'05, published an article in The Forum, vol. 3, issue 2. The
article is titled "Red and Blue Déjà Vu: Measuring Political
Polarization in the 2004 Election." According to the abstract: "An
analysis of county-level data from the 2004 election shows only slight
increases in geographic polarization and political segregation. In
addition, there is no evidence that strongly partisan counties became
more so between 2000 and 2004." The Forum, a journal of applied research in contemporary politics, is published by Berkeley (University) Electronic Press.
