10 Steps to Repair American Democracy, 2nd edition, outlines problems with American elections and proposes specific reforms to reinvigorate them. Citing low participation rates among voters and other negative consequences of our current system, Hill calls for Senate and court reforms, innovative redistricting, nonpartisan election administration, instant runoffs, the abolition of the Electoral College, free airtime for candidates, and other measures to reenergize and restore confidence in American elections. Maintaining that conservative efforts to malign government have diminished public confidence in our political institutions, he also proposes a campaign to promote effective government efforts on the public's behalf.
