THE 2000 ELECTION BECOMES A TREND

France, Mike & Wollert, Lorraine (2004) “one man, one vote, two lawyers” BUSINESS WEEK 10/25 P. 43

If an election is close to 1 or 2% expect an army of lawyers on both sides to contest the election and demand a recount.

However, if all over the country, we move to straight electronic voting. Both sides can demand a costly revote.

All of this undermines elections because more and more believe that the election is fixed.
