Book Description
A repeat of the Florida debacle in the 2000 presidential election is the fear of every election administrator. Despite the relatively complication-free 2008 election, we are working with fairly new federal legislation designed to ease election administration problems. The implementation of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) raises the question, how effective have reforms been? Could another Florida happen? Helping America Vote is focused on the conflict between values of access and integrity in U.S. election administration. Kropf and Kimball examine both what was included in HAVA and what was not. Widespread agreement that voting equipment was a problem made technology the centerpiece of the legislation, and it has remedied a number of pressing concerns. But there is still reason to be concerned about key aspects of electronic voting, ballot design, and the politics of partisan administrators. It takes a legitimacy crisis for serious election reforms to happen at the federal level, and seemingly, the crisis has passed. However, the risk is still very much present for the electoral process to fail. What are the implications for democracy when we attempt reform?

Book Description
Investigations after the 2000 elections revealed that between 1.5 million voters and 3 million voters were not able to cast a ballot in the 2000 presidential election because of registration problems. Congress passed the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), under which voters whose eligibility is in doubt on Election Day -- voters whose names are not on the registration rolls or whose eligibility has been questioned -- will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot that will be counted once election officials determine the voter is eligible. The concept and language of HAVA's provisional ballot requirement establishes a new and fundamental principle that no voter coming to the polls on Election Day will be turned away without being given an opportunity to cast a ballot.
