WHAT THE FUCK

Folks, a *very* exciting announcement: The Downballot has just published updated 2024 presidential results by congressional district for every state with a new map this year! That's 10 states in all, covering a full one-third of the House. Please dive in!

One thing I am going to be skeptical of going forward is any rando running for senate. Feel like you should be an already elected official in another position or somehow a known entity in some other way before asking for that level of political office.

Also, people need to chill in the terminally online politics bubble. Maine won't affect races in Texas or Iowa. Here are the numbers for "do you think Platner allegations are true": 79% said "not sure" and then 61% didn't know who he was

Susan Collins turned her back on Mainers a long time ago. Together, we can defeat her. Get involved at TroyJackson.org.

Loving the energy already tbh He's ready to win!

If you would like to share your thoughts with Graham Platner’s campaign team, now you can! www.surveymonkey.com/r/9XL7GGG?my...

Bruh these people suck so badly

New video from Maine Dem Party says Platner's team is trying to "put their thumb on the scale" of what the process for picking a replacement will look like. "We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Platner's team that they have no role in determining our next Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate"

Apparently there was a third option

idk it's gall as much as panic, I believe Platner sent about $5.7M in various ad services to a Fight Agency-linked company just through May 20, and has to have shipped off another $1.5-$2M since then. www.fec.gov/data/committ...

20 Likes, and we will release our newest program tonight, called Tabula America Proportio! It lets you compare districts using a similarity score, so you can see what areas are most similar and differently. We have demographic data, election data, and a combination of both.

Basically every contested dem primary is under Dems underperforming fundamentals. Yeah I don’t believe that. You can’t take pre primary polling that seriously!

We're starting a Bluesky GC! If you want to join, reply to this, and you better quick since there's only 50 spots. If it happens to fill up... well join our Discord! You should anyways Discord Link: discord.gg/Yqh4EmBVRR

Fuck you

Get his fucking ass out of here www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Look this is the problem with all the “we need anti establishment candidates”. If you want someone like that to run, you better be ok with a bunch of them having lots of skeletons in their closets. If you’re fine with that, great! But this is the trade off.

HOW

NEW: We are going to attempt to have a weekly newsletter, starting this week with @corncobanalysis.bsky.social writing about the Colorado primaries, as well as some of the new programs we have on the website! LINK: electioncord.com/newsletter-c...

I have no idea what Tommy Butler’s platform is, but if Dems flip Colorado HD-50, would be a big help to a number of causes (including redistricting) So, good ROI on this one secure.actblue.com/donate/butle...

I often feel loved in spite of my sexuality, but it’s still a blessing given how conservative my family is Not everyone is so lucky, and if your circumstances don’t let you live & love honestly, it will get better. Happy pride everyone, here’s to a better future 💚🤍💙

NOW OUT: Our new program in our Tabula America Series, Tabula America Charta. This graphing program lets you look at correlations, and compare different statistics, both regarding demographics and election information. LINK: electioncord.com/charta/

I wouldn’t vote for El-Sayed, but at some level senate Dems need to throw leftists a bone in some way to avoid nominating a DAC-like candidate in a swing state in a more neutral environment. They can’t just do nothing.

2028 Dem primary favorables among Dems Blorbo: +95 Glup Shitto: +93 AOC: +93 Kamala Harris: +93 Pete: +91 Newsom: +87 Rahm Emanuel: +30

Rob sand is more boring than Andy Beshear, and he’s going to (probably) win the Iowa gubernatorial race. Worth keeping track of

Something even more interesting on this. Biden was at -15 approvals nationally on Eday 2022, but his approvals were better in (most) swing states MI: -3 PA: -7 WI: -7 NV: -9 AZ: -14 NC: -13 The lone exception? Georgia where he was at -17

IN addition to our new Tabula America maps, we are announcing a contest relating to the maps! The contest is to design maps of each state + DC in DRA/Redistricter, and the one we deem to be the most unique/interesting will get added to the Tabula America maps! Rules/how to enter is below ⬇️

Why does Kansas have a Democratic governor and why is Iowa likely-ish to elect one? Bc the Republican governors were insane and induced a localized economic collapse.

NOW OUT: Our biggest project ever, Tabula America Genus and Suffragium are now out! Two maps that combined, can tell you practically everything about the US as a whole through demographics and election results. Genus: electioncord.com/genus/ Suffragium: electioncord.com/suffragium/ More 👇

Great opportunity to use the upcoming @electioncord.com maps...Schumer and Gillibrand have hemorrhaged crossover support in upstate New York. This is because of moderates being less electable?

what's happened here?

Releasing tomorrow 👀

Saw some people dooming about NV primary turnout somehow (yall never cease to amaze me). But look at the material NV is a fully closed primary 2018: 2P reg D+6, turnout was D+1 2022: 2P reg D+4.4, turnout R+13 2026: 2P reg R+0.3, turnout R+0.4* (so far) better relative turnout for Ds than 2018

Another day, another Weigel engagement bait post

Here's the spreadsheet BTW, just to show our work docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This may be flawed logic, but there are clear comparisons between the turnout in the General Election for Governor in 2018 and the Primary for this year. So we decided to map each county by how much vote is in in 2026 compared to 2018... In theory, a lot of vote left!

Using @electioncord.com's very helpful mapping tool, you can categorize parts of Utah by ticket splitting and find that...the Mormon parts are where Curtis outran the top of the ticket by 20-25%. So, it's going to take a while to knock out that downballot lag.

Wow. This clearly went very well for the nrsc right?

Trump isn’t covering up for Epstein. He’s covering up for Trump.

Ok but you need to admit this is more about optics than anything else

I mean the steelworkers union, deluzio, kaptur, etc all opposed the deal lol. You don’t have to like it and I agree with the rest of the tweet but saying “nobody wanted this” is a stretch. He’s being consistent with his pro union policies, for better or for worse

I don’t think anything made me sadder than the Casey loss

Many Senators have become disability rights advocates because of a personal connection. But Bob Casey Jr did so simply because he saw it as an extension of economic justice. He is about to give his farewell speech. @slooterman.bsky.social writes about his advocacy. 19thnews.org/2024/11/bob-...

@blockedfreq.bsky.social thoughts on meuser thinking of getting into pa gov?

Yeah Trump is great at playing both sides which is why candidates who emulate him fail

www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl... aw man

It’s funny how the media portrays Shapiro as probably being a super successful presidential candidate while ignoring the other Josh who actually might have done better than him given the fundamentals

Bizzaro for statewide office!

I love Facebook
