Two graphs to illustrate the key take-aways from the #OH12 special election.
First, Balderson's % plotted against Trump's % by county in the district. (The Trump numbers are only from precincts in the 12th dist.) Balderson just a little less than Trump in each county. (Circles ~ to turnout.)
Second turnout in each county plotted against Trump's % in those counties. (Again, only looking at precincts in the 12th dist.) Biggest drop-off in strongest pro-Trump counties.
This is probably not a story of shifting sentiments so much as shifting mobiliziation, interest, enthusiasm, etc.

In the process of writing a paper about the reliability of voter registration statistics in EAVS, I've done a survey of VR/list maint. reports issued by states. Especially good ones are available from Florida, Virginia, and Washington.

1/7 The cult of the voting machine strikes again.
politico.com/story/2018/07/…
2/7 The security problems that were unearthed during the 2016 election have very little to do with voting machines, but rather, the computer systems that support the administration of elections.
3/7 Many states do need new voting machines, but that’s primarily because they are old and beginning to break down. This article at least credits the fact that many states were already beginning to address the decrepitude of the machines.

Thought-provoking article by Nicole Goodman and @leahstokes on the effect of Internet voting on turnout in local Ontario elections: doi.org/10.1017/S00071…
While framed as an article about Internet voting, it might be better to think about it as an article about convenience voting in low-salience elections. It has a lot for friend, foe, and indifferents about Internet and convenience voting to think about.
This article suggests one way how _not_ to implement Internet voting if you care about turnout: require pre-registration. However, that just increases the security concerns.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

By Ron Rosenbaum @RonRosenbaum1

THREAD✔
1/
THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

1. Let me explain political tribalism using sports as an example.

If I’m watching basketball and one player grabs another player’s genitals, my feelings about that offending player are likely to trend negative.

But wait…
2. When my home team player Draymond Green repeated yanks on some nuts, I’m like, “Well, in the grand scheme of things, what’s a little genital pulling.”

Maybe its part a broader strategy. Everyone knows the way to dude’s head is through his crotch.

It’s the same offense, yet
3. Because it’s a guy from my team, I dramatically change my view of the severity of the offense.

If you team’s player grabbed my team’s player by the balls, I would be unequivocally opposed.

But because it’s my team, I fall somewhere on the spectrum between thinking it’s…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
