It's been really fun working with so many amazing Michiganders to expand access to the vote while ensuring the integrity of elections. Really glad to see Michigan's efforts recognized again by @responsivegov.bsky.social with an A+!

A million times this
My grandfather, who I dearly loved, was a conservative Republican to his last days. But he was also always his own man. And he didn't whine.

I don't think I deserve credit for the observation that this era of increased polarization is correlated with the weakening of political parties (and other mass membership organizations). Is there good social science research on this?

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

Polls told us to expect vote-switching among Latinos. And indeed it seems key. But some of the persuasion effect comes out in turnout too. In most places, the drop in Dem votes was larger than the Trump hike, signs of both crossover & demoralized Ds. Voter files will help here.
