Representation and Electoral Systems 13. Urban Politics 16. Women and Politics 22. State Politics and Policy 32. Elections, Public Opinion, and Voting Behavior 33. Race, Ethnicity and Politics For some unknown bureaucratic reason, the Section numbers are not the same as the Division numbers. Since the meeting is mainly a vacation for the poli sci academic profs, it is highly unlikely that anything substantive will be done to get Democracy into U.S. legislative bodies (via proportional representation) and end the various gerrymander indirect minority rule governments (i.e. mostly talk and no action).
