Looking for books by Trudy J. Hanmer?
I earned a Ph. I specialize in American politics, with an emphasis on voting rights, civic engagement, and public opinion, and political methodology. My book, Discount Voting: Voter Registration Reforms and Their Effects Cambridge University Press, , investigates the effects of registration laws on turnout, the composition of the electorate, and party behavior in the United States.
I've also published articles on the effect of ballot style on electoral outcomes, Election Day registration, voting systems, the over-reporting of voting in surveys, vote-by-mail, absentee and early voting, voter identification laws, limited dependent variable models, the use of ecological inference estimators to understand split-ticket voting, mobilization, the evaluation of political leaders in international affairs, the effects of COVID on comfort with various voting methods, and youth voting.
My current research investigates the expansion of voting rights, the intersection of sports and politics, how mobilization influences the use of new voting methods, vote over-reporting, how individuals evaluate responsiveness of political leaders, and question wording effects in surveys. After growing up watching curling think shuffle board on ice, not weight lifting on CBC, I joined the Detroit Curling Club during graduate school.
