The Second Reading Podcast: The Alarming Erosion of Texans' Trust in Voting and Elections

Jim Henson and Josh Blank look at results from the recently released University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll that illustrate starkly different yet widespread concerns about problems with voting and elections, and a serious lack of trust in the outcome of the presidential election. See below the podcast link for graphics of some of the data they reference in the conversation.

For a first take overview of Texans' attitudes toward elections and voting, see this recent blog post by Henson and Blank.
