Skimmed through most of it, but stopped at the relevant parts. I don't think their istrument is valid based on their explanation and results. I would like to see the referees' reports on this paper, as I'm sure the same questions were raised.
From the conclusion:
There was a significant jump in votes from 2000 to 2004, but that occurred for both parties. There was a significant jump in 2008 for democrats, but a decline in 2008 for republicans. This is one of those types of papers that the profession has been pushing and I think the editors of these journals are doing it for ulterior reasons.
