Analysis | Why so many Republican officials went along with Trump’s fraud claims Original
Many have speculated about why Republican elected officials went along with President Trump’s efforts to convince Americans that the 2020 election was riddled with fraud. Our research suggests that a big piece of the puzzle is the GOP base. Republican voters tell pollsters they believe Trump when he says there is fraud. Partisans, we’ve found, are motivated to believe that the other party cheated and are skeptical about claims that their party cheated. Evidence has nothing to do with it.
Analysis | Why did the polls undercount Trump voters?
On the night of Nov. 3, as early election returns came in, many observers argued that once again the election pollsters had been wrong. That had changed by Friday. In the presidential race at least, nearly every state had gone in the direction pollsters had predicted, once mail-in and early votes were counted. For instance, Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight issued 56 forecasts: 50 states, the District of Columbia, three congressional districts in Nebraska and two in Maine.
Motivated Reasoning and Yard-Sign-Stealing Partisans: Mine is a Likable Rogue, Yours is a Degenerate Criminal
Abstract We fielded an experiment in the 2012 Cooperative Congressional Election Study testing the theory that motivated reasoning governs reactions to news about misdeeds on the campaign trail. Treated subjects either encountered a fabricated news story involving phone calls with deceptive information about polling times or one involving disappearing yard signs (the offending party was varied at random). Control subjects received no treatment.
Which Party Represents My Group? The Group Foundations of Partisan Choice and Polarization
Abstract While groups have been central to thinking about partisan identity and choices, there has been surprisingly little attention paid to the role of perceptions of the group composition of the parties. We explore this critical linking information in the context of religious groups, some of the chief pivots around which the parties have been sorting.

Roger Stone says there would be an ‘insurrection’ if Trump were impeached. Is he right?
In a recent interview with TMZ, President Trump’s confidant Roger Stone was asked about the prospect of the president’s impeachment, a topic that has arisen occasionally in recent months. “You will have a spasm of violence in this country, an insurrection like you’ve never seen,” Stone responded. “The people will not stand for impeachment.
Will sexism be the U.S. presidential election’s November surprise? Here’s what we found.
Even before Hillary Clinton officially launched her bid for the White House last year, political observers speculated about whether she would be hurt by sexism. Would gender stereotypes lead voters to doubt Clinton’s ability handle a national security crisis? Would people focus on her appearance instead of her policy ideas? Would Americans be willing to cast ballots for a female commander in chief?
Donald Trump accuses Ted Cruz of dirty tricks. Will it matter?
Allegations of dirty political tricks in Iowa are flying. Donald Trump is tweeting about little else. The Washington Post’s Philip Bump summarized the dust-up: “Trump referred to Cruz’s campaign having emailed voters during the caucuses implying that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race.
Ohio voters support and oppose legalizing marijuana. Wait, what?
On Nov. 3, 2015, voters in Ohio will vote on two different ballot initiatives related to the legalization of marijuana. One initiative, Issue 3, was placed on the ballot by citizens and would legalize marijuana for both medical and personal use in Ohio. The second initiative, Issue 2, was placed on the ballot by the legislature and would essentially negate Issue 3.
