@Popehat A lot of what I learned was that you prefer federal court. A good compliment was to listen to the 538 podcast on the subject.

I just discovered that FiveThirtyEight stopped maintaining its sports forecasts back in June. I cared way more about its sports coverage than its political coverage. Now I'm sad. ☹️

FiveThirtyEight has a new story about how Sean McElwee, the founder of progressive polling firm Data For Progress, was forced out of the think tank in December after several post-midterm scandals. He was frequently betting on elections and issues polled on by the firm and received donations from and regularly advised Sam Bankman-Fried.

fivethirtyeight.com/features/h

FiveThirtyEight found no evidence that McElwee manipulated Data For Progress's polls for financial benefit but his well-documented public history of betting on politics have earned him permanent personal ban from the polling aggregator. Polls from the restructured Data For Progress will remain in the aggregator.

More on the Nikki Haley bid. The podcast analyses her chances. They see them as very slim, but are divided on whether she could be the future of the party if Biden wins again. fivethirtyeight.com/features/p ping @JenX

This analysis of the polls and the model for the is a really interesting look at how even presentation of 'statistical data' is a kind of storytelling.
The debate is over whether media and polls wrongly predicted a 'red wave'.
Nate Silver says here that getting the wrong impression is because social media has made it 'all vibes' but I think the need to frame information in narratives is a far older and more basic tendency. fivethirtyeight.com/features/p

 “This is an existential threat to FiveThirtyEight. If he refuses to make significant reforms and changes the political elite should move on to other sources to get information about polling.”

Agreed, but they won't change because they're biased for Republicans.
