American civic textbooks teach us that elections work as a tool for citizens to hold office holders accountable. Given our course readings, class discussions, and films on political parties, elections, and voter behavior, do YOU think that contemporary elections work to fulfill this task? If so, how so? If not, why not? In your essay be sure to answer the question in a clearly and precisely worded manner that includes an explanation for your position and identifies what specific aspects of our electoral system you think work or do not work to achieve the goal of helping citizens hold officeholders accountable. In your essay you must make substantive reference to at least 4 course readings.
