[EL] nonpartisan election administration

My reaction to Barry’s post was “Wow!” I think over the years I’ve heard more complaints about the GAB than any other state agency. They’ve made numerous decisions that seem overtly political, for example when it changed it’s prior rule to prevent challenger Mark Green from using his congressional campaign funds in his gubernatorial race in 2006, to give just one example. Obviously, people can have different perspectives, but it seems to me that in part shows the problem.
Some years ago I was an official observer for Ecuador’s presidential elections. I recall a day or two before the election attending a candidate’s forum (what we might call a “debate,” really more a joint press conference) including all of the leading candidates. After the debate, the media immediately flocked around … the non-partisan Director of the Electoral Tribunal. That struck me as horribly wrong – but perhaps he was the most important guy in the room.
Of course, maybe that makes sense – past elections had been rocked by charges of fraud. And maybe that just brings into the open what we cover up – the important role of decisions by election officials.
I don’t like the idea of a national election czar (personally, I don’t like the idea of any czars – when did Americans begin to fall for this autocratic garbage?). I’d rather have a decentralized system in which local officials and partisan passions check one another. It can be messier, but it tends to prevent the big mistake. Suppose one party does gain a three quarter majority in the Senate, which the Democrats had in the 74th, 75th, and 76th congresses? Also, people often surprise, how they come out. It’s for that reason that concentrations of power have never appealed to me.
Then there is the Jean-Pierre Kingsley problem. Jean-Pierre Kingsley was for some time the head of Canada’s national elections authority. Everybody loved Kingsley – he was the model of the impartial bureaucrat – except for the people who hated his guts and viewed him as the worst administrator ever of Elections Canada, a guy who would screw the minority conservatives every time, and get away with it because of the Canadian press, which is far more liberal in political orientation than our own. Now, I want to point out, I met Kingsley a few times and liked him, and can’t vouch much one way or the other on his performance in office, but I’ve got no dog in this fight and certainly no reason to believe that Kingsley ever did anything but what he thought the law required. And I’m not saying that there is no objective answer to the question – it’s certainly a distinct possibility that the minority is objectively wrong. But suffice to say that the minority party felt that Kingsley worked hard to keep them in the minority, while pretending to do otherwise to a compliant and credulous press. Is it true? I don’t know. If it is, that’s a problem for the idea of a “non-partisan czar.” If it’s not, that’s still a big problem for the idea of a non-partisan czar, isn’t it?
Then there is the cultural issue. Rick and I have both spent some time with elections officials in Australia. The Aussies put, on a per capita or gdp basis, a MUCH larger amount of money into election administration than we do, and have a very professional Elections Commission that works very hard to remain non-partisan and takes great pride in that. Yet even then, I had employees of the Commission suggesting that that was less true than meets the eye. Moreover, they had built up this attitude over long years. They had, frankly, a different cultural norm there than we have as to trust in the bureaucracy. Still, I suppose one can argue that it does seem to “work.”
That doesn’t make me sure it will work here. I’m a believer in universal principles – broadly, in freedom, in democracy, in capitalism. I think that broadly speaking, they work well for all peoples in all cultures. But that is not to say that there are not cultural differences, and what works in one country may not work in another. Moreover, does it really work? You’ve got your Aussies, but you’ve also got Europe. I’m not much convinced that the Europeans have this democracy thing figured out better than we do. Seems to me we’re looking a lot better than they, in fact. Or we can look at Asia. I’m not convinced that Singapore – with a large bureaucracy that is a model of non-partisan professionalism – is really what we wish to emulate, or could if we wanted.
I’m not sure we have the political culture that would make that work. Again, our Constitution largely rejected that model for one of pitting interest against interest. The model had power during the Progressive era and beyond, but the rise of public choice thinking in the U.S., and the traditional skepticism Americans have of government, reasserted the old norms of distrust of government and of a professional governing class by the late 1970s.
I think that Rick is mixing up cause and effect. The sudden attention on election administration in the U.S., and the sense that it is partisan and not working, is probably due to the generally increased partisanship in American politics. Over the last couple decades, both parties have broken a number of unwritten rules that helped to keep the system working. Any legal or social system needs such generosity of heart, goodwill, and expansiveness of attitude to work.
It used to be you understood that no matter how you got screwed in redistricting, you waited until the next decennial to try to get a better deal. It used to be understood that you didn’t recall an officeholder unless they were guilty of corruption, or in even rarer cases, when they had broken a major and express campaign promise, such as voting for a large tax increase after promising to vote “no” during the campaign. You didn’t fly in lawyers to contest every close race, and you certainly didn’t seek selective recounts in a presidential race, even if you had reason to believe fraud had occurred, unless you had great evidence – even so ethically challenged a politician as Nixon understood that. You didn’t filibuster judges on pure ideological grounds, certainly not in large numbers. It would have been beyond the bounds of decorum for a President to ask his supporters to “get in the faces” of his opponent’s supporters.
I don’t think having supposedly non-partisan election czars is going to solve this, and once you’ve got it solved, I don’t think we’ll much care about or see a need to have supposedly non-partisan election czars.

Subject: Re: [EL] nonpartisan election administration
I want to spotlight how election administration is done in Wisconsin. The Government Accountability Board is a nonpartisan body comprised of six retired judges who selected by the governor from a pool of nominees, which itself is chosen by judges. There are never extended vacancies and I have seen no evidence of partisanship. Members of both major parties have complained about its decisions from time to time -- this tells me that it's working pretty well. See the OSU-Moritz "From Registration to Recounts" reports for more evidence that the model works well. Below is the state law that describes the Board.
Barry Burden
(1) There is created a government accountability board consisting of 6 persons. Members shall serve for 6-year terms.
(2) All members of the board shall be appointed from nominations submitted to the governor by a nominating committee to be called the governmental accountability candidate committee, which shall consist of one court of appeals judge from each of the court of appeals districts. The members of the committee shall serve for 2-year terms expiring on March 1. The court of appeals judges shall be chosen as members by lot by the chief justice of the supreme court in the presence of the other justices of the supreme court. Service on the committee is mandatory except as provided in s. 758.19 (9)<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/758.19(9)>.
(3) Each member of the board shall be an individual who formerly served as a judge of a court of record in this state and who was elected to the position in which he or she served.
(4) No member may hold another office or position that is a state public office or a local public office, as defined in s. 19.42<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/19.42>, except the office of circuit judge or court of appeals judge under s. 753.075<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/753.075>.
(5) No member, for one year immediately prior to the date of nomination may have been, or while serving on the board may become, a member of a political party, an officer or member of a committee in any partisan political club or organization, or an officer or employee of a registrant under s.11.05<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/11.05>.
(6) No member, while serving on the board, may become a candidate, as defined in s. 11.01 (1)<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/11.01(1)>, for state office or local office, as defined in s. 5.02<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/5.02>.
(7) No member, while serving on the board, may make a contribution, as defined in s. 11.01 (6)<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/11.01(6)>, to a candidate, as defined in s. 11.01 (1)<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/11.01(1)> for state office or local office, as defined in s. 5.02<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/5.02>. No individual who serves as a member of the board, for 12 months prior to beginning that service, may have made a contribution, as defined in s. 11.01 (6)<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/11.01(6)>, to a candidate for a partisan state or local office, as defined in s. 5.02<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/5.02>.
(8) No member may be a lobbyist, as defined in s. 13.62 (11)<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/13.62(11)>, or an employee of a principal, as defined in s. 13.62 (12)<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/13.62(12)>, except that a member may serve as a circuit judge or court of appeals judge under s. 753.075<http://docs.legis.wi.gov/document/statutes/753.075>.

Thank you Rick, I have. All you say at the end is that we can trust that the person will be "nonpartisan" if he or she can run the gauntlet of being nominated by the President and confirmed by 2/3rds of the Senate. But there a plenty of partisans that can run that gauntlet, especially when one party or the other has substantial power.
Further, what happens if no person enjoys that level of support so that we have no "election czar" who is confirmed. Do we just cancel the elections because we have no one to run them? No, they will be run by some bureaucrat, not vetted the way you suggest, who could be a wild-eyed partisan. I am afraid that there is no procedural way to accomplish the substantive result you want.
But I thought you could take it a step further -- from theory to practice -- by just naming one person who would fit the bill to be your "election czar." I am afraid I don't know anyone that does and if your suggestion is a practical one then one must exist and you or someone else could tell us who he or she is. Failing that, I am afraid that this is just an unrealistic -- and very dangerous -- fantasy. Jim

It actually works in most other mature democracies quite well.

Isn't this really a fantasy: "Create an independent, nonpartisan agency to run our federal elections."
If the federal agency would be "independent," who would appoint them under our system other than the President. Well, the President is a little partisan. And how therefore would it then be "nonpartisan." And if all elections in every state were run by one federal agency, this federal agency would be the biggest prize to control for partisan ends ever devised.
Why isn't it better to, (1) acknowledge the reality than anyone who bubbles up in the political system to run elections are likely to be partisan, (2) therefore, create lots of checks and balances by involving both parties in election administration so they can watch over each other, and (3) disperse the control of elections as widely as possible - say at the county level. As a result, it is true that there will be Republican control of elections in some counties and Democrat control of election in others, but this will balance out over the whole country.
If we have one federal agency in charge, I am sure the "reformers" will want one person in charge of that agency -- no more "tie" votes like at the FEC. Well this is the biggest partisan prize ever.
Ok, lets test my theory. Name me one, just one living breathing person, not some theoretical or dead person, who would be so "independent" and "nonpartisan" and that the President would nominate and the Senate would confirm who everyone would trust with this awesome power. Just one.

My field is election law, and in this area it’s really easy to come up with a sexy but risky fix that might improve the U.S. Constitution: Abolish<http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/> the Electoral College. Overturn<http://movetoamend.org/> Citizens United and the flood of corporate money in elections<http://hive.slate.com/hive/how-can-we-fix-constitution/article/the-once-and-for-all-solution-to-our-campaign-finance-problems>.

I have a change that will sound less sexy but is more needed than all of them: Create an independent, nonpartisan agency to run our federal elections.
The United States is one of the few mature democracies that leaves the rules for counting elections in local hands, and, in a majority of states, that means partisan officials are in charge. Think about it: We have people running our elections whose ultimate allegiance is not to the integrity of the vote count but to the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.
So when Florida’s Republican Gov. Rick Scott defends<http://www.theledger.com/article/20120606/POLITICS/120609606/1004/news?p=1&tc=pghttp://www.theledger.com/article/20120606/POLITICS/120609606/1004/news?p=1&tc=pg> his latest purge of voters as necessary to keep illegal voters from voting, why should we believe<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=35134> he is doing this in the best interest of the integrity of the elections rather than to give Romney and edge over Obama in the perennial swing state? And when Obama’s Justice Department objects to the purge, why should we believe<http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/301900/who-may-vote-florida-hans-von-spakovsky> it is acting to preserve voter access to the polls rather than trying to give that edge<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/us/florida-vows-to-continue-its-search-for-ineligible-voters.html?ref=politicshttp://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/us/florida-vows-to-continue-its-search-for-ineligible-voters.html?ref=politics> to Obama?
As I document<http://thevotingwars.com/> in my upcoming book, The Voting Wars: From Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0300182031/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=slatmaga-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0300182031>, the fights over election rules, especially over controversial new voter identification rules, have gotten much worse since Bush v.
