Party Identification and Vote Choice in Partisan and Nonpartisan Judicial Elections Chris Bonneau University of Pittsburg Damon Cann Utah State University
The Problem: • No existing national sample of voters in judicial elections (limited to single-state studies) • Little is known about whether partisanship effects voters’ decision making in judicial elections • Questions swaps allowed us to ask vote choice questions on 3 CCES modules. • Not all respondents lived in states with judicial elections • Not everyone votes • We observe multiple vote choices per voter in some states.
