I study race and ethnic politics, political behavior, elections, and methodology in American politics. My research is centered on the Voting Rights Acts, specifically, how the availability of Spanish language ballots influences Spanish-speaking Latino turnout. Currently, I am focusing on the striking of Shelby v. Holder and its impact on minority representation in state legislatures.
