Description
This represents a study of the relationships between congressional district
demographic characteristics, electoral competitiveness and representative
voting behavior. Census data is used to compute heterogeneity
scores for all congressional districts. Literature dealing with the effect of urbanization on electoral competitiveness and studies on the impact
of competitiveness on congressional voting behavior are discussed.
A hypothesis on the relationship between heterogeneity and electoral
voting behavior is presented. Two hypotheses on the relationships between
heterogeneity and congressional voting behavior are presented.
Congressional behavior is measured by party unity and conservativeness.
Correlational techniques arc used to study all three suggested relationships and some knowledge of such techniques is advised.
