Trifecta in Voting Barrier Causation

Shauna Reilly is professor of political science and director for the Institute for Student Research and Creative Activity at Northern Kentucky University.

“The Trifecta in Voting Barrier Causation: Economics, Politics, and Race is a timely contribution to the literature in voting rights and state election law and administration. Surprisingly and skillfully, Reilly has found a way to blend rational choice and political psychology, not through a utility maximization assumption, but through a framework rooted in threat minimization.”
