Sunshine Hillygus, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, Duke University This book scrutinizes one of the oldest and most deeply held pieces of conventional wisdom about American elections: that election outcomes depend a great deal upon turnout rates and Democrats benefit from higher turnout. Shaw and Petrocik's careful, thorough analysis utterly refutes this claim. It is dead, and it is not coming back. Rather, they find that an old, almost forgotten explanation DL surge and decline DL more strongly connects turnout and election outcomes. -- D.
