The primary goal is to understand why candidates\u2019 websites have different levels of quality and whether this is somehow connected to the digital divide. Examining the quality of campaign websites reflects scholarly research concerning information technology, the digital divide and political campaigns and elections. I observe the relative quality of House campaign websites from the 2002 mid-term election in relation to demographic features of a congressional district including race, family income and education. The objective is to predict the quality of these candidate websites using these variables; and, subsequently, to discover whether campaign website quality has a relationship to the digital divide. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444809336553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,7]],"date-time":"2009-09-07T11:27:48Z","timestamp":1252322868000},"page":"1023-1040","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Understanding the complexity of the digital divide in relation to the quality of House campaign websites in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Christopher","family":"Latimer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State University of New York at Cortland, USA,"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,7]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"The Logic of Congressional Action","year":"1990","author":"Arnold, R.D.","key":"atypb1"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2673277"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/019722499128628"},{"volume-title":"\u2018The Internet as a Tool for Creating Economic Opportunity for Individuals and Families\u2019, Unpublished dissertation","year":"1998","author":"Babb, S.","key":"atypb4"},{"issue":"1","key":"atypb5","first-page":"42","volume":"23","author":"Barber, B.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Harvard International Review"},{"volume-title":"Moving Toward More Effective Public Internet Access: The 1998 National Survey of Public Library Outlet Internet Connectivity","year":"1998","author":"Bertot, J.C.","key":"atypb6"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780195151558.001.0001","volume-title":"Campaigning Online: The Internet and US Elections","author":"Bimber, B.","year":"2003"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1081180X00005001005"},{"issue":"1","key":"atypb9","first-page":"68","volume":"6","author":"Carlson, T.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Harvard International Journal of Press\/Politics"},{"volume-title":"Elections in Cyberspace: Toward a New Era in American Politics","year":"1999","author":"Corrado, A.","key":"atypb10"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780195114843.001.0001"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5210\/fm.v8i3.1039"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.infoecopol.2005.07.001"},{"key":"atypb14","unstructured":"DiMaggio, P., E.
