Abstract
Students and observers of electoral malfeasance in contemporary emerging democracies are often blissfully unaware that electoral corruption was as widespread in the democracies of 19th-century Europe. Resource-endowed politicians facing the highest economic and electoral costs associated with the continued use of an illicit campaign strategy are, therefore, the pivotal legislators enabling electoral reform. Depending on the initial resource distribution and the extent of rising economic and electoral costs, a legislative majority supporting a specific electoral reform emerges if a group of resource-endowed politicians reconsiders the attractiveness of the status quo.
