walks us through MI's Democratic primary tonight where "Uncommitted" may pick up delegates. MI has the largest Arab American population in the US and along with young voters are not happy with Pres. Biden's handling of the Israel/Gaza war.
Senate control could very well come down to a shootout in big sky country and right now we're seeing red. Pivot Point currently has the race at Lean R.

BREAKING: Republican Ohio senate candidate Bernie Moreno has been proven to have ties with Epik, a far right website that platforms multiple neo Nazis. Bernie Moreno needs to explain himself and disavow these neo Nazi ties

Are GOP aligned pollsters flooding the zone? It depends on who you ask. To some it's obviously true, to some it's a conspiracy theory and most will be blissfully unaware.

We covered the Senate race in Montana in the wake of the debate this week. With one month left, Sheehy is skipping his own float at the MSU Homecoming Parade in Bozeman... where he lives.
Following reporting that he's going to "extreme lengths" to dodge press, this morning Tim Sheehy skipped the MSU Homecoming Parade in Bozeman. He couldn't even be bothered to show up to his own float.
Guess who did show up?

Everything always happens seems like an apt description of this summer. In a two part series we are going to examine the anomaly that is 2024. In the first article we look at it from the perspective of the Harris campaign.

How and when American's vote this year will look strange if you're expecting a repeat of 2020. What Sam says here is pretty much right, but if you want a couple thousand more words on it check out
@DjsokeSpeaking
article for us -
Also trends I expect in Virginia and across much of the country compared to 2020
Mail: Less Dem and less of it
In-Person Early: Less Dem and more of it
Election Day: Less GOP and less of it
But overall there will be be less polarization across voting methods
Thanks to you all. With our first year (almost) over/heading into our first full year, we're proud of what we've accomplished so far/and excited for what's next. 2024 will be a momentous year and we'll be there covering American elections without spin or pre-determined narrative.
Thanks for this opportunity to give my hot take on the Virginia polling discourse
The TLDR version is below
Still hoping for more polling here to get a better sense of exactly what’s going on

I try not to put my blind faith in anyone.
But you’d be a fool not to take Joshua seriously.
No one knows Pennsylvania better than him.
And he won’t sugarcoat it if things turn south for Harris in the next 49 days.
Peltola won in June 2022 partly because not enough Begich voters ranked Palin as their 2nd choice.
Instead of trying to win 2nd choice voters, the AKGOP is avoid RCV altogether in most races.
