"The increase in straight-ticket party voting in recent years means that competitive congressional races can tip one way or the other depending on the showing of the candidates at the top of the ticket"

- Thomas E. Mann

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas E. Mann recommends that in recent years, more individuals are electing a single party instead of individual prospects. This implies that the outcome of congressional races can be identified by the efficiency of the prospects at the top of the ticket. This might be the presidential candidate, or the prospect for governor, depending upon the state. This shift in voting habits has made it easier for one celebration to acquire control of a state or area, as the majority of citizens will be choosing the same party. This could lead to an absence of competitors in congressional races, as one party might control the area.
