In 2020, COVID-19 became a global pandemic devastating physical and mental health, social wellbeing, and the economic status of millions globally. Unforgettable images of death and the deep wounds inflicted on the livelihoods of employees and business owners were broadcast daily in the media. Less visible was the political fallout that threatened the rights of countless voters seeking to exercise their democratic rights under exceptional conditions. In the United States, the scourge of the pandemic came during a highly contentious presidential election year, where states were challenged to administer multiple elections in the context of changing public health mandates, critical supply and personnel shortages, and decreased election funding. What lessons can be drawn from this political moment to ensure that future elections continue to be resilient in the face of threatening circumstances? What reforms adopted in COVID-19's midst will remain-for better or worse? Featuring cutting-edge research from top and emerging scholars of election administration, both inside and outside of academia, Pandemic at the Polls is a must-read for elections scholars, administrators, and students of democratic elections.

Recenzii

Across the chapters, the authors consider in detail the complex landscape of election administration, the political environment surrounding the COVID-19 response, and partisan claims about the integrity of the election in the United States to present a comprehensive narrative of election administration in 2020. The text utilizes both a national and subnational approach to discuss these issues, often highlighting the innovative approaches of local election officials, states, and non-profit organizations. The authors carefully consider the lasting consequences of the political and administrative challenges and opportunities that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic for voters, election administration, and democratic governance.
The 2020 election was held under conditions that heavily stressed the American electoral process. This book provides great insights from top scholars about what they've learned from that experience and what lessons might be applied to future elections.
