Role of the Supreme Court in Election Operations

Role of the Supreme Court in Election OperationsVoting is an important rite of passage for Americans. Without the participation of the people, the government would fail. This is why it is important to make the voting process as easy and fair as possible. Ballot counting and campaign funding are two areas of election operations in which the courts have ruled on process and fairness issues. For instance, when an election dispute occurs regarding ballot counting, the courts are responsible for ensuring the due process rights of voters, that is, ensuring that all votes are counted. Also, since in many ways money is what gets a candidate elected—via impressive advertisement and the ability to visit several states and communities—the courts also have intervened to determine the fairest course of action in regulating campaign contributions and electoral practices by the states.The McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform Bill in 2002 prohibits all soft money from a political campaign. Soft money is a contribution to a national political party as a whole that somehow finds its way to funding that party’s candidate for president. It can be from corporations, labor unions, or wealthy individuals. Hard money is a contribution directly to the candidate’s campaign that is regulated through the Federal Elections Commission and that includes the name of the contributor and the amount donated. Since soft money contributions are not intended for a specific candidate, the money is not regulated and persists as an unchecked source of money.To prepare for this assignment:Review the case summary of Bush v. Gore in your course text, Landmark Supreme Court Cases: The Most Influential Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the full case located in the LexisNexis Academic database.

Using the papers you have written throughout this course, consolidate your findings into a succinct project. At a minimum, your project should include:1. Identify the topical area (e.g. local police department, community jail, border patrol)2. Define a problem or challenge within your topical area that you understand in some depth or have an interest in (examples include high crime rate, poor morale, high levels of violence or recidivism, high number of civilian complaints of harassment, inadequate equipment). Outline the context of the problem or challenge, including the history and any policy decisions that have contributed to the situation.3. How have internal or external stakeholders influenced the situation in a positive or negative way? How will you consider stakeholders in your solution to the problem? How will you motivate individuals to buy into your solution?4.

Cultural, Ethical, and Other Considerations Impacting Research Efforts

Charles Draper, Centervale’s Chief of Police, must introduce policies that positively impact the control and management of illegal immigration in his city. He is without the knowledge base needed to develop policy and has turned to you for assistance with research in one of the following areas:Surveillance techniques: Chief Draper is aware of many surveillance techniques that can be utilized in tracking and controlling illegal immigrants in his city. The Chief would like information regarding the most successful surveillance techniques as demonstrated in published research. Specifically, you are to research and address, but are not limited to, the following surveillance technique examples: vehicle tracking, cell phone, e-mail, background checks, and computer and surveillance techniques.Crime mapping: Chief Draper knows that many law enforcement agencies use crime-data mapping generated from within their own communities to allocate resources, as indicated by the data. In particular, the Chief would like to know how the data are generated and then how the data are applied to police tactics. Your research should include but is not limited to the following crime mapping areas: geographic information systems, census demographics, geographical profiles, and community and other crime mapping techniques.Staffing needs: Draper believes that the problems associated with illegal immigration require quick response times, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He’s not sure that his staff is properly allocated for optimal response times. What types of research data and studies can the Chief consult? Where can he find the best resources to support the various shift and staffing patterns if and when the Chief decides to reallocate his staff? Specifically, you are to explore asset mapping which is a technique for determining what assets (human, organizational and fiscal) are available in the police department to address the key issue of illegal immigration used to provide the background information needed to conduct the staffing review and suggest appropriate changes to the existing policy.Here’s What You Need To Do . . .You are to specifically cite and reference the various resources available to address these critical areas so that the Chief has the appropriate research to make policy recommendations based on what you have presented.In reference to this assignment, please be as comprehensive as possible in analyzing, evaluating and presenting your objective findings that potentially will have current and future policy implications. Your interpretation should be based on the findings, as well as, evaluating the current situation and applying research findings to support and/or reject the Chief’s request for information in these respective critical areas.Based on the media-based research data matrix you created in Module 2, select one of the research areas identified above and prepare a 5–6 page memo to Chief Draper that addresses the Chief’s concerns. In your memo you must:Recommend research approaches or options that could fulfill the Chief’s information needs.Provide a comparison of the two types of research designs that seem most appropriate for the Chief’s information needs supported by data from your media-based research data matrix.Recommend good/reliable data sources.Given the sensitive and possible controversial nature of the policy, provide advice on cultural, ethical, or other considerations that could impact research efforts and results. The following databases are available to support your research.American Academy of Forensic SciencesInternational Association for IdentificationLaw Enforcement National Data ExchangeNational Criminal Justice Reference ServiceNational Institute of Justice   This assignment is worth 200 pointsunderstand the expectations.Assignment 2 Grading CriteriaMaximum PointsIdentify and describe the available research approaches and data sources.12Recommend research approaches and data sources that were appropriate to the Chief’s information needs.24Provide an effective rationale for the recommended research approaches and data sources.24Select two research designs for the task.16Compare the two research designs for the task.24Identify the cultural, ethical, or other considerations that may impact research efforts.12Evaluate the cultural, ethical, or other considerations that may impact research efforts.24Writing components.64Total:200
