[EL] Why centralize?

[Michael McDonald]

A graduate student writing a dissertation on centralized/decentralized
election administration around the world asks a question that perhaps some
on the list can help answer: why have some U.S. states centralized their
election administration and others have not? Tips on any resources would be
appreciated. Feel free to contact me off-list.

Thanks!
