Wisconsin ultimately the closest of the 2024 battlegrounds, 3rd time in a row decided by less than a point. Highly effective Dem operation in the state kept their losses down amid nationwide swing. NH & MN surprisingly more competitive than so-called battlegrounds AZ & NV.

In the sweep of history, the last 7-8 US presidential elections demonstrate remarkable electoral stability.

Not true. Maricopa County Elections is working around the clock, through the weekend. We won't stop until all results are reported.

I'm amused at the apocalyptic claims about how thoroughly demolished the Democrats were when the shift in votes was in the 3 percentage point range. We're living in a time when small changes in mass behavior and attitudes can have big changes in governing institutions. That's a

Despite educational polarization in the party coalitions, 94% of House members & 99% of Senators have college degrees (& 64% & 78% have graduate degrees, though Dems have more). That will continue, as it looks like only ~3 new members (all Rs) lack a degree (all some college).

Between the “these voters didn’t understand tariffs/healthcare/etc” stories and the Murkowski/Collins stories, it’s feeling very dèjá vu.

Your weekend graphs from me to you. Change in Democratic vote share ('20 - '24) graphed against % Hispanic population in the county. One for the nation, the other by state.

Seems like Congress could probably have some sort of influence over that.

Three things can be true at once. The millions of votes being tabulated post-11/5: 1) Were just as validly cast as those counted on Election Night 2) Won't materially alter the presidential outcome 3) Highlight how underfunded/inefficient many state/local election regimes are

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell just shut it down. No recess appointments, no cabinet approvals—Trump’s team is officially locked out. This isn’t just a casual move; the Supreme Court has made it clear that the Senate must recess or adjourn for at least 10 days before a president can

Posting in behalf of the people - or at least the McDonald's Diet Coke loyalists: Dear McDonald's, These clear straws are awful! , They fold, they collapse, they tear. Please bring back the superior white striped straw. Thank you!

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

The most comprehensive assessment of Latino party identification finds that Latinos are moving Dem --> Ind more than Dem --> Rep. It's a "racial dealignment" more than a "racial realignment."
