@realJennaEllis Frankly, a lot of ‘election data’ gurus from both sides seem to be doing little more than taking readings from coffee granules. The mail ballots/early voting in Dipstick County Idaho (pop 874) can’t be extrapolated. Polls are guesstimates in US races which huge margins of error.
@EgbersTom Dunno why people are dunking on this, golfers are allowed different views and expectations are either met or not, especially when it’s the world’s top courses in the frame. I loved Carnoustie, didn’t like Hoylake (preferred Wallasey) loved Princes, don’t love the Old Course🤷♂️
@austincampbell@khoee My prediction: a ton of largely partisan ‘election data’ commentators jump on some granular data and extrapolate it to make them feel warm, but none of them appear to understand what margins of error actually mean. At the moment most contests shld be treated as ‘marginals’.
@I_amMukhtar Interesting piece: self styled ‘demon’, UKIPer, Russian Orthodox, stayed out of jail after being arrested with a knife in a bar fight (chucked out the Marines as a result). A lot of murk left hanging, a wrong ‘Un.

Sure Debyanne, during the American civil war, all the elections included voters in the confederate states…..
Your Russian strings are showing.
@tryingattimes Exactly. I’m old school….but classic example would be Conservative Freinds of Russia (to me it screamed influence op). To those on the inside (like Carrie Johnson) it’s just pushing closer business and cultural interests. It eventually imploded, but it worked for a time.
@tryingattimes I’m over simplifying here but: the ideological left reacts to ideological prompts (largely for free) the way ‘in’ to influencing the populist right has been by buying themselves in with £$€. Creating and amplifying division across spectrums is the key.
@P_Kallioniemi Maybe it’s a coincidence: some of the key UK populist right/disinfo accounts are down from thousands of likes to hundreds; some ‘football’ accounts based in Africa have suddenly started making up anti Ukrainian quotes to shit stir. Worth watching….
@carolecadwalla The ‘success’ is having a Ref. Also: any chaos, confusion and division which can be sown. Russkis don’t care what the issue is, their own views are immaterial. They’re as happy pushing anti semitism as they are pushing anti Islamic narratives. The point is pressing the bruise.
