Synopsis
Arguing that cynicism and apathy could not prevail without plenty of help from America's corrupt and impractical institutions, Hill, a long time advocate of systematic reform, diagnoses the major problems with US government and the media., Fixing Elections shows our whole 18th-century Winner Take All political system, including the way we elect our legislatures. Steven Hill argues our geographic-based, Winner Take All political system is at the root of many of our worst political problems, including poor minority and majority representation, low voter turnout, expensive mudslinging campaigns, congressional gridlock, regional balkanization, and the growing divide between city-dwellers and middle-America.
