Abstract
The author assesses the impact of incumbency on racial voting patterns and, more important, the extent to which the changing racial composition of a city's electorate conditions the relationship between voting behavior and incumbency. To address these concerns, the author examines voting behavior across a series of mayoral and city council elections held in New Orleans between 1965 and 1986, the period during which that city underwent racial transition from majority white to majority black.
