@RWPUSA The Journal of Public Choice is actually a right wing academic journal, which uses micro-economic theory to supposedly analyze social topics. Notably the author of this article wrote a book entitled "More Guns, Less Crime."
A few years ago, the US Census Bureau adopted a controversial method for maintaining the privacy of personal data, Differential Privacy. Now it turns out that the rationale for doing so was unfounded, amazing story, https://t.co/YQHwPIYSnB
He just put up a full blown analysis:
Kansas Result Suggests 4 Out of 5 States Would Back Abortion Rights in Similar Vote
The referendum in a reliably Republican state shows which party has the most energy on the issue.

Of course, there are other differences between theses states, but abortion's overperformance in Kansas survives controls for race, education, Evangelicals, etc.
@mkguliford@Daniel_Laurison As a Yale Grad, a professor emeritus from Queens and CUNY, and as a proud father of a Swarthmore Grad, I agree with Daniel Laurison with one caveat. Make sure they are financially solid. Swat for one has a billion plus endowment, and treats faculty, staff and students very well
@jd_daw@ASAnews I am current chair of the Soc Practice and Public Soc section. I wrote on behalf of the section to the Exec Officer and then the President of the ASA. They flat out refused to have a hybrid meeting. SSHA, PAA, and other associations have successfully had such meetings.
@jncohen I think they are two of the top misinformation platforms on earth. Along with Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. All this would do is attract trolls and make some people think that they are important.
2/2 The main excuse, the new privacy system based upon so-called DP. But it was unjustified and does not protect privacy. See https://t.co/V5fXVRBZ2s and https://t.co/MOCAaI3K5V and https://t.co/1DoTavrsCM and https://t.co/ciLJJ7AKlC
They haven't backed down. Instead, no data.
The Census Has Gone Out of Business Until 2023--
The data on race and Hispanic status by sex, and age along with much other data will be delayed until 2023 or in some cases later, and what is released will be drastically reduced. https://t.co/j5CIAysZyX 1/2
@JostSteve @HistDem@ElectProject@nytimes There is another even more devastating analysis of the Census's DAS.
https://t.co/MOCAaI3K5V "We find that the DAS systematically undercounts the population in mixed-race and mixed-partisan precincts, yielding unpredictable racial and partisan biases."
@ElectProject I have worked to challenge jury systems in court at least 20 times. Nonetheless, I was not excused from a Jury Venire in White Plains. Meanwhile, my wife was excused because her husband challenged jury systems.
So thrilled yesterday to have an Authors-Meets-Critics session on my new book, w/ great comments from @ProfCandis, Rachel Ann May, & Gloria Cox @SPSAnews! Co-authored w/ Amy Lutz & Lakshmi Jayaram. https://t.co/6ckF6HpyRA. Free ship. w/ code TCP2022 to check it out! @TCPress
NEW: Yale president Peter Salovey issues letter citing Yale's "unwavering commitment to academic freedom."
Says he "should have tried harder to improve the situation" w donors that led Beverly Gage, head of the Grand Strategy seminar, to resign... (1/3)

It is not just Carrolton MS. Virginia’s new census data is distorted at local levels, analysts say: ‘It can’t be accepted as fact’ https://t.co/9oJ2VMGzeh
