  • Why Unions Attacked the Single Transferable Vote in Cincinnati∗
    Bad for Party Discipline: Why Unions Attacked the Single Transferable Vote in Cincinnati∗ Jack Santucci [email protected] This version: June 28, 2017 Original: July 22, 2015 The years around World War I brought major political changes to advanced industrial democracies. New demands led to rapid extensions of voting rights, mass defections to labor- based parties, and the adoption of proportional representation (PR) voting schemes.1 The last of these is the most important cause of a multi-party system.2 Roughly speaking, if a party gets ten percent of votes, it gets ten percent of legislative seats. Political scientists have long observed that social democracy thrives under PR.3 Oftentimes, as in Australia, Germany, and Switzerland, local PR experiments predated a national adoption.4 The United States was not immune to the global changes in party systems. Women won the vote in 1920, officially doubling electorates in states that had not yet granted voting rights.5 Third-party presidential runs in 1912 and 1924 shook the Republican Party in the Mountain States and American Midwest. This intra-party fighting continued in cities where reformers rewrote voting rules to eject the old-style parties from power.6 From 1915-48, in fact, the chosen reform in 24 cities was proportional representation. ∗Jasmine Underwood provided research assistance. Bill Collins, Jack Lucas, Colin Moore, Hans Noel, Rob Richie, and Kent Weaver gave helpful feedback on earlier drafts. Bill Gradison gave important insight into local history. 1 Compared to PR systems in

  • Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The
    PRAIRIE FIRES: URBAN REBELLIONS AS BLACK WORKING CLASS POLITICS IN THREE MIDWESTERN CITIES BY ASHLEY M. HOWARD DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Sundiata K. Cha-Jua, Chair Professor James R. Barrett Professor Cheryl Greenberg, Trinity College Associate Professor Clarence Lang, University of Kansas ii ABSTRACT This study investigates the social, economic and political upheavals caused by the urban rebellions of the 1960s. Using Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Omaha, Nebraska as case studies, this dissertation argues that the uprisings were historically informed acts of resistance, which demonstrated a Midwestern, gendered, and working-class character. Prairie Fires registers the significant impact the rebellions had not only in transforming the consciousness of African Americans but also in altering the relationship between Blacks, urban communities, and the State as well as highlighting class fractures within Black politics. This interpretative lens validates the black urban rebellions not only as legitimate responses to oppression, but part of an American tradition of working class insurrection. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank my parents, Hilary and Jeanne Howard. They have always encouraged me to seek knowledge and change the world, for that I am forever indebted. I also thank my sister Gianna, whose frequent phone calls about pop culture, social issues, and what she had for lunch, jolted me from the tedium I often became mired in. My partner Christopher, has contributed incredible insight and supported me in every possible way through this process.

  • Irreconcilable Policy Demands and the Repeal of Proportional Representation in Cincinnati
    Irreconcilable Policy Demands and the Repeal of Proportional Representation in Cincinnati Jack M. Santucci [email protected] July 22, 2015 Abstract Why would politicians make it harder for themselves to win office? By repealing the single transferable vote form of proportional repre- sentation in 1957, Cincinnati politicians did just that. Policy motives appear to have offset office-seeking ones. While both local parties fa- vored an income tax, each did so for different reasons, and the pivotal legislator refused to support the position of either.1 1This is very rough draft #1 of an early work in progress. 1 Exactly why proportional representation went down to defeat in 1957 and not, say, in 1936, 1939, 1947, or 1954 remains unclear. Burnham (1990: 293-4) 1 Introduction Why would a politician make it harder for himself to win office? In 1957, Cincinnati politicians did just that. They replaced the single transferable vote (STV) with at-large, plurality elections. In practice, this meant replac- ing a system in which one needed only ten percent of votes with a rule well known to produce single-party councils (Calabrese 2000, 2007). A revisionist, group-centered model of parties tells us why politicians put themselves at electoral risk. According to Bawn et al. (2012), politicians behave to satisfy the demands of organized, policy-seeking constituencies. Those policy demanders hold politicians to account with resources useful in election campaigns, both as carrot and stick. In the meantime, politicians can exploit voters' low information about policy in order to nudge policies toward the positions of their policy-seeking constituencies.

  • Evidence of a Winning-Cohesion Tradeoff Under Multi-Winner
    Evidence of a Winning-cohesion Tradeoff under Multi-winner Ranked-choice Voting Jack Santucci∗ [email protected] November 17, 2017 Forthcoming in Electoral Studies Abstract New interest in \multi-winner ranked-choice voting" raises old questions about effects on party cohesion. Earlier writers thought this single transferable vote (STV) rule was net-problematic for par- ties. This paper consults the roll-call record in Cincinnati (1929-57) and Worcester, Mass. (1949-60), two of three American STV imple- mentations that produced conventional wisdom. First, I show how party cohesion could be high or low. Then I show how low-cohesion terms followed elections in which candidates campaigned for them- selves over their parties. Finally, I show that parties endorsed such candidates when they needed the votes to expand their seat shares. In sum, the data suggest a strategic environment in which majority- seeking parties reach beyond their traditional bases { potentially at the expense of legislative cohesion. Keywords: ranked-choice voting, single transferable vote, party co- hesion, party change. ∗The author thanks Georgetown University's Massive Data Institute for funding re- quired travel. Hunter Books and Jasmine Underwood helped get and/or enter the data. Carolyn Ford, Paulette Leeper, and Amy Searcy of the Hamilton County Board of Elec- tions provided election returns for Cincinnati. Niko Vangjeli of the Worcester Election Commission found his city's election returns, which Howard Fain in turn had rescued from the attic of Robert Bowditch, Sr. On the paper, Kent Weaver, Matthew Shugart, Hans Noel, and Dan Hopkins gave invaluable feedback. 1 U.S. Representative Don Beyer (D-VA) has introduced legislation to use multi-winner ranked-choice voting for U.S.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyriglited materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Three Articles on Proportional Representation in American Cities (With an Introduction)
    Three Articles on Proportional Representation in American Cities (with an Introduction) A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Jon M. Santucci, M.A. Washington, DC May 15, 2017 Copyright c 2017 by Jon M. Santucci All Rights Reserved ii Three Articles on Proportional Representation in American Cities (with an Introduction) Jon M. Santucci, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Hans C. Noel, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation gives the first quantitative account of the adoption and repeal of proportional representation via the single transferable vote (PR-STV, STV, or PR) in American cities. Who enacted it and why? Who repealed it and why? Did legislative discipline vary with known STV electoral strategies? I find that three groups colluded to enact PR: minority parties, incumbent-party factions that could not win primaries, and, less often, third parties. When the largest of these groups began losing on legislation, it colluded with the largest party to repeal PR. It did so to absorb the smaller parties’ voters. Further, legislative discipline flagged when parties endorsed more than one popular candidate. I give circumstantial evidence that low party discipline resulted from a party’s accumulation of popular incumbents. I draw on two new sets of data. One comprises election and referendum returns in three similar cities that chose different electoral rules. The second comprises 5,127 roll-call votes, 126 unique legislators, 1,011 rounds of STV vote-counting, 1,001 can- didates, and their party affiliations over 25 elections.
