Charge The Cockpit Or Die: An Anatomy Of Fear-Driven Political Rhetoric In American Conservatism, Daniel Hostetter
Charge The Cockpit Or Die: An Anatomy Of Fear-Driven Political Rhetoric In American Conservatism, Daniel Hostetter
Senior Honors Theses
Subthreshold negative emotions have superseded conscious reason as the initial and strongest motivators of political behavior. Political neuroscience uses the concepts of negativity bias and terror management theory to explore why fear-driven rhetoric plays such an outsized role in determining human political actions. These mechanisms of human anthropology are explored by competing explanations from biblical and evolutionary scholars who attempt to understand their contribution to human vulnerabilities to fear. When these mechanisms are observed in fear-driven political rhetoric, three common characteristics emerge: exaggerated threat, tribal combat, and religious apocalypse, which provide a new framework for explaining how modern populist leaders …

Age And Ideology: The Emergence Of New Political Cleavages In Thailand’S 2566 (2023) Election, Napon Jatusripitak, Jacob Ricks
Research Collection School of Social Sciences
The Move Forward Party’s victory in Thailand’s 14 May 2566 (2023 CE) election surprised most observers, defying widespread predictions of a Pheu Thai win. Departing from traditional vote-mobilization strategies, Move Forward’s campaign focused largely on social media and broad calls for political reform while eschewing the vote-canvassing networks and economic policy promises that had delivered victory after victory for Pheu Thai. Does Move Forward’s win indicate changes in Thai voting behaviour? Relying on data from an original survey collected the week before and the week after the election, as well as observations from fieldwork, we identify two political cleavages that …
Isn’T There A Better Way To Nominate Presidential Candidates?, Elaine Kamarck
Isn’T There A Better Way To Nominate Presidential Candidates?, Elaine Kamarck
Brookings Scholar Lecture Series
This lecture examines why every four years the major political parties undertake a drawn-out, confusing series of primaries, caucuses, and conventions to determine their presidential nominees. Over the years, a number of rational and more orderly ways to select presidential nominees have been proposed but none of these ideas have been adopted. Brookings Institution scholar Elaine Kamarck, who has written extensively on the topic and served as a presidential and presidential campaign advisor, addresses these topics and more.

Critical Questions
The 2024 election will be an important one for voters across the United States as citizens will cast their ballots to choose who will serve as America’s next president. While many are anticipating a rematch between incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, a long road stands between now, the debate stage, and the ballot box. Before voters cast their ballots in the general election they must first select who will earn the nomination to be on that ballot when the time arrives. While Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution details the procedures for electing …

This November, Ohio voters will decide if the Buckeye State will really stand for life. That’s because there is a constitutional amendment on the ballot that, if approved, will allow abortions to take place up to the birth of the child.
Congressional Meddling In Presidential Elections: Still Unconstitutional After All These Years; A Comment On Sunstein, Gary S. Lawson, Jack M. Beermann
Congressional Meddling In Presidential Elections: Still Unconstitutional After All These Years; A Comment On Sunstein, Gary S. Lawson, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
In a prior article, see Jack Beermann & Gary Lawson, The Electoral Count Mess: The Electoral Count Act of 1887 Is Unconstitutional, and Other Fun Facts (Plus a Few Random Academic Speculations) about Counting Electoral Votes, 16 FIU L. REV. 297 (2022), we argued that much of the 1877 Electoral Count Act unconstitutionally gave Congress a role in counting and certifying electoral votes. In 2022, Congress amended the statute to make it marginally more constitutional in some respects and significantly less constitutional in others. In response to a forthcoming article by Cass Sunstein defending the new Electoral Count …
Ideology And The Incumbency Advantage, Gabe Degraeve
Ideology And The Incumbency Advantage, Gabe Degraeve
Belmont University Research Symposium (BURS)
Incumbents win reelection at a staggering rate (upwards of 75%) the causes of this are well understood and examined. The numerous material benefits (access to a larger staff, fundraising ability, name recognition, etc.) paired with the psychological benefits (scare-off effect, lack of high-quality candidate, etc.) make it very hard for a potential challenger to win in an election against an incumbent. There however has been a decrease in the incumbency advantage over the past several election cycles. Since both the material and psychological benefits are still present, another factor is likely contributing to this decrease. Ideology has become …
Redistricting In Illinois Judicial Elections: A Once In Five Decades Event, Suzanne Schmitz
Redistricting In Illinois Judicial Elections: A Once In Five Decades Event, Suzanne Schmitz
The Simon Review (Occasional Papers of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute)
In 2021, the Illinois General Assembly for the first time in over five decades was successful in redrawing the boundaries of the districts for the election of Illinois Supreme Court and Appellate Court justices (Judicial District Act of 2021; PA 102-0011 (SB0642). Why after more than fifty years? And what is the impact of the changes? This paper explores those questions and provides some answers. It compares Illinois with the practices of other states which also elect their judges through partisan elections. The paper also raises and discusses several issues which remain about the way judicial selection is done in …

White Constituents And Congressional Voting, Eric Hansen
White Constituents And Congressional Voting, Eric Hansen
Political Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Why do some members of Congress vote more on the extremes of their party than others? I argue that lawmakers representing more homogeneously white districts have greater electoral incentive to moderate their voting records, since the two parties compete more for support of white voters than for the support of minority voters. I provide evidence using roll-call votes from the U.S. House and Senate. I find members representing more homogeneously white districts have more moderate voting records, a finding that holds for Democrats and Republicans. I explore two potential mechanisms: legislator responsiveness and electoral punishment. While legislators do not seem …

Quickly End Ny’S Suppressive Ballot Policy, Rachel Landy, Jarrett Berg
Online Publications
Earlier this year, with the 2022 midterm elections looming, New York’s Democratic members of Congress sued their own state Board of Elections in federal court for unconstitutional practices that disqualify ballots cast by duly registered voters. Chief among the alleged violations of New Yorkers’ right to vote is the practice of fully disqualifying so-called “wrong church” ballots cast by lost or misdirected voters at poll sites other than the ones to which they are assigned.

Biden, Trump, Durbin, And Taxes: The 2020 Election In Illinois, John Jackson, John Foster
The Simon Review (Occasional Papers of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute)
This paper provides a summary of the 2020 presidential race, both nationally and in Illinois. It also analyzes the U.S. Senate race in Illinois and the referendum on the graduated income tax proposal, which was Governor JB Pritzker’s highest policy priority for that year. The results are placed in the larger context of the deep polarization of America and Illinois. The analysis uses the results of the 1996 presidential election (Clinton vs. Dole) and senatorial election (Durbin vs. Salvi) and the 1998 gubernatorial election (Ryan vs. Poshard) as a baseline to demonstrate the profound geographical realignment of the two parties …

Do Elections Encourage Public Actors To Be More Responsive?, Bryan Mccannon, Corey Williams
Do Elections Encourage Public Actors To Be More Responsive?, Bryan Mccannon, Corey Williams
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
In the U.S. many public services are provided by individuals who are selected in local elections. We ask whether elections encourage public actors to be responsive to citizens. We design a novel field experiment where we send an information request to a random sample of prosecutor offices. Whether someone replies to the request is our measurement of responsiveness. We show that offices whose head is up for re-election are more likely to respond. We also show that offices in states that appoint their local prosecutors are substantially less likely to respond than a matched set of offices with elected leadership.

The Ethics Of Trump's Shadow Lawyers?, Peter A. Joy, Kevin C. Mcmunigal
Scholarship@WashULaw
The barrage of over sixty failed lawsuits filed by lawyers representing former President Donald Trump and his allies seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election brought forth numerous calls to sanction these lawyers. So far, Rule 11 and disciplinary sanctions have reached one of the most public of the pro-Trump lawyers, Rudolph Giuliani, as well as some of the lawyers who filed and put their names on the complaints initiating the frivolous cases. This Essay discusses the need to impose sanctions on the lawyers behind the scenes—who directed and coordinated the bogus cases—but so far have largely evaded accountability.The authors …

Transition Administration, Michael Herz, Katherine A. Shaw
Articles
The period from November 3, 2020 to January 20, 2021, was unlike any presidential transition in our history. President Donald Trump refused to accept his ballot-box defeat, instead battling to overturn the election’s outcome. This dramatic public campaign was waged in state and federal courts, state legislatures, the offices of state and local election officials, the Department of Justice, and finally the halls of Congress, where on January 6, 2021, a mob incited by the President stormed the Capitol with the explicit goal of preventing the final counting of electoral votes for Joe Biden. These efforts had more mundane and …
Educational Attainment And Social Norms Of Voting, Eric Hansen, Andrew Tyner
Educational Attainment And Social Norms Of Voting, Eric Hansen, Andrew Tyner
Political Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Why does the likelihood of voting increase with education in the U.S.? Prominent theories attribute education’s effect to human capital, which affords individuals resources needed to participate, but neglect social motivations. We test a theory of internalized social norms as another contributing factor, providing evidence in three studies. First, we show that highly educated people are more likely to view voting as a civic duty, and that civic duty partially mediates the effect of education on voting. Second, we show education is associated with a higher likelihood of overreporting voting in the 2016 election. Third, we show that educated respondents …
Impact Of New York’S “Wrong Church” Ballot Disqualification Rule In The 2020 General Election, Rachel Landy, Jarret Berg
Impact Of New York’S “Wrong Church” Ballot Disqualification Rule In The 2020 General Election, Rachel Landy, Jarret Berg
Online Publications
In 2020, more than 13,800 New York voters, eager to cast their ballots in the General Election, walked into a polling place and presented themselves to poll workers, who were unable to locate those voters in the poll book, even though they were registered. Poll workers directed them to vote provisionally by affidavit ballot and each did so. However, as officials determined several days later, these voters had all turned out and cast a ballot at a poll site in their county that was different from the one assigned to them, a fatal technical pitfall under New York’s election law. …

Domestic And Foreign Policy Priorities Of Maine Voters, Caitlyn Rooms
Domestic And Foreign Policy Priorities Of Maine Voters, Caitlyn Rooms
Honors College
Understanding the political priorities of a population is key to unravelling the ways that people engage in local, state, and national politics. National polling organizations do studies in every election cycle on the domestic priorities of national voters, and every few years on the foreign policy priorities of the American public. These polls help academics and policymakers understand the motivations of the American populace and help to guide the public narrative surrounding contentious issues. Polls like this are, however, rare at the state level. This study aims to fill that gap for the state of Maine, providing state-level data on …

Election And Israel: Following Paul’S Thought Through Romans 9-11, Colton Lee
Election And Israel: Following Paul’S Thought Through Romans 9-11, Colton Lee
Senior Honors Theses
Paul’s dealings with Israel in Romans 9-11 have long been viewed as some of the most theologically controversial teachings in the New Testament. Throughout these three critical chapters located in the middle of his greatest theological treatise, Paul teaches both on the doctrine of individual election and on the future of ethnic Israel. In this paper, the text will be approached using the discipline of biblical theology with the hope of interpreting the text using a literal hermeneutic with the whole of Scripture in mind. The doctrine of unconditional individual election will be affirmed by this research, and both a …
