Careful polling shows that Americans overwhelmingly reject political violence - see e.g. brightlinewatch.org/tempered…, brightlinewatch.org/accelera…, and pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna….
Unfortunately, it only takes one person with a gun to create a tragedy like what've seen today.

“Promoting truthful information about elections, recognizing the dedication of election officials, and even getting involved as a poll worker are all ways to help,” says @SUAction Research Director @kellyrader.
“We have a long way to go until the 2024 election,” explains @statesunitedaction Research Director, @kellyrader. “We want ElectionDeniers.org to be there to help voters understand the full picture, no matter where they live or when they tune into the election."

The @FitchRatings downgrade of US sovereign debt cites persistent concerns with governance.
As I write about in the @BrookingsGov & @statesunited report, the erosion of democratic institutions leads to a higher cost of capital, for governments as well as the private sector.
🇺🇸 Mitigating political risk in the U.S. is crucial for institutional investors, so institutions must adopt frameworks that include political risk assessment, argues @LaynaMosley.
Check out a new report published in collaboration with @statesunited:

Making baseless claims about the 2020 election cost candidates for key statewide offices as much as 3.7 percentage points last November, a new study finds trib.al/ycTbKTq

A new @statesunited report found election deniers did 2.3-3.7% worse than a generic candidate in key races — often the difference between winning and losing in a swing state.
At the same time, 17 states have election deniers in statewide office

Equal access to the ballot box isn’t a partisan issue, it’s an American right. Every day, Black Americans are fighting to fulfill the promise of democracy.
Here’s how. 🧵 #BlackHistoryMonth

Election denialism is unpopular among voters who so often swing elections—those without strong attachments to either of the two major parties and those who vote inconsistently.
ALT A bar graph of survey responses that shows that a plurality of 2020 voters who voted for presidential candidates from different parties in 2016 and 2020, who only voted in 2020, and who voted for third party candidates in 2016 and 2020 said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who was an election denier (48%, 46%, and 44%), while a small minority were more likely to vote for an election denier (18%, 17%, and 18%).

I can't emphasize enough how much Secretary of State races matter. They don’t always get the most attention, but they’re crucial to ensuring we have fair elections—and this time, voters across the country chose candidates who will fight for democracy.

NEW: Police body cameras captured footage of some of @GovRonDeSantis' voter fraud arrests.
Those arrested were confused. The local officers arresting them were almost apologetic:
"I’ve never seen these charges before in my entire life."

If there’s a city program that would materially help poor and working people, you can bet Adams wants to end it
Mayor Eric Adams is reassessing how New York City’s so-called 3-K for All program, a top priority of his predecessor, fits into his administration’s strategy.

Expecting to be in Montreal for APSA. Happy to do an information session (which I also did last time I attended in 2019) on political science-type research in industry.

Weirdly, I think I became a professor because I am first gen. I was good at school and knew so little about professional career paths.

Let's be clear: the Court can talk all it like about the alleged democratic deficiency of administrative agencies (although: pot, kettle), but this is fundamentally a Congress-disempowering doctrine. It makes it nearly impossible for Congress to pass laws accomplishing its goals.
