In it, big thinkers discuss big ideas. Their analyses are rich, detailed, and incisive. This might very well turn out to be the book that launches a thousand reforms.  Costas Panagopoulos, Northeastern University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt this time when distrust and partisanship are too often justifications for the status quo, the authors offer evidence-based, consensus-driven, achievable proposals to improve governance in the United States. Anyone interested in reforming US democracy should start here. Derek T. Muller, Notre Dame Law School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the midst of the political ugliness that has become part of our everyday reality, are there steps that can be taken to counter polarization and extremism practical steps that are acceptable across the political spectrum? To answer that question, starting from the premise that the way our political processes are designed inevitably creates incentives for certain styles of politics and candidates, the Task Force on American Electoral Reform spent two years exploring alternative ideas for reforming key aspects of the US electoral process. The results of their work are presented in this essential book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Electoral Reform Imperative \u003cem\u003ethe Editors.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBallot Structures \u003cem\u003eE.B.
