I mostly lurk here these days, but I wanted to share that my team (forecasting) at Blue Rose is hiring a machine learning data scientist! 💙🌹

[Connor Gilroy @ccgilroy]

We’ve got a cool niche: challenging technical work with real impact for progressive orgs. I love that I get to write code to build statistical models every day, and see folks like Bernie Sanders and Ezra Klein engage with the results of that work.

Seems like an important update to this claim: using the voter validated CES, if everyone had voted, Trump would have done slightly better https://t.co/PZu0rvIOnb

[David Shor @davidshor]

Excited to signal boost @shiraamitchell and @ccgilroy's response to the @JakeMGrumbach and @carolinelsoler critiques of our estimates of Harris support among non-voters and youth voters.

Our main points:

[Connor Gilroy @ccgilroy]

@JakeMGrumbach Was messing around with the CES data a bit, would you mind pointing me to y’all’s code? Sorry if I’m just missing the link somewhere!

[David Shor @davidshor]

Excited to join @ezraklein to talk through what happened in 2024.

There's a turnout story this cycle, but not the one we're used to talking about. With less-engaged and less-likely voters becoming more Republican, a larger turnout meant a more GOP electorate.

[David Shor @davidshor]

Very excited to announce that we’re hiring for an AI-focused machine learning engineer role at Blue Rose!

This is a great chance to be at the forefront of using cutting edge machine learning techniques to resist Donald Trump!

[David Shor @davidshor]

Due to Trump's strong gains in hispanic, asian, and immigrant neighborhoods of all races, the partisan bias of the electoral college disappeared this year.

The house and senate still have meaningful pro-Republican bias, but senate bias has almost halved from four years ago.

About that job thing — super excited to say I started this week as a data scientist at Blue Rose Research, where I’ll be able to use my stats and social science knowledge for good, progressive causes.

[Connor Gilroy @ccgilroy]

I'll be starting a new job I'm excited for later this summer, which I'll say more about then. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to traveling, resting, and generally taking some time off.

[Connor Gilroy @ccgilroy]

@willie_agnew Thanks! It’s made for a hectic last few weeks of spring quarter.

The official version of the dissertation will go online once ProQuest approves my formatting, but unofficially I've put html and pdf versions on my website here: https://t.co/Le9NBYNJdx
