Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Swing State by Steve Milton Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Swing State by Steve Milton Which Swing States Will Decide the Election? The 2020 presidential race is a seemingly inexhaustible source of emotional turmoil. But how much actual electoral turmoil is going on? The polling has made it clear that most of the contest is not really in doubt: Joe Biden is going to hold onto most of Hillary Clinton’s share of the map from 2016, and Donald Trump is going to hold onto the majority of the states he won. So the Slate Swing State Tracker is here to look at the smaller part of the big picture: How many of the genuinely contested states would each candidate have to win to hit 270 electoral votes, and what does this week’s polling say about their chances? For the purposes of this analysis, we’re assuming there are already 228 electoral votes locked into Biden’s column, and 163 in Trump’s. We’re setting aside the two single electoral votes up for grabs under Nebraska and Maine’s district system. That leaves 10 all-or-nothing battleground states in play. Where do the two campaigns stand? You only need a couple of good polls for Trump in a week to terrify every Democrat in the country. And so there were, exactly, a couple. Battleground polls from ABC News/The Washington Post showed Trump leading Biden by four points in Florida, which has tightened over the last month, and by one point in Arizona, the first lead Trump has posted in a nonpartisan poll of the state in months. This, however, is why they make polling averages. Four other surveys of Arizona this week saw Biden leading between 1 and 9 percentage points, while he led other Florida polls by 2 or 3 points. Meanwhile, we finally got some polls of this election’s “forgotten man,” Ohio, whose blue-collar diner patrons must have been feeling unusually neglected this cycle. The numbers, on the back of the improvements Biden has made with non- college whites and seniors, were strong for the challenger, but we demand more polls of the state and will not rest until they’re taken. So Biden remains, at the end of this week, in a strong position for a comfortable victory—assuming the polling industry has fixed itself since 2016 and Democratic votes won’t be simply thrown in the trash by the new Supreme Court. If he carries his four strongest states out of the 10, he wins. Trump, meanwhile, would need to win his seven most favorable (or least unfavorable) states, including five states where Biden currently holds a lead in the polling average. Their paths meet (for now) in the tipping-point state of Pennsylvania, where Biden’s lead stands at 4.3 points. Planned Parenthood rolls out swing state ad blitz over Ginsburg legacy. Planned Parenthood is launching a swing state ad blitz over the fight to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. © Greg Nash Planned Parenthood rolls out swing state ad blitz over Ginsburg legacy. The group announced Tuesday it will run the digital ads in Arizona, Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania, four crucial battlegrounds in the presidential election, and that the video will be featured in other swing states in the coming days. The ad, titled "Legacy," is the result of a six-figure buy and says a Trump nominee to fill Ginsburg's seat would likely work against the liberal priorities the late justice had espoused for decades. "An American icon. A champion of women's rights. Donald Trump wants to replace her with another Supreme Court justice before the election, against her dying wish," a narrator says in the ad, referencing remarks from Ginsburg's granddaughter that she wanted to be replaced by a new president. "Threatening coverage for preexisting conditions and reproductive freedom, just like he said he would. We can't let it happen. Not to her legacy. Not to her seat. Not to our health. Not now.

Planned Parenthood is just the latest group to roll out an ad campaign centered around the newest Supreme Court vacancy as advocacy groups and Democratic super PACs look to energize the party base in the final sprint to the election. Democrats have howled over Republican efforts to move quickly to fill the vacancy after the GOP blocked President Obama from replacing Justice Antonin Scalia after his death in 2016, the last presidential election year. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) appeared to garner the votes needed to meet the 50-vote threshold in the Senate after Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), seen as the last of a small handful of potential swing votes, announced he would be open to confirming a Supreme Court pick this year. Only two Republicans have indicated opposition to filling the seat before the election. A Trump pick on the court could shift its balance to a solid 6-3 conservative majority. "This is the fight of our lives for tens of millions of people across the country. A week after the election, the Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could dismantle the Affordable Care Act, the biggest advance for sexual and reproductive health in a generation," said Jenny Lawson, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes, referencing upcoming hearings on health care and abortion. "If Trump succeeds in filling this seat, his pick could be the deciding vote on civil rights, environmental protections, and access to health care, including abortion," she added. "If we are to protect Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy, our health, and our rights, we must kick Donald Trump out of office and take back the Senate.

E-mail: dr.richardcebula@gmailcom Abstract. There is a debate regarding the impact of swing or independent voters in American politics. While some argue that swing voters either do not swing or have a marginal impact on campaigns, the decline in voter partisan identification and the rise of independents means that they have a potential impact on elections, making them a desirable commodity to candidates. Additionally, presidential elections represent a unique case for swing voters. A robust literature notes that during the presidential primary and caucus process, voters in states such as Iowa or New Hampshire effectively have a greater voice in the election than those in other states. This is due to the number of voters in these states, and the strategic importance of having their primaries and caucuses positioned at the beginning of the presidential selection process.

  • Sung. “Identifying State Competitiveness with Pre-Existing
    Identifying State Competitiveness with Pre-Existing State Conditions for the U.S. Presidential Elections Jaeyun Sung Lyon College Identifying pre-existing components that influence the level of competitiveness in an individual state is a critical step in designing a campaign strategy. While most states are locked up by one party over time, recent presidential elections show inconsistency of state competitiveness. This study focused on non-campaign elements to determine a predisposition of being the competitive states in a presidential election. Using data from the prior seven presidential elections from 1992 to 2016, the regression results suggest that a state legislature’s partisan composition, a primary election schedule, state economy, and the previous election outcomes significantly influence the changes in the vote margin between two major candidates from one election to the next. As an extension to the findings, this study proposes the difference between actual and predicted values to be used as an alternative measure of campaign effects. Key Words: Presidential Elections, State Competitiveness, Non- Campaign Factors, Polarization, Frontloading, State Economy, Forecasting Introduction Red and blue coloring on the U.S. map on Election Day reflects the emphasis on individual states to project the winner of the long-term battle. From the campaign perspective, a state-by-state calculation of the chance of winning is critical in order to rationally allocate limited resources in the hunt to achieve more than 270 electoral votes (Shaw 2006; Edward 2004; Shaw 1996; Bartels 1985; Brams and Davis 1974). Thus, limited resources leave long-term Democratic and Republican stronghold states ignored by candidates, while competitive states receive significant attention as a stepping-stone for winning (Gimpel, Kaufmann, and Pearson-Merkowitz.

  • Is Pennsylvania a Swing State?
    A Keystone State of Mind: Is Pennsylvania a Swing State? Scott McLean G. Graybill Diehm Lecture, October 27, 2016 Scott McLean is Professor of Political Science at Quinnipiac University. am reluctant to present myself as an expert on voters in the Keystone State. I have spent time in a few I of the wonderful places of Pennsylvania: Bucks County, Hershey, the Amish country, and of course Philadelphia. I juggle multiple baseball loyalties, and I allowed myself to be in Veterans Stadium cheering the Phillies in Game Five of the 1993 World Series. But these experiences don’t give me sufficient insight to make sense of all the politics in Pennsylvania. Still, in a broader sense, what experiences would? Pennsylvania is so complex that it has a way of confounding even the top political analysts within the state. The moral: When it comes to presidential elections in Pennsylvania, don’t bet everything on the predictions of the experts. With that in mind, I hope you will be patient with me as I ask the question: Is Pennsylvania a swing state? My answer is that Pennsylvania is an important, perennial battleground state in presidential politics, but it is not a swing state. It does not belong in the “swing club” of very closely contested states that frequently shift between Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. There are other states that fit that bill better. Before tackling the question of whether Pennsylvania is a swing state, I need to clarify what a swing state is. When we hear about swing states these days in the news media, they are presented as quirky purple states—with quirky swing voters—amidst a patchwork of red and blue states.

  • A Swing-State Theorem, with Evidence
    ASwing-StateTheorem,withEvidence John McLaren and Xiangjun Ma⇤ April 2016 (Preliminary.) Abstract We study the e↵ects of local partisanship in a model of electoral competition. Voters care about policy, but they also care about the identity of the party in power. These party preferences vary from person to person, but they are also correlated within each state or congressional district. As a result, most districts are biassed toward one party or the other (in popular parlance, most states are either ‘red’ or ‘blue’). We show that, under a large portion of the parameter space, electoral competition leads to maximization of the welfare of citizens of the ‘swing district,’ or ‘swing state,’ as the case may be: the one that is not biassed toward either party. The rest of the country is ignored. We show empirically that the US tari↵structure is systematically biassed toward industries located in swing states, after controlling for other factors. Our best estimate is that the US political process treats a voter living in a non-swing state as being worth 70% as much as a voter in a swing state. This represents a policy bias orders of magnitude greater than the bias found in studies of protection for sale. ⇤University of Virginia and University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), Beijing, respec- tively. 1 1 Introduction Among the industries in the United States disadvantaged by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the US, Mexico and Canada, the Florida tomato industry has a prominent place. Following implementation of the agreement in the mid-1990’s, cheap winter tomatoes flooded in from Mexico that compared quite favorably with Florida winter tomatoes in quality.
