...we don't find evidence that people with felony records overwhelmingly identify as Dems.
Although we do find that ppl with felony records are more likely to identify as Dems compared to the general population, demographics and local political context are considerably more salient.

The congressman who represents my hometown district in southern MN wants to know what Canada plans to do to control the smoke from their wildfires so it doesn't put a damper on Minnesota's cabin season.
It's entitlement and grievance all the way down.

This is what I do. I have an upper-level class that includes writing several analytical op-eds through the semester, and I've been requiring they use Google docs for the last year. It's worked really well, though I sometimes have to remind them to share them with editor permissions.

Figured keeping my account on twitter to reserve my username (albeit after deleting all my tweets) isn't any different than reserving my username on 4chan or stormfront.

Also got this letter, so I hopped onto studentaid.gov to see which plan I should switch to since SAVE was blocked (I wouldn't get PSLF credit for the next year if I don't switch).
It suggested the SAVE plan.
And now it keeps giving me errors when I try to switch.
Thanks, Joe.

Nothing like ol' USPS to screw up your field experiment by not delivering the last batch of your voter education mailers by Election Day (even though they were dropped off sorted and ready to go before the drop dead date over a week ago!)

The NE AG argued that only the pardon board (and not the leg) has the authority to restore voting rights, thus even the two year waiting period was unconstitutional.
The NE Supreme Court heard the case in August but has yet to release a decision (and boy are they dragging their feet).

States have moved toward more narrow disenfranchising restrictions over the last ten years, resulting in a significant decrease in the disenfranchised population over time. As in previous years, a plurality of the disenfranchised population are post-sentence.

Just did a YouGov survey that was focused on VP candidates, and this was one of the questions. (If you answer yes, it asks if it's a cat, a dog, or something else!)
