Abstract
In this paper we analyze the patterns of behavior voters exhibit over a set of votes. We explore a set of structural estimation problems that involve analyzing several votes at one time and develop estimation techniques for identifying and analyzing patterns. Using the information in these patterns, we introduce a method for studying voter heterogeneity based on a finite mixture model. Finally, we employ data containing actual micro-level vote returns to estimate the mixture model parameters.
