Title: Southern Politics in State and Nation
Main Point: competitive parties are needed for the proper functioning of democracy. Argued that regularized, competitive elections ' strength of party organizations ' good democracy. A party without electioneering in competitive elections exhausts its unity and discipline. Southern Dems were factional, character-centric -> hard for voters to tells Ins from Outs. After populism collapsed: small, elite white minority in black counties siezed power and adjusted rules for own benefit, disempowering blacks. Rich whites screwed over poor whites with voting laws. All-white primaries important to keep power from blacks.
Connections: Middle-class blacks align with whites to screw over poor blacks in Stone (1989). Consisten with Zaller (1992) and Key (1961) poor whites followed elites (against their interests).
