Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: I present an analytical model that challenges the assumptions underlying recent legislative activism that has created what I describe as an excessive system of protection against voter fraud. The data set includes all 3,858 state representative contests in 38 states in the general elections of 2006. Partisan control of state legislatures yields one of the most valued prizes in politics: the ability to re-district both the state legislature itself and the U.S. House of Representatives. This model shows that in order fraudulently to elect a single member of a state house of representatives there must be both an elaborate conspiracy and a deep trough of corruption. I argue that it is essentially impossible to create such a conspiracy or to manipulate such a thoroughly corrupt system in the dozens of precincts necessary to create a winning majority for a single house member.
