California's adoption of the blanket primary in 1996 presented a unique natural experiment on the impact that the election rules have on politics. Billed as a measure that would increase voter participation and end idealogical polarization, Proposition 198 placed Calfornia voters once again on the frontier of political reform. Employing a variety of data sources and methodologies, the contributiors to voting at the Political Fault Line apply their wide-ranging expertise to understand how this change in political institutions affected electoral behaviour and outcomes.
