		<description><![CDATA[We already know from Gerber et al. (2008) that social pressure can boost voter turnout. As part of Political Behavior&#8216;s special issue on social pressure and turnout (read some background), Gerber et al. join forces again with a new question: Does negative pressure (shame) work better than positive pressure (pride)? To find out, they sampled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2008, Gerber et al. published a pioneering study of mobilization. Using heavy-handed tactics, they found that they could shame people into voting (read more). Using heavy-handed tactics might be fine for academics, but real-world campaigns can&#8217;t use those tactics without alienating their supporters. For example, Utah&#8217;s Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Mike Lee, sent [...]]]></description>

Now, suppose a local newspaper planned to shame those who stayed home by listing their names instead. Would you be more likely to vote?

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a few things we know about voter turnout: The urban poor don&#8217;t vote. Voter turnout experiments don&#8217;t typically focus on non-voting populations like the urban poor. Turnout is lower in municipal elections than presidential elections. Sending door-to-door canvassers with a mobilization message can boost turnout by 8-9 percentage points. Social pressure can boost turnout [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago, Gerber, Green, and Larimer (2008) shook up research on turnout with a stunning experimental result: You can raise turnout dramatically with a postcard. Not just any postcard, of course. If you received one of their postcards, you would have seen your own turnout record over the past few elections. You would also [...]]]></description>

Would you be more likely to turn out? Odds are that you would. At least, that&#8217;s the conclusion of a massive experiment likely to change the way campaigns mobilize [...]]]></description>
