From Confidence to Convenience
A growing body of research indicates that voters’ perceptions of the electoral system change when the means of administering elections change. As some electoral jurisdictions have moved to systems designed to increase voter convenience, little is known about whether convenience is achieved at the expense of confidence. Utah’s rollout of Vote by Mail (VBM) occurred county by county across five federal elections, and the three most populous countie…
Moral Individualism in Modern Politics
We reexamine the concept of individualism and its political implications. While both political scientists and social psychologists agree that individualism is a core value for many Americans, political science has primarily associated the concept with views about economic mobility. Building upon insights from political theory, we argue that a narrow focus on economics overlooks key elements of individualism and its relation to political life. Wit…
Who's In and Who's Out
What are the boundaries for discussing a candidate's religion? In the 2008 and the 2012 presidential campaigns, the religious beliefs and practices of at least one of the candidates became a subject of intense scrutiny from the media and the public. To ascertain the limits of social discourse for religious out-group, we conducted a survey experiment on the 2012 CCES survey. We find strong evidence that norms of social discourse do not apply to al…
Online Polls and Registration-Based Sampling
This article outlines a new method for surveys to study elections and voter attitudes. Pre-election surveys often suffer from an inability to identify and survey the likely electorate for the upcoming election. We propose a new and inexpensive method to conduct representative surveys of the electorate. We demonstrate the performance of our method in producing a representative sample of the future electorate that can be used to study campaign dyna…
Exceeding Expectations? Determinants of Satisfaction with the Voting Process in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election
The 2000 U.S. presidential election resulted in states introducing new voting systems and election administration procedures. The election also raised concerns that poor experiences at the polls would produce lower levels of confidence in the electoral process or lower turnout. Drawing on theories used in organizational psychology and marketing and using an internet-administered panel survey, we assess the impact of voters' expectations on their …

Tea Time in America? The Impact of the Tea Party Movement on the 2010 Midterm Elections
By winning the presidency and strengthening its majority in both chambers of Congress, the 2008 election gave control of the government to the Democratic Party. However, as the 2010 election season unfolded, the news for the Democratic Party could not have been much worse. Economic conditions had not improved dramatically. A bitter and lengthy fight over health care reform signaled to citizens that little had changed in how Washington, DC, govern…
The Human Dimension of Elections
Voting technologies received considerable scrutiny after the 2000 election. However, the voter—poll worker interaction is also of critical importance. Poll workers exercise discretion and implement policies in ways that directly affect the voting experience. The authors examine the relationship between voters’ perceptions of the poll worker job performance and measures of voter confidence. In an ordered logit model, the perception of poll workers…
At Your Service
The experiences in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 demonstrate that the election process can fall short of voters' expectations. In the wake of reforms, such as the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, scholars have attempted to identify ways in which the objective conditions in polling places shape citizens' experiences and overall confidence in the electoral system. Early studies reveal that poll workers play a major role in the way voters fe…
Poll Workers and the Vitality of Democracy
The aftermath of the 2000 election has been a time of constant learning in regards to election administration in the United States. Both scholars and policy makers initially focused primarily on voting technology and on which voting technologies were best at capturing votes. In early 2001, the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project developed the “residual vote” metric; numerous studies have since examined residual vote rates across different votin…
Elections
The “Stand by Your Ad” (SBYA) provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act requires federal candidates to claim responsibility for their advertising content. Using an experimental survey design to show respondents actual campaign ads with and without the SBYA language, we find that SBYA produces no effect on respondents’ levels of trust in candidates or the ads themselves. However, there is a statistically significant effect on respondents’ co…

Local Political Context and Negative Campaigns
Research into the intended and unintended consequences of negative campaigns has spawned a variety of approaches and a variety of contradictory findings. This paper suggests that some of the contradictions are likely due to methodological issues. First, we examine the use of elite assessment as an improved means of operationalizing the tone of political campaigns. Second, several hypotheses about the mediating effects of local electoral culture a…

Agenda Setting in Congressional Elections
Do issues matter? This article extends recent research on issue voting and campaign agenda-setting to voting decisions in congressional elections. We use a unique data set that includes information from a survey of candidates and campaign aides who competed in the 1998 House elections and a survey of individuals who voted in them. The study assesses the impact of campaign-specific variables on citizens’ voting decisions, while controlling for rel…
Presidential Campaigns
Consultants and Direct Democracy
Proponents of direct legislation maintain that the initiative and popular referendum empower ordinary citizens to set the agenda of politics. Some argue it shifts “ultimate authority from representatives in state legislatures, city councils, and even Congress to the people themselves” (Schmidt 1989, vii). Such elections, so the argument goes, produce greater voter interest in elections and higher voter turnout. Those in favor of the process also …
Public Administration Ethics
Public administration ethics today is dominated by two distinct ethical frameworks: the bureaucratic ethos, which stresses efficiency and strict obedience to elected officials, and the democratic ethos, which stresses adherence to certain higher order moral principles embedded in the notion of democratic government. Both the bureaucratic and democratic ethos are foundational in that each is based on the search for certain universal or quasi-unive…

An Integrated Model of the Data Measurement and Data Generation Processes with an Application to Consumers' Expenditure
An integrated model is defined as one which not only models the data generation process (DGP) but also models the data measurement process (DMP). A natural framework for such an integrated model is the state space approach, with the optimal combination of preliminary vintages of data and predictions from the DGP model being obtained by application of the Kalman filter. We show that substantial reductions in the mean square error of preliminary vi…

The problem still seemed acute in the nineteenth century. For example, the young Charles Darwin, …

The Influenza Epidemic of 1918–19 in the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast (modern Ghana) was severely attacked by the influenza pandemic of 1918–19. The disease was introduced by shipping along the southern coast and overland across the northern frontier. As was true elsewhere on the continent, the spread of influenza was greatly facilitated by the new colonial transportation network. Quarantines and other preventive measures were futile and therapy, African or British, could do no more than alleviate sy…

The Giriama Risings of 1913-1914
The Giriama (or Giryama), one of the Nyika tribes of the coastal region of Kenya, reacted violently in 1913 and 1914 to the sudden establishment of effective colonial rule. Their defensive effort, which has received almost no attention from historians, is an interesting example of primary resistance by a stateless people and its suppression by a colonial regime. The Giriama rising, while hardly a serious threat to the British position in Kenya, d…

Paul B. Du Chaillu and the Exploration of Gabon, 1855-1865
ploration of Africa, but his travels in the Gabon region have received much less attention than the exploits of his more famous contemporaries. In fact, he is most widely known as a gorilla hunter, not as an explorer. This relative neglect is understandable; Du Chaillu's wanderings in the rain forests of equatorial Africa lacked the drama of the Niger quest or the search for the sources of the Nile. Du Chaillu had neither the scholarly powers of …
