For the first time in human history, access to information on
almost any topic is accessible through the Internet. A powerful
extraction system is needed to disseminate this knowledge, which
for most users is Google. Google Search is an extremely powerful
and important component to American political life in the
twenty-first century, yet its influence is poorly researched or
understood. Sean Richey and J. Benjamin Taylor explore for the
first time the influence of Google on American politics,
specifically on direct democracy. Using original experiments and
nationally representative cross-sectional data, Richey and Taylor
show how Google Search returns quality information, that users
click on quality information, and gain political knowledge and
other contingent benefits. Additionally, they correlate Google
usage with real-world voting behavior on direct democracy. Building
a theory of Google Search use for ballot measures, Google and
Democracy is an original addition to the literature on the direct
democracy, Internet politics, and information technology. An
indispensable read to all those wishing to gain new insights on how
the Internet has the power to be a normatively valuable resource
for citizens.
