"With Just Elections, Dennis Thompson sets out to do something timely, needed, and not yet tackled in similar fashion. Using the disputed 2000 presidential election as a catalyst for exploring a broad array of other contested structural issues currently on the political and constitutional agenda, Thompson integrates democratic theory with the nitty-gritty detail of institutional practices and policy issues in a way that not only extols the virtues of situating theory in concrete contexts but actually pulls off the difficult task of doing that in a productive way. Just Elections is a genuine achievement in the application of political theory to specific problems in the legal structuring of democratic practices." - Richard Pildes, New York University School of Law
