Description
A Republic If You Can Afford It investigates the often-overlooked fiscal dimensions of election administration in America. The authors analyze how budget constraints shape electoral processes, from voting infrastructure to poll worker compensation and voter accessibility services.
The book addresses critical questions about resource allocation, equity in election administration, and the relationship between funding levels and election outcomes. It draws on empirical research to demonstrate how financial disparities between wealthy and under-resourced jurisdictions create inconsistencies in voting experiences and administrative quality.
Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Elements in Campaigns and Elections series, this work provides policymakers, election officials, and scholars with evidence-based insights into the true costs of democratic participation and the potential consequences of under-funding election infrastructure.
