First published during the Eisenhower administration, researchers have long depended on this title for its consistent and detailed presentation of election data from across disparate state election offices. The book is published biennially, and since the mid-1990s the same author has brought years of election analysis experience and expertise in navigating the complicated U.S. electoral landscape. The book contains an introduction and election coverage, which is expanded in this edition to capture new trends analysis, and is predominantly composed of election result tables. Organized by state, this edition is a valuable resource that includes official, state-certified special, primary, and general election returns for the House, Senate, and gubernatorial elections of 2019 and 2020.
