Political scientist @ UW-Madison. Congress, political parties & money in politics.

Welp, the US Census's My Congressional District Tool appears to be down. My Congress class was able to look up demographic info about their districts this morning. If you try to retrieve info now it says "The data you requested is not currently available."

Really interesting discussion from
@pollsandvotes.bsky.social
showing college voting wards in Wisconsin. Modest Republican shift in university areas, suggesting possible modest student shift rightward.

The great
@pollsandvotes.bsky.social
providing the deep dive on Wisconsin 2024 election data. The figure on the right shows ward level change in vote share for Trump between 2020 and 2024. Only tiny shifts at the ward level: incredibly stable presidential vote choice in 2020 and 2024 in Wisconsin.

Prof. Bernard Fraga presenting "Shifting Right or Sitting Out? Black & Latino Voters: 2016-2024." Shows very large shift to GOP by Black men, continued shift to GOP by Latinos & Latinas. Some evidence of Democrats' base staying home in 2024.
