Access to credit affects voting behavior in the US. Uncertainty in credit access leads to more conservative voting choices. By analyzing credit reports and voting data from 2004-2016, researchers found that voters near credit score thresholds tend to vote Republican. A 10pp increase in these marginal voters results in a 2.7pp increase in Republican votes and a 2.6pp decrease in Democratic votes. Winning candidates in uncertain areas tend to use more conservative language.
