This edited volume features preeminent scholars of Southern politics who analyze the momentous Election of 2020. In addition to chapters organized by state, this volume also focuses upon the issues that drove southern voters, the nominations process in early 2020, as well as a chapter focusing on where the region may be headed politically in the next decade. In addition, each state chapter includes analysis on notable congressional races and important patterns at the state level. The authors also provide keen insight into the ever-changing political patterns in the region. Since the South continues to evolve in terms of politics and demographic shifts, this book will be an important tool for academics. However, the book will also enlighten journalists and political enthusiasts seeking a deeper understanding of contemporary changes in Southern electoral politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe South is back as a central player in U.S. elections.

Demography is catching up with politics. It is the most exciting of regions, for better, a more competitive and representative politics, or worse, increased restrictions on voting by people of color. With Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and other states threatening to adapt, short-term or long-term, to the politics of mainstream America.\u003c\/p\u003e -- William Crotty, Northeastern University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: The Setting and Nominating Process\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The 2020 Southern Electorate: Demographics, Issues, and (In)Distinctiveness by Patrick R.
