Abstract

This study explores how citizens in a newly democratized country with a legacy of electoral fraud and manipulation evaluate the cleanliness of the elections that have taken place since democratization. I argue that citizens in these contexts are more likely to express confidence in the credibility of elections when their electoral preferences are realized, due to the competitiveness of contemporary elections, but more importantly due to the legacy of electoral malpractice. Using panel data collected during the 2000, 2006, and 2012 Mexican elections, the evidence indicates that support for electoral winners is indeed associated with greater confidence in the cleanliness of election-day proceedings, whereas support for electoral losers is associated with less confidence.
公众对墨西哥廉洁选举的看法:对2000年、2006年和2012年选举的分析
这项研究探讨了一个新民主化国家的公民如何评估民主化以来举行的选举的清洁度,这个国家有选举舞弊和操纵的遗留问题。我认为,在这种情况下,由于当代选举的竞争力,但更重要的是,由于选举舞弊的遗留问题,当他们的选举偏好得到实现时,公民更有可能对选举的可信度表示信心。根据2000年、2006年和2012年墨西哥选举期间收集的小组数据,证据表明,支持选举获胜者确实与对选举日程序清洁的信心增加有关,而支持选举失败者则与信心降低有关。
