  • Absent Voting, the Help America Vote Act of 2002, and the American Overseas Voter: an Analysis of Policy Effectiveness and Political Participation
    Absent Voting, the Help America Vote Act of 2002, and the American Overseas Voter: An Analysis of Policy Effectiveness and Political Participation. Submitted by: Judith Murray Department of Politics School of Geography, Politics and Sociology Newcastle University For the Qualification of: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) November 2012 i Abstract The 2000 Presidential Election demonstrated that the rules that dictate the conduct of elections are fundamental in legitimating electoral processes and outcomes. For the United States, these election rules extend beyond borders, impacting millions of Americans resident overseas. Following the 2000 Election, a number of policy initiatives directed at improving the voting process for American overseas voters were undertaken. However the effectiveness of those policies was not clear. This thesis represents the first scholarly study assessing the effectiveness of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) and the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act of 2009 (MOVE). This assessment will show that neither HAVA nor the MOVE Act have improved the electoral participation of American overseas voters. Through a comprehensive review of the historical development of absent voting legislation in the United States, it will be shown that the events of the 2000 Election should not have been surprising to anyone. This historical review will demonstrate that problems associated with ensuring the franchise for absent voters have been recurring and highly political. In this partisan atmosphere, effective solutions to ensure the franchise of American overseas voters have not emerged. The 2000 Presidential Election also highlighted the potential impact of the political activity of Americans resident overseas on political outcomes in the continental United States.

What should a Conservative-led UK Government seek to achieve in the world? The modern world allows for no islands. Unlike any previous moment in the UKs history, it is impossible for a modern nation to escape from the effects of decisions that are made by others on the global stage. It is a consequence of this reality that nations who do not engage with the world and seek to shape it, will be forced to accept the consequences of others decisions. In this new paradigm, British goals abroad must focus on ensuring the preservation of two things above all others: British Liberal & Democratic values, and our partnerships & alliances across the world. Our values define who we are. Support for democracy, liberalism and the principles of enlightenment are under threat globally, whether in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia or the Middle East.
