Presentation Transcript

1. RACIALLY POLARIZED VOTING Maxwell Palmer Benjamin Schneer Boston University Harvard Kennedy School

2. What Is Racially Polarized Voting? Racially polarized voting (RPV) occurs when the majority group and a minority group vote differently. Is the minority group politically cohesive? Does the majority group vote as a bloc to defeat the minority s preferred candidate? RPV does not require discriminatory intent. We estimate RPV using ecological inference (EI), a statistical technique.

3. Statewide RPV Results

4. RPV Varies Across Virginia By Region

5. RPV Varies Across Virginia By CD
