  • 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.

  • STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING Proposed Minutes
    STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING Proposed Minutes November 21, 2015, 10:00 a.m. North Salt Lake City Hall Chaired by James Evans, Chair; recorded by Bryce Christensen, Secretary. The meeting was called to order by James Evans at 10:03am. Pam Clinch offered a prayer and Kevin Braddy led the pledge. The Chair moved to amend the agenda to have the first round of balloting for the State Treasurer Selection immediately follow the approval of the minutes. The amendment passed without objection, and the agenda was adopted as amended. Bryce Christensen made a correction to the minutes to show Kristen Chevrier as having attended the September 19th, 2015 State Central Committee (SCC) meeting. The minutes were adopted as corrected. A motion to adopt the rules for the State Treasurer Selection was made and passed. Each candidate for the race was allotted 6 minutes for speeches. Committee members were informed that the red ballot would be used first, and that marking more than three names would spoil their ballot. A majority vote was required for each name in order for the candidate to be selected. The candidates gave their speeches. The order of the speeches was Merrill Cook, Phil Condor, Neil Walter, Lane Ronnow, David Damschen, and Kathleen Bailey. The final credentials report was 123 credentialed members. Members were informed that if they spoiled their ballot they could turn in their spoiled ballot for a new one. The Chair declared balloting to be open at 10:51am. Balloting was declared closed at 10:59am. The Officers gave their reports. Abram discussed the party’s finances.
