    Vermont VPR / VT PBS September 2020 Poll Polling Methodology

    Vermont VPR / VT PBS September 2020 Poll Polling Methodology This project was sponsored jointly by Vermont Public Radio (VPR) and Vermont PBS, Colchester, VT. The sponsors worked with Rich Clark, professor of political science and former director of the Castleton Polling Institute, to develop the questionnaire. Data were collected between September 3 and September 15, 2020 by Braun Research, Inc., a market research, data collection, and data processing company headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, with call centers in four locations. Interviews were conducted by phone with live interviewers. A dual frame landline and cell phone random digit dialing design was used; the sampling procedures for both frames are described below. Of the 604 completed interviews, 239 were conducted over landline phones, and 365 with cell phones. For the cell phone sample, interviewers selected whomever answered the phone, assuming a one-to-one relationship between phone number and individuals. Anyone who did not live in the prescribed geographic area (the state of Vermont) was screened out as ineligible. For the landline sample, interviewers requested to speak with the youngest male member of the household who is at least 18 years of age; if there was no male in the household, interviewers requested the youngest female. The margin-of-error is (+/-) 4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level for data representing the entire sample. Data were weighted by utilizing a raking method to reflect census figures for gender, age, education, and geographic distribution (county-level population) across the state. The weights are based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates from 2018 for the state of Vermont.

    NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY The Electoral Success and Representation of Minorities: Different Cost of Voting Scenarios A Capstone Submitted to the University Honors Program In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Baccalaureate Degree With Honors Department Of Political Science By Shalisha Hill DeKalb, Illinois June 6, 2021 Hill 1 HONORS CAPSTONE ABSTRACT This research tests whether minorities are underrepresented in state legislatures due to restrictive state election laws that hinder voting. Some states like Oregon make it easier for citizens to vote and other states like Texas make it more difficult. The Cost of Voting Index (COVI) is a measurement of the electoral/institutional restrictiveness of each state and values are available for presidential election years from 1996 to 2020. Previous research has revealed that the amount of voting restrictions that citizens face makes it harder for them to vote (Li, Pomante Schraufnagel, 2018). What is less understood is whether restrictions hurt Blacks and Latinos running for statewide offices. This research will test whether the COVI can help predict voting margins, which in turn will reveal how successful minority candidates will be in states that are less restrictive or more restrictive. Broadly, the purpose of this research is to understand the electoral success of minorities and how the COVI helps to explain their success. Most specifically, the research question I examine is, does the restrictiveness of each state’s electoral/institutional climate help explain the relative underrepresentation of minorities in government? In other words, can the restrictiveness of state election laws help explain a lack of representation of Blacks and Latinos in elected offices? Hill 2 Introduction Aside from voter turnout, at either the aggregate or individual level, I look to examine the electoral success of minority candidates who run for public office.
