Going beyond theory and guess based forecasts; this book systematically explores and measures the implications of the growing use of the internet in the American political landscape. Using current election data, the authors specifically challenge the predominant conjecture that the impact of new technology will not affect electoral outcomes and illustrate that the use of the internet is causing a marked shift in not just who votes, but who wins.

The authors of Rebooting American Politics are not constrained by the tired heuristics, often first constructed in the 1990s, used by most scholars to comprehend the role of information technology in American politics. Instead, in each chapter they bring fresh perspective, theory, and underutilized empirical data to answer a number of the most timely and important questions on this topic. This captivating book is vital reading for those with an interest in understanding many of the key transformations of contemporary American politics.
