00:31

their particular team Is party line voting especially important for

00:34

be prospective issue voters Huh Well perspective issue voting means

00:40

supporting a candidate based on what he or she promises

00:44

to do like say passing a law eliminating the which

00:47

would be really bad for shmoop so anyway those kind

00:51

of empty or totally sincere promises though can be found

00:54

on both sides of the aisle Could party line voting

00:56

matter most to see retrospective issue voters Well imagine a

01:01

world where politicians don't keep their word you know be

01:04

tough right Well retrospective issue voting means rewarding or punishing

01:09

a candidate for his or her past actions for example

01:12

If a candidate promised to increase funding for public transit

01:15

upgrade and didn't keep his or her word they face

01:18

some tough questions from retrospective issue voters about how they

01:22

got off track That lack of follow through follows around

01:26

both political parties as well Would party line voting play

01:29

a big role for de voters driven by candidate appeal

Will voters who vote based on candidate appeal may give

01:36

support based on a candidate's looks charms or gas intelligence

01:41

even if they don't like his or her party Well

01:43

how about the republicans We'll party line voting is important

01:45

for people on both sides of the great divide so

01:48

we can't really single out a particular group is being

01:50

more down to party line vote which means party line

01:54

voting is especially important for a low information voters Not

01:58

everyone has the time or interest to track every race

02:01

before election day So party line voting is a common

02:03

strategy for low information voters since knowing the general party

02:07

positions can give them a pretty good idea of which

02:10

way to bend So the correct answer is option a

02:13

no matter what we should always try to be as

02:15

informed as possible when heading to the polls But if

02:17

we find ourselves feeling a little low information ish we 00:02:21.523 --> [endTime] can always toe the party line
