Rethinking the First Party Era: Middle Atlantic US House Elections, 1796–1824
Political scientists have long accepted the “party eras” delineation of American political history. In this, the first party era (1789–1824) is characterized as a proto-democratic period lacking the party development and mass electoral engagement necessary to produce recognizably modern electoral democracy. This study uses newly available constituency-level House of Representatives election returns from the Middle Atlantic region to challenge thi…
Congressional nominations and party emergence, 1788–1808
Objective We study the development of nomination procedures for congressional elections by the Democratic‐Republican and Federalist parties in the first party era (1788–1808). Methods Our study rests on primary source evidence from congressional elections contested in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Results We demonstrate that in these states, party nominations drew popular involvement, a wide pool of potential nominee…
Party-System Extremism in Majoritarian and Proportional Electoral Systems
This study evaluates the extent of party-system extremism in thirty-one electoral democracies as a function of electoral-system proportionality. It uses data from the Comparative Studies of Electoral Systems project to estimate the extent of party-system compactness or dispersion across polities and to determine whether more proportional systems foster greater ideological divergence among parties. Electoral system characteristics most associated …

Representation in Congressional Campaigns: Evidence for Discounting/Directional Voting in U.S. Senate Elections
Several recent studies suggest that voters may prefer candidates who propose policies that are similar to, but more extreme than, the voters' sincere policy preferences. This may arise either because voters vote directionally based on the direction and intensity of candidates' proposals or, alternatively, because voters recognize that elected officials face obstacles to implementing their policy agenda and therefore discount the candidates' polic…
