This easy-to-use handbook presents a fascinating and fresh take on
American presidential elections and makes a wide range of
statistics available to serious researchers and political fanatics
alike. Counting the Votes: A New Way to Analyze America's
Presidential Elections isn't your typical history book about
presidential elections. Nor is it like most statistical analyses of
election results. What this unusual book does offer is an array of
innovative statistics-campaign score (CS), potential index (PI),
return on potential (ROP), and equalized vote totals (EV*EQ), among
others-that provides a provocative, intriguing, and fresh
perspective on past presidential candidates and campaigns.
Presenting information that has never been compiled and presented
before, author G. Scott Thomas provides reams of statistics for all
57 presidential elections (1789 to the present) as well as essays
inspired by those races that explore new interpretations of
electoral trends. The book also includes lists of outstanding
political performances in 179 statistical categories in addition to
complete statistical records for 289 presidential candidates. The
unique information and metrics introduced in this book will be
invaluable to historians, political scientists, and students who
are conducting research into voting trends and will serve as
additional tools for their work. Includes a "Record Book of
Presidential Politics" that spotlights the best and worst
performances by presidential candidates highlighted in 179
statistical rankings, identifying which nominee was the youngest,
came from the smallest state, and won by the smallest margin of
popular votes Written by an accomplished journalist with more than
three decades of experience and who has authored four books focused
on national politics Provides an alphabetical directory of the
career records of 289 presidential candidates between 1789 and 2012
presented in tabular form for easy reference
