Description
This represents a study of the relationships between county
ecological characteristics and electoral competitiveness. Literature
dealing with the effect of urbanization and in-migration on electoral
competitiveness is reviewed. Two hypotheses on the relationship
of urbanization and party competitiveness are presented. Two
hypotheses on the relationship of in-migration and party competition
are presented. These relationships are examined in terms of static
and dynamic variables, analyzed separately and together. Cross-tabulations,
correlational analysis, and multiple regression are
employed to test the hypotheses, and a general knowledge of these
statistical tests is advised.
