At least, I don't know any other way to interpret this graph:Even among whites, full three-in-ten couldn't claim confidence that their ballot was counted. And among blacks, an extraordinary seven-in-ten didn't trust the process. Deeper in the paper (pdf), we find that there's a deep partisan divide in electoral trust: Even among whites, Republicans are 25 points more likely to be "very confident" that their ballot was counted. That may simply be a side effect of winning -- it would be odd to cry disenfranchisement when your candidate took a majority -- but it's unsettling nevertheless.Via John Sides.
