  • Voter Turnout in Presidential Nominating Contests
    The Forum 2015; 13(4): 597–622 Michael P. McDonald* and Thessalia Merivaki* Voter Turnout in Presidential Nominating Contests DOI 10.1515/for-2015-0041 Abstract: Presidential elections are conducted in two stages. The November general election is proceeded by a series of contests where delegates are selected to national party conventions, which is where the parties select their candidates for the fall election. These nominating contests’ political environments vary: the rules regarding who can participate; the levels of electoral competition, which are related to when they are held; and that other offices present on the ballot, if any. We explore the effects of these conditions on voter participation in recent presidential contests and generally find turnout highest in competi- tive and inclusive contests where other offices are on the ballot. Examining the 2008 American National Election Panel Study, we find primary voters are more ideologically extreme than general election voters, but there is little difference between voters in closed and open primary states. We suggest primary type has little effect on the ideological composition of the electorate because modern nomination contests are low turnout elections that draw only the most politi- cally interested. Introduction The most important elected office in the US is the president. As an indicator of the value the American electorate places upon the presidency, more Americans vote in the November of a presidential election year than at any other time. Yet, the general election is just the end of a long arduous road in the selection of the president. The modern presidential election begins with a series of party nomina- tion contests sometimes starting in January and continuing through the summer, where the political parties’ candidates for the general election are chosen.

  • STEALTH DONORS Outside Groups Spent More Than $1 Billion Trying to Influence the 2012 Elections. Nearly Two- Thirds of That
    STEALTH DONORS Outside groups spent more than $1 billion trying to influence the 2012 elections. Nearly two- thirds of that money flowed through super PACs – groups able to raise unlimited contributions. Super PACs got a lot of attention this year, but despite that, some seven-figure donors managed to avoid the spotlight. Now, new research by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sheds light on a dozen super PAC donors who gave at least $1 million, but whose efforts to sway votes drew little attention. The bipartisan list of big-money donors includes the family behind a popcorn empire, a businessman whose mining companies have been cited for a long list of environmental problems, an advertising industry leader, and a real estate developer who leases space to government agencies. All had policy or business interests depending on the outcome of the elections. The Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision unleashed an onslaught of outside spending, though in many cases this year, it wasn’t enough to sweep preferred candidates into office. Nonetheless, super PAC donors with millions of dollars at their disposal and a demonstrated willingness to spend their money on politics are likely to get special attention from lawmakers. The only question remaining is, what sort of return are these donors expecting on their investments? Philip Geier, Jr., consultant and former advertising executive.

  • 2013 New Jersey Election Results
    2013 New Jersey Election Results SUMMARY As indicated by all of the pre-election polls Governor Chris Christie (R) cruised to victory over challenger State Senator Barbara Buono (D). With this significant re-election victory the Governor’s 2016 national aspirations become even more realistic. At the same time Chris Christie’s win did not result in down ballot coattails, both houses of the New Jersey Legislature remained under Democratic control with only two Republican gains in the Assembly. GOVERNOR As expected, Governor Chris Chirstie (R) easily won re-election for a second term as Governor of the State of New Jersey over challenger State Senator Barbara Buono (D) by a resounding margin of 60% to 38%. The Governor carried every county in the state with the exception of the traditional democratic strongholds of Essex and Hudson. Even in those democratic areas Buono’s margin of victory lagged far behind normal pluralities. LEGISLATURE Targeted Districts 1st Legislative District (Cape May and parts of Atlantic and Cumberland Counties) Incumbent State Senator Jeff Van Drew (D) withheld a significant challenge from Susan Schmidt (R) winning the district with 59% to 40% percent of the vote and Assemblyman Bob Andrzejcak retained his seat with 27% of the vote. However - Republicans may have picked up one seat with Cumberland County Freeholder Sam Fiocchi (R) defeating incumbent Assemblyman Nelson Albano (D). The incumbent faced criticism since The Star-Ledger reported how he used his position to try to get out of a speeding ticket. Since the difference between the candidates is only 1284 votes a recount is possible.
