Political Science colleagues or others who research election data are needed to analyze yesterday’s midterm elections in the United States. I am particularly interested in: 1. the strength of the pro-life vote; 2. the shift in the political affiliation of Hispanic/Latino voters to the Republican Party; and 3. the effect of voter surveys conducted by national political action committees or other pro-life groups. The last question is especially important for the 2012 elections. If discussing sensitive data, please reply privately to my email or cell.
Colleagues who investigate these topics may want to consider presenting their research at next year’s UFL conference.
