Reading this from Australia I am stunned that the USA appears to have nothing like the Australian Electoral Commission. I stand open to correction here and would be grateful for any information to the contrary.
Given that you have a political cycle at Federal Level of elections every 2 years for the House and Presidential/HouselSenate every 4 years plus the need for elections to replace casual vacancies AND then a similar cycle for all elections at State and Local Government level, it seems both incredibly inefficient and potentially fraudulent to not have an independent body.
I came to the site as I was interested in why a run off for the US Senate seat was needed.
This article and the comments make interesting reading!
The AEC oversee all elections taking place in the Commonwealth of Australia at Federal, State,Territory and Local Government level. It also oversee any compulsory ballots that are enacted under Federal, State or Territory legislation.
