Abstract
⺠In this study we re-evaluate realigning elections in the United States from 1860 to 2008. ⺠By using county level data we estimate vote transfers between major parties. ⺠We find that 1932 was the only election that exhibits all the characteristics of a critical election. ⺠We also find a lack of evidence for oscillations in partisan presidential vote choice. ⺠We finally find a lack of evidence for realignments in the most recent elections.
