During the 2018 midterm election cycle, the students of HSP's AP U.S. Government and Politics class studied two Georgia congressional elections and the gubernatorial election to better understand the factors that influence voting patterns, the election process, and how different linkage institutions (i.e., political parties, interest groups, and the media) both aid candidates and influence voters during the election cycle. Here are our findings.
