| Abstract: | Objective: This study examines the joint effects of immigrant generation and race on voter turnout. Methods: Using data from the 2018 Cooperative Congressional Election Study, this study compares voter turnout across immigrant generations across different racial groups. Results: Our analysis shows that turnout rates in the 2018 midterm election are higher for blacks and Latinos as they become further removed from their immigration generation. Immigration generation has no effect on the turnout for Asians and other race respondents, and for whites, we find that voter turnout is highest among third‐generation immigrants. Conclusion: Our findings generally support our expectations but there are differences across racial groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
