    The Rise and Impact of Fact-Checking in U.S. Campaigns by Amanda Wintersieck A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Kim Fridkin, Chair Mark Ramirez Patrick Kenney ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015 ABSTRACT Do fact-checks influence individuals' attitudes and evaluations of political candidates and campaign messages? This dissertation examines the influence of fact- checks on citizens' evaluations of political candidates. Using an original content analysis, I determine who conducts fact-checks of candidates for political office, who is being fact- checked, and how fact-checkers rate political candidates' level of truthfulness. Additionally, I employ three experiments to evaluate the impact of fact-checks source and message cues on voters' evaluations of candidates for political office. i DEDICATION To My Husband, Aza ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the many individuals who helped me with this dissertation and throughout my graduate career.

    ADP Resolution - Calling For An End To The Senate Filibuster The Arizona Democratic Party Supports President Biden's Agenda We Call For An End To The Filibuster WHEREAS, The Arizona Democratic Party Platform indicates that the Arizona Democratic Party supports, among other things, the right to vote1, non-discrimination2, the Equal Rights Amendment3, worker rights4, immigration reform, living wages, bold action to address climate change, universal health care, and preventing gun violence5; and WHEREAS, Arizona’s Republican state legislators are pursuing an aggressive agenda of voter suppression legislation that, if successful, will require federal legislation like the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure that all eligible Arizona voters can exercise our right to vote without undue barriers; and WHEREAS, Republicans in Congress have indicated a near-universal commitment to obstructing the passage of any bills offered in support of the aforementioned policies by, at least in part, utilizing the non-constitutional Senate Filibuster to prevent any debates or votes on bills proposed by Democrats6, and there is no indication that any 10 Republican Senators are willing join with the 50 Democratic Senators to override the Senate filibuster on the aforementioned issues or President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda; and WHEREAS, By empowering an uncompromising minority of obstructionist Republicans to attempt to improve their political standing by loudly opposing broadly popular legislation to address the aforementioned policy issues rather than engaging the legislative process in a truly bipartisan manner, the Senate filibuster eliminates any political incentive that might encourage Republican Senators to support Democratic legislation designed to benefit all Americans7; and 1 “We[, the Arizona Democratic Party,] support the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits states from imposing voting policies, voting qualifications, or other discriminatory practices against United States citizens.

Having worked hard to secure a BREAKthrough victory in a state that had never elected an open- break through ly LGBT official, the Victory Fund quickly assembled a team of lawyers, donors, advisors and staff to defend her win. And when she finally won, we all did. Now when Alabama lawmakers debate the lives of gays and lesbians, they will look up from their lecterns to see a true hero of our community, and their colleague, staring back at them. The fight for that was mighty, but the power of it is strong, quiet and unyielding. Like Patricia. And 2006 brought other BREAK- through victories.

This has been noted by recent work, but there has been little theoretical focus on the implications of this parties as networks approach. My dissertation unpacks what it means for political parties to be networks and what the implications of this view are. I argue that because political parties are networks, the relationships that exist between groups within the network are critical in explaining variation in party ideology across the state parties. In addition, I argue that fracturing of a party network outside the legislature leads to a similar fracturing of the party caucus inside the legislature. To test these theories I use state legislative donation data from 2000 to 2016 to develop state donation networks. Using these networks I first show that relationships help to explain party ideology even when controlling for resources.
