Cross-Party Voting in 21st Century Presidential Primaries: A Social and Empirical Analysis

This paper by Mark Trautmann explores the phenomenon of cross-party voting in U.S. presidential primaries, focusing on its prevalence and impact in open primaries. Trautmann examines cases in the Midwest, analyzing data and media narratives surrounding the Michigan Republican Primary (2000, 2012) and the Democratic Primaries in Wisconsin (2004) and Indiana (2008). The findings suggest that while media often overemphasizes the influence of cross-party voting, its actual effect on primary outcomes remains limited, though potentially disruptive in certain cases
