DESCRIPTION:Ying Shi (Syracuse University) will present "Racial Disparities
  in Voter Turnout in the Aftermath of Shelby County v. Holder" as part of 
 the CPR Seminar Series.Abstract: In Shelby County v. Holder (2013)\, the S
 upreme Court struck down a core provision of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) t
 hat enabled federal electoral oversight in select jurisdictions. We study 
 whether this decision disproportionately impacted ballot access for margin
 alized racial and ethnic groups. Despite ample research showing the enfran
 chising consequences of the original VRA\, recent literature has not estab
 lished a reversal of fortunes in the aftermath of Shelby.&nbsp\; We use a 
 rich Census block-level dataset on voter behavior combined with sociodemog
 raphic attributes to document a decrease in turnout for Black\, relative t
 o White\, individuals. We show a suggestive but less definitive decrease i
 n Hispanic turnout. These effects are concentrated in counties with larger
  Black and Hispanic populations. Our findings on disenfranchisement unders
 core the urgency of documenting Shelby’s effects on not only political par
 ticipation\, but also economic and other dimensions of well-being.For more
  information\, please contact Alyssa Kirk.
