The coming election and mischief in the making | Eric Sondermann (opens the original)
Read excerpt
America’s tribalism is such these days that we struggle to even agree on the basic rules. Elections have always been hotly contested. As the saying goes, “Politics ain’t beanbag.” The process has long involved elements of nastiness and underhanded conduct. Still, we used to be able to take some things for granted. We had a baseline of trust in election officials. We had confidence in the vote count. Losers accepted the outcome, most often with grace. Those times were hardly innocent, but they se
Colorado elections offer an all-you-can-eat political buffet | Eric Sondermann (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We find ourselves in the doldrums of August with a complete dearth of political news. Yeah, right. These days, that train never stops moving. It is a 24/7/365 express amplified by 24/7/365 media.

With the primary election season now h

Read excerpt
It is the scandal for which all other scandals are now named. In June 1972, a small group of Cuban burglars with high-level connections broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. Those headquarters were located in the Watergate complex of offices, residences, and a hotel. Hence, the name of the scandal that dominated American politics for years. Out of that grew an endless list of cases of stupidity or illegality or sometimes just bad form, all carrying the suffix of “gate
Ending polarization begins with election reform | Eric Sondermann (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In its current state, the American political system has no end of ailments. Far too many factors accelerate polarization and work against moderation and narrowing the differences. Media and the way so many citizens limit themselves to agreeable, reinforcing sources only dial up division. Congress has become performative and is essentially crippled in carrying out its legislative, budgetary and oversight roles as laid out in Article I of the Constitution. The political money machine is cancerous
