  • 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.

  • Racial Gerrymandering MARK F
    Racial gerrymandering MARK F. BERNSTEIN 'HEN the 102nd Gongress convened in January 1991w, the Georgia House delegation was T THEN comprised of nine Democrats and one Republican—Newt Gingrich. Eight of the Democrats were white (as, of course, is the Republican) and one was black. But more than a quarter of Georgia's citizens are black, and, in order to comply with the Voting Rights Act following the 1990 census, two more black-majority districts had to be drawn. Finding blacks around whom to draw those districts proved challenging. But, under pressure from the U.S. Justice De- partment, the legislature adopted what was known as the "max- black" plan, which stretched the new Eleventh District for 260 miles, snaking block by block through neighborhoods from Atlanta to Savannah in order to collect enough blacks to form a majority. Just over four years later. Newt Gingrich is Speaker of the House, and the only Democrats in the state's delega- tion are the three representing the black-majority districts. All the other Georgia congressmen are white Republicans. If Georgia is the most extreme example of Democratic de- 59 60 THE PUBLIC INTEREST / WINTER 1996 cline following the creation of black-majority districts, it is by no means the only one. Within the last four years, while the Democratic share of the southern black vote has increased to a near-unanimous 91 percent, its share of the white vote has declined to just 35 percent, which has cost the party seats in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, North Garolina, and South Garolina.
