Prof. Andrew Busch wrote a commentary about mail voting and election legitimacy for RealClear Politics. Co-author of Divided We Stand: The 2020 Elections and American Politics, Busch wrote that the proportion of ballots cast by mail nearly doubled from 2016 to 2020, a development that contributed to undermining confidence in results. He outlines two problems—inadequate ballot security and delayed vote totals—and ways of mitigating future concerns.

Prof. Jack Pitney was quoted in a Patch piece on the challenges Gov. Newsom may face on his path to reelection: “Even if the challenger in November isn't very compelling or strong, a lot of people will vote for that person to express their displeasure with the incumbent.

Prof. Lily Geismer’s new book, “Left Behind: The Democrats’ Failed Attempt to Solve Inequality” was reviewed by the New York Times. Geismer has also appeared at the Tucson Festival of Books and been interviewed on several radio and podcast shows.

In an AARP article examining the factors impacting the 2022 midterm election season, Prof. Jack Pitney was quoted on the effect of the pandemic: “If COVID is still lingering throughout 2022, there’s going to be more of a demand for mail ballots and early voting. But in a lot of states that’s going to be more difficult so it could have a negative impact on turnout.”
