AAPI Nexus: Voting 2:2 (2004)

This special issue of AAPI Nexus contributes to the goal of increasing the electoral participation and impact of AAPIs through an array of provocative, policy-rich, and hopefully helpful practitioner commentaries, policy research reports, and detailed accounts of exit polls and voting rights compliance strategies that might be used in AAPI communities across the nation during the November 2004 presidential elections and in the future.

The articles in this special issue are written by those who work or are affiliated with many of the most significant, long-standing AAPI organizations that have sought to enhance the electoral participation of AAPIs through voter registration campaigns, redistricting efforts, voter education projects, political action research, lobbying, legislation, and litigation. They analyze and share practical insights and lessons drawn from the political experiences of AAPI voters and communities in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and other locales across the nation. By doing so, the articles also contribute to the growing theoretical, public policy, and empirical literature on Asian American politics (Saito 1998; Aoki and Nakanishi 2001; Chang 2001; Lien 2001; Nakanishi and Lai 2003a; Lien, Conway, Wong 2004).
