Altered States

Changing Populations, Changing Parties, and the Transformation of the American Political Landscape

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Altered States, Thomas Holbrook looks at electoral change in presidential elections since 1972, documenting the magnitude, direction and consequences of changes in party support in the states. He finds that the Democrats do not have a "lock" on the Electoral College, but that their position has improved dramatically over the past forty years in a number of formerly competitive or Republican-leaning states in the Northeast, Southeast, andSouthwest.
