Book Synopsis
The 2000 election showed that the mechanics of voting, such as ballot design, can make a critical difference in the accuracy and fairness of U.S. elections. Thompson argues for core democratic principles to underlie the electoral system, for the benefit of the electorate itself.

Trade Review
"With Just Elections, Dennis Thompson sets out to do something timely, needed, and not yet tackled in similar fashion. Using the disputed 2000 presidential election as a catalyst for exploring a broad array of other contested structural issues currently on the political and constitutional agenda, Thompson integrates democratic theory with the nitty-gritty detail of institutional practices and policy issues in a way that not only extols the virtues of situating theory in concrete contexts but actually pulls off the difficult task of doing that in a productive way. Just Elections is a genuine achievement in the application of political theory to specific problems in the legal structuring of democratic practices." - Richard Pildes, New York University School of Law
