Just in: 110-year old Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre voted today in Oklahoma. I’m told she voted for Vice President Harris.

Lots of time for takes but one pretty obvious one is that Dean Phillips was right and everyone that told him to shut up was not.

I cannot say this enough: - Early exits are not suitable for demographic analysis or comparisons. - AP/Votecast is still preliminary -- should be adjusted for final vote counts. - We don't have Catalist. Or Pew validated voters. It's just too early to have confident takes!

Very impressive what these tools for mass communicating can do when every message doesn’t say, “Charlie, I’m PLEADING - can you rush me $5???” nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/…

The contraction of local news has created a vacuum that has been filled by national media (which is more polarizing) and social media (polarizing and & more hospitable to falsehoods). This election is partly explained by the transformation in how voters get information. 🧵

Local news needs to reach voters where they are – Facebook local groups, Next Door, Reddit, Tik Tok, text messaging, WhatsApp. I mean actually embed ourselves, have our workflow and output be informed by and report to people where they ingest information. poynter.org/commentary/202…

Phenomenal map here from Axios and Kyle Stokes. Best Trump precincts in Minneapolis (he was 25% or less in all of them) were in Elliot Park, North Loop, Marcy Holmes, Dinkytown, Midtown, East Phillips, Lind-Bohanon, Shingle Creek, Marshall Terrace, Wenonah, and Downtown West.

Yesterday the Veterans Dept announced the vet homelessness rate had dropped to lowest level since data collection began in 2009, ↓ 55% in that time. It's great news, yet I havent seen a single major paper cover it. There's such a strong bias to report bad news rather than good.

I feel like that version of Twitter is dead and gone. Can’t remember the last interesting conversation I had here & that used to happen multiple times a day. Joined Bluesky two days ago and it’s smart people, cleaner, and graphs & charts instead of Bumfights. It’s got the juice.
