While we're emailing the administration and being #MLawLoud, we must demand that @UMichLaw hire more diverse faculty, especially BIPOC. Thanks to @AreebaJibril's suggestion we looked to compare how Michigan is doing relative to our peers. In sum: not great https://t.co/CZosjEJD3L

PSA: the partisan split of the Allegheny mail/EV that drops after 8 PM is roughly 65D/23R/11I. It is redder than in years past - they broke 80-20 for Biden in '20 and 85-15 for Fetterman in '22, so don't try to make direct comparisons to those, especially w/ possible bluer ED.

@Ike_Saul also here’s a list of data and elections folks. a few are new to me but most i’ve followed for multiple cycles and have great info and analysis as returns come in

@icy464 do you know what it was in 2020?

[Will Walker @WillWalker33]

@Britausbrit @Ike_Saul definitely a question all over. but with the part split, would need a huge indy split and more dem turnout late/by mail (it seems)

@Ike_Saul for florida:

[Sean @demsocsean]

Dems finally overtake Republicans in Election Day vote in Dade

[Will Walker @WillWalker33]

@Ike_Saul Arizona has seemed to look relatively good so far. Florida too (no surprise there)

.@maricopacounty election day check-in update 1:01

130,038 check-ins

REP: 52.4k (40%)
OTH: 50.9k (39%)
DEM: 26.7k (21%)

[Will Walker @WillWalker33]

@Ike_Saul real tidbit is in combination with the follow up

if the E day split is regular but the EV was less Dem favored, seems like a hill to climb

[The AZ - abc15 - Data Guru @Garrett_Archer]

@StevenTSingh @maricopacounty about the same as 22. Difference being the split in the EVs is MUCH more GOP favorable.

@umichvoter How about Frita Batidos instead?

@MattGlassman312 @NateSilver538 i use how people think he did in 2016 as a litmus test for how seriously to take their thoughts on models and probability. i think Nate generally creates good models

however, i also think he’s a pretty bad pundit and that is part of what colors folks’ perception

@bendreyfuss Eastern Market itself is nice, especially on the weekend if you’ll still be there! else it seems like you found Barracks Row where a lot of stuff is. you also have H st to the north (especially if you’re staying north of lincoln park)

[Will Walker @WillWalker33]

@bendreyfuss i used to live in that neighborhood and loved it

was great when trader joe’s opened up that location

[Will Walker @WillWalker33]

@ninazm_21 It appears to me that Manchin and Sinema have all the leverage and there’s little the party/leadership can do if they’re committed to obstructing filibuster reform or any other action.

@Gevarticus @Tamar_Alexanian I’ve heard it a bunch of ways too. I think it’s one of those things where there’s not necessarily a “correct” pronunciation (though too many people probably have strong opinions). I say “pree-ma” “fash-uh”

@Sam_Rubinstein Almost there! You got this!

[Raffi Melkonian @RMFifthCircuit]

I think I've made my views on the bar exam pretty clear (I don't think it does any good the way it is now, and does a lot of ill) but there really is 0 reason for it to be closed book. That would solve your exam software problem.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

This long-delayed answer confirms how badly we were spun by Director Wray and the FBI in the Kavanaugh background investigation and hearing.

@SenWhitehouse Wow. If you sent them a tip, they did worse than nothing with it - they handed it straight over to the White House.

"These analyses confirm what scholars have maintained for decades: the bar exam is a test of resources. Candidates who can afford to study full-time for two months after law school, who can purchase expensive prep courses, and who have few family demands
