corruption and democratic elections  

Definition(s)

  • CORRUPTION IS A constant threat to the democratic process. It can undermine elections by changing the goal from voting for a particular candidate because of their policy proposals, to voting for a candidate because of the prospect of patronage jobs that will become available, as happened with city machines. [Source: Encyclopedia of U.S. Campaigns, Elections, and Electoral Behavior; Corruption and Democratic Elections]
