Abstract
American electoral trends are rarely simple. A generalization about voting in one area of the country or among a particular subset of the population may not apply elsewhere or to everyone. For years, political scientists tempered their most significant pronouncements about voting in America with the phrase ‘except in the south’. In the 1990s, they may need even more face-saving caveats.
