Three of our faculty members at the Moritz College of Law at the Ohio
State University have recently written a wonderful Election Law
book. The book was published by the College, rather than by a
commercial publisher, so you may not have seen it in your normal
acquisitions process. Here is the information in case you are interested.
From Registration to Recounts: The Election Ecosystems of Five
Midwestern States, ISBN 978-0-9801400-0-2 ($21.95)
By Steven F. Huefner, Daniel P. Tokaji & Edward B. Foley, with Nathan
A. Cemenska
From voting machines to provisional ballots to voter identification
requirements, the "nuts and bolts" of the country's election systems
have generated concern across the political spectrum. Yet in the
face of considerable disagreement over what changes should be made,
the debate has too often proceeded without an adequate understanding
of existing rules and practices. This book helps fill that gap by
describing the results of a yearlong study of election administration
in five key Midwestern states: Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio,
and Wisconsin. Not only have these five states historically played a
pivotal role in national politics, but they also provide examples of
a variety of approaches to election administration. The book's
in-depth, comprehensive election administration study offers analysis
of what has worked well in these five states and what has fallen
short. This groundbreaking study will assist legislators and
policymakers as they work to build election ecosystems that are
efficient, effective, fair, and accessible to all citizens.
