In democracy amid crises, scholars provide a data rich analysis of the impact of four interlocking crises on the 2020 election and aftermath. Covid 19 had a major impact on how some states administered the 2020 election and little effect on others. using a new dataset, we identify the options states introduced to make voting safer, the measures they took to encourage voters to use these options, and the options’ effects on voter turnout.
