Book Description
GUIDE TO ELECTORAL FRAUD Loser take all By Tah Asongwed Some people mistakenly thought elections could be fraud free until they witnessed a form of electoral fraud practiced in the United States of America during the 2000 presidential elections. Until then, it had always been assumed that electoral fraud was a plague that affected mainly developing countries, especially African countries where elections, by their very nature and definition, are fraud-stained. Guide to Electoral Fraud (Loser take all) is a very original and professional work of art that lays down the broad strokes of electoral fraud actions that can be undertaken by any individual or group of individuals aspiring to an elective office. While its main focus is Africa, there is no doubt that politicians and readers all over the world will find it extremely useful. Everywhere on the African continent, people at all levels are involved in an oedipal struggle for survival and regeneration and clamoring for the right to take part in selecting those who should reign over them. This is a basic, fundamental, and legitimate quest for self-development because no people, no matter how lowly, can accept to carry the yoke of oppression indefinitely. Moreover, people want to believe the illusion that elections produce good leaders. President Gaulus Machando Mayabi has felt obliged to draw the attention of the world, and particularly that of incumbent and aspiring African tribal president-monarchs, to what they need to do to continue maintaining themselves in power by force so as to keep their people in abject subjugation and their countries on the straight and downward road to political, economic, and cultural ruin. There comes a time in the political life of nations and in the political fortunes of leaders when someone, preferably a man of honor and integrity like President Gaulus Machando Mayabi, has to take up the gauntlet in the defense of his fellow African tribal president-monarchs and himself under the pretext that he is defending the nation and its institutions. Guide to Electoral Fraud (Loser take all) has therefore been written to cater primarily to the interests of reigning tribal African president-monarchs. But beyond serving the needs of African tribal president-monarchs and aspiring candidates for elective office, it is also intended to serve a much wider and composite audience made up of international observers, donor countries, foreign embassy staff, international spy networks, political scientists, African and foreign politicians, students of politics, human rights organizations, etc. Although most African tribal president-monarchs are already very familiar with the methods described in this book, it is hoped that the book will serve as a ready reckoner and as a kind of vade mecum so that each time they want to organize an election, all they have to do is pick up the book and refer to the appropriate recipe, and then use their imagination to concoct the menu they want to serve their people. Their imagination is therefore the limit. Guide to Electoral Fraud (Loser take all) is an elections rulebook and the holy grail of election malpractice. It rightly parts the curtains for the world to peep inside the dark kitchen where African elections are cooked. The reader will be able to take a glimpse at the soot-stained white chefs and advisers of African tribal president-monarchs while sniffing the suffocating stench of the elections mishmash. Chances are that readers will be knocked out instantly by the black pall of smoke from the kitchen but, hopefully, the smoke shouldn't take long to clear for them to see through the election smokescreen and behold the stark nudity of the African tin gods sitting round the fireplace and stirring the election cauldron. There is no doubt that Guide to Electoral Fraud (Loser take all) will fill the yawning gap that exists in the world's knowledge about the way undemocratic elections are con

Book Description
Following a normative approach that suggests international norms and standards for elections apply universally, regardless of regime type or cultural context, this book examines the challenges to electoral integrity, the actors involved, and the consequences of electoral malpractice and poor electoral integrity that vary by regime type. It bridges the literature on electoral integrity with that of political regime types. Looking specifically at questions of innovation and learning, corruption and organized crime, political efficacy and turnout, the threat of electoral violence and protest, and finally, the possibility of regime change, it seeks to expand the scholarly understanding of electoral integrity and diverse regimes by exploring the diversity of challenges to electoral integrity, the diversity of actors that are involved and the diversity of consequences that can result. This text will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of electoral studies, and more broadly of relevance to comparative politics, international development, political behaviour and democracy, democratization, and autocracy.

Book Description
This book, by Sonja Zmerli and Marc Hooghe, presents cutting-edge empirical research on political trust as a relational concept. From a European comparative perspective it addresses a broad range of contested issues. Can political trust be conceived as a one-dimensional concept and to what extent do international population surveys warrant the culturally equivalent measurement of political trust across European societies? Is there indeed an observable general trend of declining levels of political trust? What are the individual, societal and political prerequisites of political trust and how do they translate into trustful attitudes? Why do so many Eastern European citizens still distrust their political institutions and how does the implementation of welfare state policies both enhance and benefit from political trust? The comprehensive empirical evidence presented in this book by leading scholars provides valuable insights into the relational aspects of political trust and will certainly stimulate future research. This book features: a state-of-the-art European perspective on political trust; an analysis of the most recent trends with regard to the development of political trust; a comparison of traditional and emerging democracies in Europe; the consequences of political trust on political stability and the welfare state; a counterbalance to the gloomy American picture of declining political trust levels.

Book Description
Allegations of fraud have marred recent elections around the world, from Russia and Italy to Mexico and the United States. Such charges raise fundamental questions about the quality of democracy in each country. Yet election fraud and, more broadly, electoral manipulation remain remarkably understudied concepts. There is no consensus on what constitutes election fraud, let alone how to detect and deter it. E lection Fraud: Detecting and Deterring Electoral Manipulation brings together experts on election law, election administration, and U.S. and comparative politics to address these critical issues. The first part of the book, which opens with an essay by Craig Donsanto of the U.S. Department of Justice, examines the U.S. understanding of election fraud in comparative perspective. In the second part of the book, D. Roderick Kiewiet, Jonathan N. Katz, and other scholars of U.S. elections draw on a wide variety of sources, including survey data, incident reports, and state-collected fraud allegations, to measure the extent and nature of election fraud in the United States. Finally, the third part of the book analyzes techniques for detecting and potentially deterring fraud. These strategies include both statistical analysis, as Walter R. Mebane, Jr. and Peter Ordeshook explain, and the now widespread practice of election monitoring, which Alberto Simpser examines in an intriguing essay.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
John Fund explores the real divide the country faces with the looming election. Through wary thoughts on voting integrity, he shows how eletions can be decided by the votes of dead people, illegal felon voters, and absentee voters that simply don't exist. If nothing is done to address the growing cynicism about vote counting, rest assured that another close presidential election that descends into bitter partisan wrangling is just around the corner.
