It was discussed as a relevant book about US House elections since the early 1960s, charting the shift from Democratic dominance to Republican advantage.
The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in U.S. House Elections.
Yeah so the book came out of a master's thesis I wrote at Johns Hopkins a few years ago I finished up my degree there and I wanted to explore. I analyzed and I've written about House elections for more than a decade and I wanted to use my getting my master's in order to explore this topic more.
And so the book is essentially it's a history of US House elections since the early 60s and I started the early 60s because that was the time of some landmark US Supreme Court decisions that enshrine the concept of one person one vote into law.
And so prior to those decisions you know House districts within states some of them had four times more people than some districts had four times more people than another district in the state.
So that's I thought that was sort of a good starting point for kind of modern redistricting and it also starts in 1964 with the Democrats at the height of their power they also have almost 300 US House seats. Lyndon Johnson has been reelected and so it sort of charts how the Democrats went from you know holding that being essentially a permanent majority in the House for much of the back half of the 20th century to 1994 when Republicans took control and then Republicans have more often held the house since then so it gets into all these kind of big concepts like redistricting and political realignment and the nationalization of elections that I think of all combined together to give Republicans more advantages in the race for US House and the other two are more important to the Democrats.
