AP US Government
Unit 5 – Political Participation
Topic 5.1
How does the party-line voting model differentiate from retrospective voting?
Party-Line refers to non-voters who don't participate in elections while retrospective refers to regular attendees who never miss an election cycle.
Party-line voters consistently vote for one party, while retrospective voters choose based on past policy implementations.
Retrospective voters never change their political party affiliation, while parties often switch in party-line voting.
Party-line voter relies solely on media influence when deciding whom to vote for as opposed to a retrospective voter relying solely on personal bias towards candidates' physical appearances.
