How do Italian-American converts to Protestantism vote?

[H. Ross Peron]

Probably a big gap between converts to Evangelicalism and mainline Protestantism. Given that there aren't many converts to mainline Protestantism from Catholicism besides the partners in some interdenominational marriages and a few theological liberals, I suspect that overall Italian American Protestant converts are more Republican voting than their Catholic counterparts. I've said this before, but conversion of Catholic (and to a lesser extent Jewish) "ethnic" whites to Evangelical Protestantism as a result of suburbanization and move to the Sunbelt from the cities of the Northeast and Midwest is one of the most understudied phenomena in modern American history.
