Matthew J. Streb sheds much-needed light on all the major concerns of the electoral process in the thoroughly revised third edition of this timely book on improving American electoral democracy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis critical examination of the rules and institutional arrangements that shape the American electoral process analyzes the major debates that embroil scholars and reformers on subjects ranging from the number of elections we hold and the use of nonpartisan elections, to the presidential nominating process and campaign finance laws. Ultimately, Streb argues for a less burdensome democracy, a democracy in which citizens can participate more easily in transparent, competitive elections. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is designed to get students of elections and American political institutions to think critically about what it means to be democratic, and how democratic the United States really is. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart of the Controversies in Electoral Democracy and Representation series, edited by Matthew J.
