Artigo Are voters polarized along party lines about how to run elections during the COVID-19 crisis?(2020) Lockhart, Mackenzie; Hill, Seth; Merolla, Jennifer; Romero, Mindy; Kousser, Thad; Tribunal Superior EleitoralAre voters as polarized as political leaders when it comes to their preferences about how to cast their ballots in November 2020 and their policy positions on how elections should be run in light of the COVID-19 outbreak? Prior research has shown little party divide on voting by mail, with nearly equal percentages of voters in both parties choosing to vote this way where it is an option. Has a divide opened up this year in how voters aligned with the Democratic and Republican parties prefer to cast a ballot? It addresses these questions by presenting the findings of an online survey of a nationally diverse sample of 5,612 eligible voters, fielded from April 8-10, with an embedded experiment providing treated respondents with scientific projections about the COVID-19 outbreak. It finds an eight-percentage point difference between Democrats and Republicans in their preference for voting by mail in the control group, but this party divide doubles in the treatment group. It also finds that exposure to scientific projections about the outbreak increases support for vote-by-mail legislation and confidence in vote-by-mail election integrity for both Democrats and Republicans.Artigo How do americans want elections to be run during the COVID-19 crisis?(2020) Kousser, Thad; Hill, Seth; Lockhart, Mackenzie; Merolla, Jennifer; Romero, Mindy; Tribunal Superior EleitoralIt reports how a sample of 5,612 eligible American voters, surveyed April 8-10, want to see the election run during the COVID-19 crisis. It was embed a randomized experiment presenting respondents with truthful summaries of the projections of two teams of scientists about the pandemic. The descriptive findings shows that four in ten eligible voters would prefer to cast their ballot by mail rather than in person this November and that a majority of respondents favor policies expanding mail voting. The experimental findings shows that respondents who read the scientific projections were more likely to prefer voting by mail, were more likely to trust that a mail ballot would be counted accurately, and were more likely to favor holding the election entirely by mail.
