I was coding some stuff and I realized that I have "lived through" a coup!! Thailand, February 1991. I wish I could remember it. All I can remember is having a birthday party at McDonalds around that time.

In light of Trump making the 3rd term comments on Sunday, I thought it would be interesting to revisit the broader data on term limit evasion attempts. In 2020, Mila Versteeg (UVA Law) and I worked with some law students to collect data on strategies incumbents use to circumvent term limits /1

New paper! @annemeng.bsky.social's thread lays out the key findings, but the v short version is (1) concessions are rising, (2) but primarily for unfair elections, (3) incumbents concede much more and this is probably causal, (4) weak evidence for conceding being a norm osf.io/preprints/os...

Polity has not coded any countries other than the US since 2018, but this places the US below the 2018 scores of Russia, Venezuela, Haiti, Iraq, Zimbabwe, the Central African Republic... Perhaps the inference we should make here is about the reliability of Polity.

When @annemeng.bsky.social and I started this project I thought it might get some attention but didn't expect a special issue with nearly 30 leading scholars of democracy writing replies. Huge thanks to the folks at PS and all the contributors for a lively and constructive discussion.

Beware the UVA poll going around on support for violence & democracy tinyurl.com/uvacpoll I've never heard of firm; few details on methods/sample; and question wording is messy and non-standard. Our survey using more careful methods finds support for violence is extremely rare tinyurl.com/viol-poll

Does anyone have a good way to convert a pdf to LaTeX? Doesn't need to be perfect, just something better than copying/pasting the pdf text into TeX and then reformatting all the math by hand. I quickly tried free online things that didn't work. Thanks!
