🤖🗳️ A new study examining AI chatbots responding to questions ahead of Irish by-elections found some failed to answer basic questions about the contests, and that significant problems emerged when tasked with more complex political questions. @jamespcross.bsky.social @ucdpolitics.bsky.social

🚨 New research alert! Our colleague Dr Krishna Vadlamannati and his co-author have just published a new paper in World Development. "Unintended Consequences of Externally Aided Projects on Fiscal Transfers: A Subnational Study of India" Read more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🗳️🤥 More Voters than Residents: “Generally, there is an issue with the register. There are people on the register who shouldn’t be on it - people who have died or people who have moved away." - Assistant Professor Thomas Daubler, Ad Astra Fellow, @ucdpolitics.bsky.social

It is illegal to commit electoral fraud in Ireland. It is also relatively easy

In some counties more people were registered to vote than the local population. The Electoral Commission is racing to ‘close the gap’
