The Chicago Center on Democracy

Using the power of research and discussion to support democracy worldwide.

The likelihood of 28 election scenarios

Bright Line Watch, a multi-university initiative housed at CCD, has produced the results of its 12th survey wave, conducted from October 5-16, 2020. Among other questions, we asked our experts to rate the likelihood of 28 scenarios related to the November election that could produce political crises.

Our vision is for resilient democratic institutions to thrive around the world.
