  • Too Many to Ignore the Latino Vote in 2010 and Beyond
    Too Many to Ignore The Latino Vote in 2010 and Beyond Angela M. Kelley and Gebe Martinez October 2010 Introduction Two years after playing a decisive role in the election of President Barack Obama, Latino voters are poised to play a critical role in the November 2010 contests and in years to come as their population and voting numbers increase. The key question for Latinos, as with all voters, is whether the general malaise with government will deflate turnout at the polls, or whether frustration with a stale- mated Congress will actually fuel election participation to let their voices be heard. Midterm elections usually draw fewer voters than in presidential election years, but this year of the cranky voter threatens to upset political norms, and the Latino electorate will be a major factor in the post-election analyses. Whatever the outcomes, there is one dynamic that will not change this November and beyond: Candidates who draw Hispanics to the polls by addressing their top issues such as immigration and the economy will be rewarded with the votes of this ever-expanding segment of the electorate. Those who do not may rue the day they ignored Latinos’ concerns. Whipping up immigration Heated gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races are in play in eight states where Latinos make up at least 10 percent of voters: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Texas, plus Connecticut and Illinois, which also have growing Latino electorates.1 1 Center for American Progress Action Fund | Too Many to Ignore The strength of the Latino voter turnout is also primed to determine the outcome in 17 Projected Latino vote in 2010 of the toughest races for seats in the House 35,000 of Representatives.

The debate over that concern is likely to escalate in the coming weeks, as an independent redistricting commission takes public comment and wrestles with revisions before voting on a https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=d92a6b21a7&view=pt&search=inbox&msg=130d... 6/27/2011 CA Citizen's Redistricting Commission Mail - Fwd: Hispanics -Gerrymandered again!--di...

Since the commission released its draft earlier this month, advocacy groups have begun organizing their members and are urging Hispanic voters to attend public hearings in force to voice their concerns.

  • Don't Tread on Me: Analyzing the Effects of the Tea Party on Voting
    Don’t Tread on Me: Analyzing the Effects of the Tea Party on Voting Patterns of House Democrats Nicole DeMont Department of Communication Stanford University Advisor: Shanto Iyengar June 4, 2014 Abstract: The Tea Party reached its peak during the 2010 midterm elections and helped propel Republicans into the House of Representatives. While commentary has focused on the Republican Party’s shift to the right in response to the Tea Party movement, this paper examines the Tea Party’s influence on the Democratic Party. Using Washington Post data on party voting, I find that Democrats who beat Tea Party candidates in competitive races are 6.5 percent more likely to vote with the Democratic Party in the congressional session following the 2010 midterm election. This brings the likelihood of voting with the Party up to 89.4 percent on any given vote, compared to the baseline of 82.9 percent. Possible explanations for this Tea Party effect are presented. Amid the mounting concern over the national debt and the size of the federal government, the Tea Party movement emerged in early 2009. On Tax Day, April 15, 2009, in what would be one of the largest rallies the movement would see, Tea Party protests took place in over 750 cities across the country. President Obama’s proposed healthcare bill only fueled the growth and frustrations of the Tea Party movement. Although the Democratic leadership, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, had originally dismissed the movement, by August 2009 the Democrats were forced to pay attention.
