ABSTRACT

Divided Government is nowadays a common feature of the U.S. political system. The voters can cast partisan ballots for two political powers the executive (Presidential elections) and the legislative (the Congress elections). Some recent studies have shown that many voters tend to shape their preferences for the political parties by choosing different parties in these two election stages. This type of behavior referred to by [36] as “ticket splitting” shows irrationality of behavior (such as preference reversal) from the perspective of traditional decision making theories (Von Neumann and Morgenstern [40], Savage [34]. It has been shown by i.e. [42] and also [25] that these types of preferences are “non-separable” and can be well accommodated in a quantum framework.
