===How does the author rule out alternative hypotheses? ===
===How might these tests be run if one had quantitative evidence? ===
See discussion below. This paper has both theory and empirics.
===What problems might arise in this quantitative analysis?===
A big source of problem would be to find quasi-experimental variation in disenfranchisement. Disenfranchisement typically occurs endogenously as the result of a choice by a local government. It should therefore be hard to find a naturally occurring situation in which local conditions are the same across counties, but some counties have disenfranchisement for arbitrary reasons.
