  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

  • SENATORS of the UNITED STATES 1789–Present
    SENATORS OF THE UNITED STATES 1789–present A chronological list of senators since the First Congress in 1789 Administrations come and go, Houses assemble and disperse, Senators change, but the Senate is always there in the Capitol, and always organized, with an existence unbroken since 1789. Henry Cabot Lodge, 1903. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge stands among the most astute of the Senate’s 20th-century observer- participants. In the quotation noted above, he captures the fundamental continuity of this singular legislative body. On September 30, 1788, Pennsylvania became the first state to elect its United States senators. Since that distant election of William Maclay and Robert Morris, the states of this nation have similarly honored nearly 2,000 Americans. As Senator Lodge suggests, the most recently elected member shares a direct kinship with the entire line back to Senators Maclay and Morris. This publication is intended to remind current senators of that lineage by listing all members in the order in which they arrived. Each senator has been assigned a number to reflect his or her rank at the time of initial election. Up-to-date biographical information for all of these senators is available at http://bioguide.congress.gov. SENATORS' ORDER OF SERVICE From 1789 to 1958, senators whose terms began on the same day are listed alphabetically. Beginning in 1959, senators are listed according to commencement of first Senate term by order of service, determined by former service in order as senator, vice president, House member, cabinet secretary, governor, and then by state population. This latter system for calculating order of service has been used by the modern Senate for many years for the purposes of office assignment.

  • The Supreme Court V. the American People
    Book Review Overruling Democracy: The Supreme Court v. The American People By Jamin B. Raskin. New York: Taylor and Francis Books, Inc., 2003. BRIAN P. MARRON I. INTRODUCTION In Overruling Democracy, Professor Jamin Raskin discusses how the Supreme Court has failed to enforce basic political rights by subordinating democratic principles inherent in the Constitution.1 The Court tolerates the usurpation of popular sovereignty through the manipulation of the electoral process. The Court also fails to protect the functioning of democratic principles in our everyday lives in cases dealing with schools and corporations. Throughout the book, Raskin offers several solutions to the democracy deficit, including several proposed constitutional amendments to clearly enshrine democratic rights. However, the issues are presented in such a manner that may undermine the book’s effectiveness as a tool for building support for a democracy reform movement. II. MANIPULATION OF THE ELECTORAL PROCESS A. Bush v. Gore’s Twister Take on Democracy Raskin begins with a discussion of Bush v. Gore as a recent and blatant example of the Court’s (mainly the conservative justices’) hostility to democratic principles. He states that “the Court’s decision expressed perfectly its paramount commitment to the political rights of conservative majority-white factions in each state, its hostility to potential electoral majorities comprised of African Americans and Hispanics, its perplexing eagerness to show favoritism towards certain political parties over others, and its readiness in the crunch to substitute 1 JAMIN B.
