All Democracy is Local – How We Can Strengthen Our Democracy

Kansas is at the bottom of many measures of democracy. In the 2016 general election, Kansas voter turnout was 59.2%, good enough to be 34th in the country and far below the nearly 75% rate in states with the highest turnout. Kansas also ranked 40th in the country for percentage of eligible voters who actually registered, and 43rd for highest number of mail-in ballots rejected. These statistics taken from a survey of Kansas county clerks, and many more, are presented from a report by the ACLU of Kansas

Black political behavior in Atlanta, Georgia: an analysis of the politics of exchange 1908 to 1973, 1980

This thesis traces the electoral behavior of blacks in Atlanta, Georgia from their disfranchisement in the early years of this century through the election of the city's first black mayor. Organizational patterns are examined in an effort to test the appropriateness of the exchange model of group behavior. Data regarding demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, voting and leadership patterns, and policy decisions are analyzed to determine the extent to which black political power has been maximized in Atlanta. Exchange theory provides a useful framework for the study of black political behavior as well as criteria for assessing the nature of political exchange among white leadership, black political brokers, and black voters. It is found that three stages of exchange did exist in Atlanta, managed by more than one black leadership group after World War Two. Further, the purported black-white voting coalition is concluded to have contributed little to the development of black political power. Materials for this study were collected from published works discussing black politics in Atlanta and the South. Other data were gathered from reports, unpublished papers, and interviews of primary political actors and students of black political activity in Atlanta. This study concludes that exchange patterns did exist in Atlanta which are useful for understanding the nature and potential of black electoral activity. However, impediments to the maximization of political power for blacks remained to impede the solution of problems and policies inimical to the welfare of the city's black citizens. With careful application and modification, exchange theory surpasses interest group theory in its usefulness for the study of black elec-toral behavior
