The 2001 Elections in New York City Ronald Hayduk, The Century Foundation, 10/15/2002 Download in PDF format The controversial 2000 election in Florida exposed flaws in election processes across the country and raised troubling questions about our democracy. Exposing the underbelly of election practices in the United States gave democracy reformers an opportunity to press for changes in election systems across the country. In New York, voting rights and civic organizations took advantage of this opening and successfully won several sorely needed improvements to New York City’s election administration. Thankfully, these changes facilitated smoother functioning elections in 2001. Yet unfortunately, many problems continue to plague New York City’s Board of Elections—and its voters. This report tells that story. Edition: Online/Paper    ISBN: rh-101502    Pages: 132    Price: Free Ordering Information: The Century Foundation
