My most promising source is the 2nd source on this list, “Voting for Catholic Candidates: The Evolution of a Stereotype.” The reason I believe this source to be the most promising of the five is because from the description in the abstract it says that this source looks specifically into how Catholicism effects an individual voter in both forms, either the voter being catholic or if the candidate is catholic. This type of information would give great incite into how Catholicism has effected certain elections using data collected on Catholics and Voters.
