He has observed and analyzed elections for the U.S. Government, and, in his capacity as the director of the Elections Research Center of the privately operated Governmental Affairs Institute, in a clutch of other countries, including Russia, Israel and the Dominican Republic. He has served as a senior consultant to the Lou Harris Poll (1959-61), is now chairman of the Select Committee on Western Hemisphere Immigration, a senior research consultant to the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, and wheelhorse of NBC's nonstaff election consultants.
