  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

    Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program K-12 Curriculum Project History of Elections Hacking – Teacher Resource Guide Laura Baker, Board President CyberWyoming Alliance Targeted Grades: Middle School (6-8)/High School (9-12) Wyoming Social Studies Standards Lesson Aligns With: - 8th grade standards: SS8.1.1, SS8.1.2, SS8.4.1, SS8.4.2 and SS8.4.3. - High school standards: SS12.1.1, SS12.1.2, SS12.4.1, SS12.4.2 and SS12.4.3. Presentation Summary: Cybersecurity is a growing concern among governments, businesses, and citizens in the United States and around the world. One aspect of this, foreign election hacking, has become a growing challenge to modern democracies, including the United States. By definition, election hacking (or more broadly election tampering) is the attempt by governments (and non-government groups) to covertly or overtly influence the elections of another country. This presentation looks at the allegations of recent election hacking in the United States, its origins, and raises questions about the implications this has for our democracy. The presentation traces the origins of Russian hacking to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia and presents a number of questions for your students to ponder about the implications this has for democratic elections and the future of American democracy. As you review the presentation in class, you can ask students about what they already knew and what they learned from this video to set up a discussion of broader implications for hacking and cyberspace for election security and beyond. Suggested Discussion Questions: 1. Do you think election hacking should be taken more seriously today? Why or why not? 2.
