History

The release of documents known as the Pentagon Papers proved that the government had misled the public. The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam raised even more questions about whether the war had been unjustified. Then the Watergate scandal showed that corruption could affect even the nation's top office.

<u>Pentagon Papers :</u>

Papers that contain a history of the U.S. role in Indochina from World War II until May 1968 and that were commissioned in 1967 by U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. They were turned over (without authorization) to The New York Times by Daniel Ellsberg, a senior research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for International Studies.

The 47-volume history, consisting of approximately 3,000 pages of narrative and 4,000 pages of appended documents, took 18 months to complete. Ellsberg, who worked on the project, had been an ardent early supporter of the U.S. role in Indochina but, by the project’s end, had become seriously opposed to U.S. involvement. He felt compelled to reveal the nature of U.S. participation and leaked major portions of the papers to the press.

Who decides the times places and manner for holding elections for congress
Harman [31]

Article I of the US Constitution puts this power in the hands of each State's legislature.

If you are interested in this topic, there is a fascinating development in this occurring in the Second Congressional District of Maine, which has adopted Ranked Choice Voting to determine its representatives. The loser of this year's election just sued in Federal Court to invalidate this as a way to hold an election.
