@lou_i_and_i @poliscigrl To clarify, in these results Democratic respondents were asked about a situation in which election results were affected by intimidation. Republican respondents were asked about voter fraud instead of intimidation.

Here's the breakdown.

[Devin McCarthy @devinhmccarthy]

Yes, most of these people are "leaners," but one way this might matter is in public support for electoral reform that could disrupt the two-party system. Dem leaners are more likely to support ranked choice voting than Dem identifiers.

HALF of Americans now identify as Independents.
This is a record-high in Gallup polling. And a huge jump since the election.
This disaffiliation from the two major parties is very dangerous for democracy. It reveals deep, deep dissatisfaction. https://t.co/01p54BAiRA

This is true in both national surveys that @jacksantucci and I use here: https://t.co/4ldDkCqLuR

My new paper with @jacksantucci is now up at Politics & Policy. We find that young Americans are more likely to support ranked choice voting across parties and racial groups. Their dissatisfaction with democracy is likely part of the explanation. https://t.co/Hp1wef22rU

partisans who learn their party elites are changing election rules for partisan benefit are less likely to support those rules. Elites need to couch their rules in principles, but Many different principle-based rationalizations work

Do Democratic Principles Constrain the Effectiveness of Elite Cues on Election Rules?

[Devin McCarthy @devinhmccarthy]

Excited to see Republicans embracing the principle of majoritarian electoral systems. Less excited to see them use it to disregard the result of an election conducted under plurality rules.

We look at some interesting North Carolina district maps with Devin McCarthy (Duke) to see how partisanship affects citizen preferences on redistricting. #ESRA2019
