Elections: Fooled Again

In partnership with:
Date and time
Wednesday, February 7, 2007

Mark Crispin Miller discusses stealing elections. Why are the elections of 2002 and 2004 a harbinger of the future? What happened in 2006 and what can we learn from that experience? Think the 2006 elections are old news? Think the pendulum is swinging back toward the center and we don't have to worry about a repeat of Florida 2000 or Ohio 2004? Think again, says Mark Crispin Miller, author of the highly acclaimed study of the 2004 elections *Fooled Again*. Control of the House and the Senate did change last November, but the margins were slim enough to call the fairness of the election process into question. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities.
