Iowa has long been considered a swing state in general elections. In Iowa Votes, Political Science professor Tim Hagle, author of Riding the Caucus Rollercoaster, helps to explain why this is so by examining Iowa voter registration and election turnout data in terms of three key demographic factors: political party, sex, and age group. The examination of groups and subgroups related to these factors reveals several overall trends as well as the effects of particular elections. In addition to looking at general election turnout Hagle devotes chapters to primaries and absentee voting. The text describes and provides context for the findings, which are presented graphically in over 140 figures. Iowa Votes is an interesting and informative look at voting in an important swing state.
