Just set up my account on the other site. I have longed loved being able to follow so many thoughtful and informative people and outlets through this app, but my very strong preference would be to do so elsewhere at this time.

@MarkFishkin No conferences or divisions. Play everyone once (29 games) and then each team is assigned 5 “rivals” to play a 2nd time. This is more or less how the SEC schedules in football/basketball. Perfect for MLS given team/game count. Also works with 32 teams, just go down to 3 “rivals”.

@HDIntelligence are you sure?

@kkondik Yes. Not inconsistent with my theory (in some places a result of it?)

[Matt Dover @MattDover]

Will have to wait for a more full analysis but one possibility to explain this paradox would be low turnout among Dems in safe districts/seats while Rs turned out at high rates everywhere.

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

In a slight reversal of Republicans' recent structural advantage on the House map, they're currently on track to win about 51% of House seats with about 52% of the two-party vote - despite having gerrymandered far more states/districts than Democrats.

[Matt Dover @MattDover]

As I’ve been saying…

[Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn]

If the Dems end up losing the House, I think it can be said that they lost it in New York: they blew redistricting, and then they badly underperformed a still-very-winnable set of districts, even while faring well elsewhere

[Matt Dover @MattDover]

It's increasingly plausible that New York's inability to gerrymander its Congressional seats (while nearly every Republican-controlled state did so) will be *the* difference in control of the US House for the next two years, at minimum.

[Matt Dover @MattDover]

I passionately believe gerrymandering should be constitutionally outlawed nationwide.

With that said, given the current reality, we should be doing everything we can in NY to maximize Democratic seats in Congress. Sadly it’s the best way to approach fairness on a national level.
