I find that the influence of authoritarianism on the vote for incumbents depends o11 the race of the voter and the party identification of the incumbent. This suggests that risk-averse voting behavior amongst authoritarians is a function of party affiliation in addition to perceived threat, and heavily qualified by race.展开更多
