Abstract: I measure the rates at which newly eligible voters, deaths of eligible voters, and newly naturalized citizens change the composition of the American electorate across the decennial censuses of 1950-2000.I then examine the consequences of the physical replacement of the electorate for party identification, voting turnout, and culturally grounded political and social attitudes.
