Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper looks at the effect of religion on voter turnout in the 2004 presidential election using the National Annenberg Election Survey. It utilizes a more nuanced religious classification scheme developed in 2000 by Steensland et al. to look at the effect of differing religions on voter turnout. It also examines whether same-sex marriage ballot initiatives in 2004 were a mobilizing factor for the religious groups in the election. Overall it finds that both church attendance and issues mobilized evangelicals to vote in the election. As well, it produced the unique finding that while there is a mobilizing difference between evangelical and mainline Protestants, this difference disappears when looking at evangelical and mainline African Americans, pointing to the significance of the black church as an entity in mobilizing its members to vote.
