Ann Eisenberg Explores Rural Voter Sentiment Post-Election
Ann Eisenberg’s recent essay, Why Aren’t We Talking About Rural Voters Anymore?, offers a timely reflection on the political and legal implications of rural voter behavior in the 2024 election. Drawing from both legal scholarship and community narratives, Eisenberg highlights the nuanced ways rural voters are engaging with democratic processes.
“The realization that something other than the supposed quirks of rural voters or the inherent flaws in rural populations must be at play in determining our national elections might lead us to new, more fruitful avenues of analysis. Something structural, and not cultural, now seems like a clearer explanation for Trump’s 2024 win. And we should be doing some work to understand those structural factors.” — Ann Eisenberg, West Virginia University College of Law
