Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: There is a popular assumption that congressional voting against acts of war will lead to electoral retaliation. In The Electoral Consequences of Voting to Declare War (1995), Regens, Gaddie and Lockerbie attempted to shed light on this “cost of war” assumption. They also sought to test the durability of the “rally-round-the-flag” phenomenon and determine how the two hypotheses interacted. They reviewed the elections following the Mexican American War, World War I and the Persian Gulf War to determine the effect of a “no” vote. The authors found that only the electoral results following the declaration of war in World War I was significantly related to congressional votes against the war. Neither the Mexican American War nor the Persian Gulf War yielded statistically significant results. There results were mixed. “The evidence presented here offers some support for the rally-round-the-flag phenomenon as well as the costs-of-war model and its impact on elections” (Regens et. al 1995, 180). Their study questions the strength of the war vote assumption, but calls for more investigation. This paper will further the research done by Regens, Gaddie and Lockerbie in two ways. It will reexamine the Persian Gulf War to determine if the election following the war was unique. The authors determined “we do not find support for either the rally hypothesis or the cost-of-war hypothesis in the 1992 elections” (Regens et. al. 1995, 180). Strengthening statistical analysis on the Gulf War will help determine if the Persian Gulf War was different and why that was the case. Additionally, the original analysis will be updated, by considering the electoral effects of the War on Terror. It is important to examine more recent war resolutions; to consider individual vote choice by voters and to asses the effect of a more politicized war environment. Were the Gulf War results unique or were they indicative of a new trend? What effect the War on Terror had in the 2002 mid-term elections and the recent presidential elections will add to the contemporary literature on the cost-of-war and rally hypotheses. Roll call votes on the “war” declarations will be reviewed and compared to election results. Additional variables will be controlled for, these include: effects of redistricting, rate of retirement and overall incumbent win/loss ratio. Proximity of war vote to general election will also be considered. Regens, James, Ronald Keith Gaddie, Brad Lockerbie.
