Abstract

Party elites may hinder racial and ethnic minorities from winning public office by withholding resources. Prior studies have explored the distribution of money, media access, and party-list positions. In Brazil, party elites provide each candidate with a unique identification number. Voters must enter their preferred candidate’s identification number into an electronic voting machine to register their support. In this article, we replicate and extend Bueno and Dunning’s (2017) analysis of candidate identification numbers. They conclude that party elites do not provide white candidates with superior identification numbers than non-whites. We contend that assessing intraparty variation is theoretically and methodologically warranted. Using party fixed effects, we find that party elites provide non-white candidates with worse identification numbers than whites. We demonstrate that our findings are generalisable using data from other elections. Moreover, we show that party elites also withhold advantageous numbers from women and political novices.

种族和竞选资源:巴西的候选人识别号码
党内精英可能会通过扣留资源来阻碍种族和少数民族赢得公职。先前的研究探讨了资金分配、媒体访问和政党名单位置。在巴西,政党精英为每位候选人提供唯一的身份证号码。选民必须在电子投票机中输入他们喜欢的候选人的身份号码,以登记他们的支持。在本文中,我们复制并扩展了Bueno和Dunning(2017)对候选识别号的分析。他们得出的结论是,党内精英不会为白人候选人提供比非白人更高的身份证号码。我们认为,评估党内变化在理论上和方法上都是有道理的。利用政党固定效应,我们发现政党精英为非白人候选人提供的身份号码比白人更差。我们使用其他选举的数据证明了我们的发现是普遍的。此外,我们还表明,党内精英也对女性和政治新手隐瞒了有利的人数。
