Day 2! As part of our workshop today, we'll discuss "bridging the gap" in our work on elections and violence. How do we do public engagement responsibly? What are we already good at and where can we improve? What do we need to know to do this more effectively moving forward? https://twitter.com/austincdoctor/status/1325786385102512129

Many of the workshop members have recently written powerful public engagement pieces with @monkeycageblog @PVGlance and others.

First, check out @travisbcurtice's piece with @cdcrabtree on partisanship and voter support for election monitors in the US.

Next, @smburchard wrote a great piece for @monkeycageblog which explains why incumbent efforts to reduce voter turnout by threatening violence often backfire. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/03/presidents-who-threaten-election-violence-lose-votes/?tid=ss_tw

Finally, @StephenMBagwell and I wrote a piece for @PVGlance which identifies the factors which increase the risk of electoral violence in the US---and those which may mitigate this risk.
