0 past simple and past participle of blackball
1 to vote against allowing someone to be a member of an organization or group:
In short, the turnout rates were higher in districts with blackballed candidates, and this is particularly true in urban areas.
Moreover, the rebuttal excuses often provided by the blackballed candidates made voters even more cynical about the politicians and the political process in general.
Similarly, whether voters are in the district where one of the candidates is the blackballed or zealously blackballed is not significant at 10% level.
Also, we include the dummy variables indicating whether voters are in the districts where the candidates are either blackballed or zealously blackballed.
Anyone put up for election could be "pilled" or blackballed.
The dummy variable for the zealously blackballed districts turns out to be insignificant at 10% significance level, and the result is not reported here.
Again, the difference between the blackballed districts and non-blackballed districts is significantly different at the 5% significance level.
Both of the turnout rates in the blackballed districts are higher than in the districts without any blackballed candidates (by 2.5 percentage points and 1.0 percentage points respectively).
