Brewer discusses shift in political party registration with AP News
AP News interviewed Mark Brewer, professor and chair of the University of Maine Political Science Department, about the uptick in political party registration among formerly independent voters. “It’s a symptom of the ever-increasing political polarization,” said Brewer. “Just when you think partisan differences can’t get any sharper, they do.” U.S. News & World Report, The Hill, The Washington Post, Newsday, the Houston Chronicle, Chron and other news organizations nationwide shared the AP report.
