In this book, author Dr. Garvin Karunaratne examines the administrative bungling which enabled George W. Bush to clinch a victory in the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election. Karunaratne explores the debacle in Florida, where a winner was announced before all ballots had been counted. Faulty and confusing ballot design, incomplete voter registration, counting of votes by outmoded and erratic voting machines, the inefficiency of the administration of the election at the County and the State level, and harassment of voters at the hands of police, are some of the aspects analyzed in detail.
Garvin Karunaratne, a former elections administrator, is an international consultant, researcher and writer as well as Director of the Center for Global Poverty Alleviation, London, United Kingdom. He holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State University.
