Andrew Stephen Reynolds (born 21 May 1967) is an author and professor of political science at University of North Carolina.
[1] He taught at University of Notre Dame from 1997–2001 and at Chapel Hill since 2001; between 2008 and 2013 he was the chair of the global studies curriculum there.
[3] His work has been translated into multiple languages: French, Spanish, Arabic, Serbo-Croat, Albanian, Burmese, and Portuguese.
His opinion piece in the North Carolina newspaper News and Observer on research from the Electoral Integrity Project, on whose International Advisory Board Reynolds sits, received attention when it declared his home state of North Carolina could "no longer considered to be a fully functioning democracy" with 12 other U.S. states scoring as poorly.
[4] Andrew Gelman, a Columbia University statistician, subsequently criticized Reynolds's op-ed and the statistical basis of the EIP's ratings.
