Do you think retrospective voters use the past to try and inform reasoning about the future?
IMO there has to be some level of this happening, otherwise retrospective voters would only have an opinion on those that already have served, and would be essentially picking from those who have not served at random.
Thanks!

It’s been a while since I read the study, but I think that was part of it. They used the past to inform opinions about the future.
