Shauna Reilly - The Resilient Voter: Stressful Polling Places and Voting Behavior

The Resilient Voter

Voting, Elections, and the Political Process

Series Editors: Shauna Reilly and Stacy G. Ulbig

Receptive to studies in the American and comparative settings, the Voting, Elections, and the Political Process series examines the broadly defined electoral process. The series seeks scholarly monographs and edited volumes that investigate the ways in which voters, candidates, elected officials, parties, interest groups, the media, and others interact in the context of electoral politics. Works with a focus on individual attitudes and behavior, institutional and contextual influences, and the legal aspects of the electoral process are welcome. This series accepts interdisciplinary work using a variety of methodological approaches.

Our first project together, this book was a testament to working collaboratively and problem solving without a history upon which to build. Without question, this was a positive working relationship and a true partnership. While only our names are on the cover of this book, many others assisted us with this project, and we are grateful for their assistance.
