The direct primary stands as one of the most significant and
distinctive political reforms of the Progressive era in American
history. In this book, the authors provide the most comprehensive
treatment available on the topic and utilize new data on election
outcomes, candidate backgrounds, incumbent performance and
behavior, newspaper endorsements, and voters' preferences. They
begin by studying whether primary elections have achieved the goals
set by progressive reformers when they were first introduced over a
century ago. They then evaluate the key roles these elections have
played in the US electoral systems, such as injecting electoral
competition into the regions that are dominated by one of the two
major parties, helping select relatively qualified candidates for
office, and, in some cases, holding incumbents accountable for
their performance. They conclude with studying the degree to which
primaries are responsible for the current, highly polarized
environment. Anyone interested in US primary elections, US
political history, or electoral institutions more generally should
read this book.
