• W137011070 abstract "At the heart of democracy is representation: the process of having a select few speak for the many. This process of representation is mediated by our political institutions, the rules and structures of the political process, which are constantly evolving. During the progressive era near the turn of the twentieth century, the United States experienced a series of critical institutional changes including women’s suffrage, the direct election of senators, and in some states, the establishment of direct democracy. This last change allows citizens to directly pass legislation, entirely bypassing the legislative process. Within the context of direct democracy, this project reexamines a very basic question: why do voters vote? I argue that the initiative process alters the set of factors that voters depend upon for the selection legislators. With the initiative, voters are able to bypass the legislature entirely. The use of the initiative gives voters a way to “correct” policy mistakes due to biased legislators. Since they can fix these problems ex post, they have a great incentive to concentrate ex ante on the personal characteristics of candidates. I model the tradeoffs faced by voters in their selection of candidates, and most importantly, how direct legislation affects those tradeoffs. The first hypothesis states that voters in initiative states will alter their voting calculus by diminishing the role played by policy. This is demonstrated empirically in four different ways (chapter 5). First, voters are less likely to vote ‘correctly’ in states with the initiative (Lau et al. 2008). The ‘voting correctly’ model is the ability of voters to ‘correctly’ select a candidate the best represents that voter’s policy positions. Second, voters engage in less ‘economic voting’ (Bali and Davis 2007). Third, voters are more likely to select women as their representatives (Boehmke, et al. 2009). There is a reoccurring pattern in how, why, and under what conditions men are favored over women. Men are viewed as better decision makers, while women are stylistically more open to" @default.
