When Money Cannot Encourage Participation: Campaign Spending and Rolloff in Low Visibility Judicial Elections
Conditions for Competition in Low-Information Judicial Elections: The Case of Intermediate Appellate Court Elections
Although much work has examined the conditions for competition and incumbent defeat in high-visibility elections, scholars have conducted little research on these conditions for less visible offices. We look at one particular type of low-information election: those to state intermediate appellate courts (IAC). Using a comprehensive data set of all IAC elections involving incumbents from 2000 to 2007, we estimate models of challenger entry and inc…
Voter Rolloff in a Low-Information Context: Evidence From Intermediate Appellate Court Elections
Hall notes that ballot rolloff in supreme court races is substantial but not random. Various institutional, election-specific, state, and district-level contextual forces lead rolloff to increase in some cases and decrease in others. However, it is not clear that Hall's findings apply to lower-level judicial elections because of the low-information environment in which those elections occur. Analyzing rolloff in 755 intermediate appellate court (…
Women Running for Judge: The Impact of Sex on Candidate Success in State Intermediate Appellate Court Elections
Objective. This article will examine whether candidate sex impacts electoral outcomes in judicial elections. Methods. We examine the success of male and female candidates in contested, nonretention elections for state intermediate appellate courts (IACs) from 2000–2006 using OLS and logistic regression analysis. Results. We find that there is no systematic bias against women candidates in IAC races over this period. In fact, there is some evidenc…
Paying the Price for a Seat on the Bench: Campaign Spending in Contested State Intermediate Appellate Court Elections
The subject of judicial elections has garnered an increasing amount of attention by scholars over the past decade. Campaign spending in judicial elections has occupied a central focus of this research, but most of this scholarship has examined campaign finance at the state supreme court level. Our study departs from that tradition by examining what factors predict campaign expenditures in 172 contested state intermediate appellate court (IAC) rac…

A New Look at the Republican Advantage in Nonpartisan Elections
Conventional wisdom has long held that Republicans are advantaged when partisan labels are removed from the ballot. However, in this article, the authors argue that the advantage gained from nonpartisan elections favors the minority party because the low-cost partisan cue is hidden from voters who otherwise would be inclined to support majority party candidates. The authors test this hypothesis using aggregate-level data from state legislative ra…
Do Absentee Voters Differ from Polling Place Voters: New Evidence from California
In the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election 2,775,785 absentee ballots were cast, representing about 30 percent of all voters statewide. Given the number of absentee ballots and the increasing propensity for voters in California and elsewhere to choose this voting method, we some basic questions: Who are absentee voters, and are they different from polling place voters? To answer these questions, we fielded a statewide survey of absentee…

Service‐learning is an approach to experiential education where students apply knowledge and skills that they learn in the classroom by providing needed service to the larger community in which they live. One goal of service‐learning programs is to develop citizens who are engaged and involved in the political process. This paper examines the effects that service‐learning programs have on students' political participation. The data we use come fr…

A New Message: Compassionate Conservatism, African Americans, and the Republican Party
In 1997 and 1998, several Republican gubernatorial candidates in the South put forth a new message of “compassionate conservatism” on the campaign trail. This paper examines two of those campaigns in great detail by using interviews with political actors and analysis, content analysis of the states newspapers, and exit poll data. I show how two Republicans have attempted to win Black support: by building a relationship of trust in the Black commu…
Building Citizenship: How Student Voice in Service‐Learning Develops Civic Values
Objective . Though many decry the decline in political participation and interest, few academic studies present a clear approach to help reverse these trends. This paper examines the impact of service‐learning programs on students' self‐concept, political engagement, and attitudes toward out‐groups. Methods . The data come from a pre and post survey given to more than 200 high school students in 10 different schools. We use Huber regression to as…
Tearns Without Uniforms: The Nonpartisan Ballot in State and Local Elections
The use of a nonpartisan ballot was one of the many Progressive reforms introduced around the turn of the century that is still heavily used today. The intent of the change to a nonpartisan format was, and still is, to remove party cues from a voter's decision, thereby causing the voter to seek out other information about a candidate. This study seeks to examine the effects of nonpartisan elections on patterns of voter decisionmaking. We examine …
