raised public
awareness was the 2000 Bush v. Gore Florida count, but, the 2016
campaign and its aftermath clearly worsened several major structural
weaknesses. This deepened party polarization over the rules of the
game and corroded American trust in the electoral process. Disputes
over elections have proliferated on all sides in Trump's America with
heated debate about the key problems--whether the risks of electoral
fraud, fake news, voter suppression, or Russian interference--and with
no consensus about the right solutions. This book illuminates several
major challenges observed during the 2016 U.S. elections, focusing
upon concern about both the security and inclusiveness of the voter
registration process in America. Given the importance of striking the
right balance between security and inclusiveness in voter
registration, this volume brings together legal scholars, political
scientists, and electoral assistance practitioners to provide new
evidence-based insights and policy-relevant recommendations.
