The logistic regression results show that perceived chronic discrimination does not affect voting turnout among registered Asian Americans net of other factors. Concerning the effect of perceived acute discrimination, those who reported experiencing more than one event have a higher propensity to report voting than those who reported not experiencing acute discrimination. Native-born Asian Americans are more likely than naturalized citizens to report voting in the 2016 presidential election regardless of their experiences of chronic or acute discrimination, and when considering its interaction effect with perceived acute discrimination.Asian American, voting, discrimination
