In this book, leading and emerging election scholars document the steps that state and local election officials took to augment their elections during the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of these changes. Written for academics, practitioners, and election laypeople, this book details what went right, what went wrong, and what we can learn from the 2020 US presidential election. The 2020 election cycle was unique in American history. Held during the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts were made at the federal, state, and local levels to ensure voters could safely access elections. These changes included providing greater access to mail/absentee voting, installing ballot drop boxes, outfitting polling places with protective equipment, and much more. Many of these changes were politicized, with Republicans and Democrats viewing these changes differently. Contributing authors address how states and localities altered their elections in light of the pandemic; poll worker motivation for working during a health crisis, and how the changes to elections were viewed by election officials; the effects of these changes on whether a citizen decided to cast a ballot, how they voted, and who they voted for; how these changes influenced evaluations of elections, how long voters waited to cast a ballot, and their confidence in the outcome of the election; and, finally, what we can learn about election administration, access, and evaluations from this historic election.
Dr. Peter Marshall was a brilliant scientist at Cambridge University who made a startling scientific breakthrough which potentially could change England's economy and her role on the world stage. The discovery came just before Peter suffered a major tragedy and went off the rails, a trajectory resulting in him being sentenced to prison. After his release, Peter disappeared from society, turning his back on family, friends and career to vanish into obscurity and anonymity. Peter acquired lethal skills in prison and used them to stop an ugly situation from becoming serious, causing him to leave London to avoid any complications. After leaving London, Peter's skills again came into play and completely changed his aimless existence and transformed his life. A former Cambridge colleague, Dr. George Martin, tried without success to unravel the mystery of Peter's breakthrough despite millions in Government funding. When senior civil servants learned of Dr. Martin's failure, they realized this could result in the immense waste of Government money and the ruin of several careers. To avoid disaster, The Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police, was called in to find the missing scientist, a decision that aroused the interest of a nosy newspaper reporter. Dogged determination by Special Branch and the reporter found the elusive Dr. Marshall in a small village at the same time as fickle fate started to drag him back into scientific research. This book has memorable characters, sudden action and the rehabilitation of a societal reject through love, happenstance and the persistence of people who changed the life of the discoverer of The Marshall Effect.
