researchers-have-found-strong-evidence-that-racism-helps-the-gop-win

3/4/2016

This article discusses a research study that examines the relationship between racism and political party affiliation in the United States. The study found strong evidence suggesting that racism plays a significant role in helping the GOP (Grand Old Party, referring to the Republican Party) win elections. The researchers analyzed data from the American National Election Studies and conducted multiple experiments to support their findings. They found that racial prejudice, particularly among white voters, significantly predicted voting behavior, with those holding more racist attitudes more likely to support Republican candidates. The article also explores the historical context and implications of these findings in the broader political landscape.
