Prob the most striking finding was that the 2nd-best predictor of being a Biden 2020/Trump 2024 swing voter (after being young) was being a non-white parent of a child under 18. V big effect size on a solid sample (2K weighted non-white parents, ~200 Biden-Trump flippers). 7/n

We all talk about race, but the best single predictor of voting intention in our survey is religion. (Most voters are white, and race doesn't tell you anything about white voters’ preferences.) For white, Hispanic, and Asian voters, the more important u say religion is to u 4/x

The point is: the price of this meme stock is *not* set by supply and demand, at least not in the naive sense. It's set by the arcane rules of the market. In particular, 'borrow fees' can slow down changes in price - and even bounces in 'wrong' directions. meidastouch.com/news/this-indi…

In legal filings today, Camden County Dems say that office block ballots will 'lead to voter confusion and potentially voter disenfranchisement.'

This is what the Camden County Dem primary ballot from 2021 looked like.

Don't sleep on this: *2* state justices who just voted to make all abortion illegal in Arizona are on the ballot this year.

They're each up for retention, as I had detailed here last week: boltsmag.org/your-state-by-…

Special Counsel Jack Smith: 'A President’s alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election and thwart the peaceful transfer of power to his lawfully elected successor is the paradigmatic example of conduct that should not be immunized'

Four GOP congressional candidates have asked to intervene in Andy Kim's case that just barred the use of New Jersey's 'county line.' The judge said his ruling only applied to the Dem primary; intervenors want it to apply to the GOP primary, too storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Yeah, this is total BS. Republicans held their 2020 convention weeks after the declaration deadline in Ohio and Frank LaRose raised no issue for Trump appearing on the ballot then.

If LaRose seriously tries to block Biden from the ballot, federal courts will eat him for lunch.
