This well-regarded volume on the political party and election systems in the fifty states is now available through CQ Press. Written by two distinguished scholars, this book is unique in its focus on how American political parties operate at the state level and its examination of the primary and general elections in the states. Throughout the book, Jewell and Morehouse explain how and why parties vary from state to state in how they operate and compete in elections; the authors also describe the interaction between state and national party organizations. Political Parties and Elections in American States will be useful to readers doing research on the states' nominating processes, voting behavior in both gubernatorial and state legislative elections, and the role of money in state political campaigns, among other subjects. Many tables in the book provide cross-state data, enabling readers to compare parties and elections in their home state with those in other states. (view table of contents)
