Voter confidence in elections

Do Americans think votes will be counted accurately? 🗳️
Why it spread
It spread because it came from a big source with a top-quarter reach and had polished design, while the post itself drew only 3 likes, 4 reposts, 0 quotes, 0 saves and 2,108 views, so the reach came from the account rather than from engagement with the post.
What worked
- The chart type is a line chart that makes the gap between confidence in in-person ballots and mail-in ballots easy to see at a glance.
- The design is polished at a medium level and the chart is self-labelling at a medium level, with a source line shown and branding present.
- The post text is short and plain, asking a direct question about whether votes will be counted accurately and then stating the finding in two sentences.
What to borrow
We could use the same framing by asking a direct question in the post text, then showing a simple line chart that compares two related measures and states the gap in plain words, with our source line and branding visible.
Careful
Do not read the low likes, reposts, quotes, saves and views as proof that the chart itself was weak, since the spread came from a big source with top-quarter reach, and do not assume the post caused the reach.
