System Structure, Campaign Stimuli, and Voter Falloff in Runoff Primaries
In a model that relies entirely on legal and structural factors, Wright (1989) seeks to account for changes in voter participation from the initial primary to the runoff. This article tests an alternative, campaign-centered model of voter turnout in 109 congressional runoffs from 1982 through 1996. The analysis indicates that candidate-centered factors, including the amount of money expended by the candidates in the runoff and the political exper…
The Future of Us All
Municipal Electoral Structure and the Election of Councilwomen
A survey of the 946 American cities having populations in excess of 25,000 in 1980 reveals very little relationship between election structures and the presence of women on their councils. These results hold for the full data set as well as for four regional subsets. The evidence does not sustain the desirability hypothesis that suggests women will less often be elected in cities where the position is more valued. Women serve somewhat more freque…
Black Success in Local Runoff Elections
To determine if the majority vote requirement disadvantages blacks, a set of runoffs for county offices is analyzed. For the period 1970-1984, blacks who led in the initial primary but faced a white in the runoff were less successful than were white primary frontrunners who faced another white in the runoff. Since 1977, however, black primary frontrunners do about as well as whites. The magnitude of the difference in the share of the vote polled …
Staggered Terms and Black Representation
Courts, the Justice Department, and civil rights groups have charged that staggered terms dilute minority political influence. This assertion is examined in the dual contexts of state senates and city councils. Neither bivariate nor multivariate analyses find use of overlapping terms to be associated with less representation of blacks in senates or southern municipalities. The percent black in the polity translates into black representation at ab…
Runoff Elections in Georgia
Runoff elections have received little scholarly attention. This paper begins to fill this void by exploring the accuracy of three popular myths concerning the impact of runoffs. The "leader loses" myth states that the primary leader usually loses the runoff. The "incumbent loses" myth warns that if an incumbent is forced into a runoff, the challenger will win the nomination. The "minority disadvantage" myth is a special case of the leader loses m…
