Mo examines the causes of why Asian-American voters are majority Democrat. She looks at two major causes: 1) social exclusion and 2) intergroup solidarity. Her work goes on to identify possible explanations of racial political behavior in the United States electoral process. [3]
Washington Post's article by Cecilia Mo discusses the possible explanations of why Asian Americans tend to lean more left than right. Her research focuses on the assumption that Asian Americans income would sway them more Republican, but offers instead that because of the political climate towards Asian Americans, they tend to vote Democrat.
