We have a New Working Paper on the political economy of politicians’ neighborhoods! We show that politicians live in richer neighborhoods and protect them from undesirable buildings and the removal of public goods. A thread 1/11, and the Paper: nottingham.ac.uk/research/gr…

.@beckerdavidj praises the election workers and volunteers who put in long hours to count ballots: "We won't know all of their names. It's too bad, because they are heroes of democracy." cbsnews.com/live-updates/202…

Paper is osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/bv….
Election aggregates and even polls are ambiguous wrt actual rate of ticket splitting. For anyone planning to work w/ election administrators to study this data in other states, I'd love to get in touch.

Congrats to @MichaelLMorse for PhD defense today -- Full of voter file, ballot image, and court records data, an engrossing three-party story of the Florida Amendment 4 bipartisan electoral coalition and the depths of fees and fines, disenfranchisement

I haven’t been tweeting much lately, but I have to thank the firefighters at @SFFDPIO. I woke up to this massive fire half a block away from my apartment—I could feel the heat from my window. Thankfully the firefighters kept it from spreading to the houses on my block.
Drone shot of the 5th alarm fire. It is sad to see the damage to these well established businesses in the #Mission Dist. @MLNow @LondonBreed

Things may have changed recently, but R and D sheriffs cooperated with ICE at similar rates--another highly salient, nationally contested enforcement choice

This analysis is really frustrating, and not something I would signed off on at @FiveThirtyEight. Let me try and go through some of the reasons why.

Let's stop with the BS... Voting by mail in large numbers (via absentee or all vote by mail) won't make a partisan difference. What it will do is help turnout stay up and keep folks safe. This seems like a win for everyone. cnn.com/world/live-news/coro…

I know things can escalate really quickly, but I didn't have a good sense of what to expect over the next week. So, I used country-level data on confirmed #COVID19 cases to generate a 7-day projection based on a simple time-series model: williammarble.co/blog/2020-0…

New article in the APSR evaluates prevalence of possible voting fraud. Based on a huge battery of evidence, it finds "Double voting is not currently carried out in such a systematic way that it presents a threat to the integrity of American elections." doi.org/10.1017/S00030554190…

I'm very pleased to announce a new journal that will be rolling out in 2020: the Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy. Or JPIPE.
It will be published by @now_publishers, who also publish the @qjps_editors.

Who put Trump in the White House? In this new paper w/ @justingrimmer, we document some surprising facts about the sources of Trump's support, including: Trump got fewer votes than Romney among the most racially conservative Americans.

Advocates of ranked choice voting (RCV, aka IRV, AV) say it reduces the incentive to vote strategically compared to plurality. Is that true? How should we answer this and other Qs about voting system properties? @TobiasNowacki and I have a new WP w/ some answers! 1/12

How partisan Is local law enforcement?
Less than you might think!
▪️D/R sheriffs comply with federal requests to detain unauthorized immigrants at the same rate.
▪️D/R sheriffs are less polarized than the public on immigration.
Cool work out today in the #APSR by @danmthomp

New working paper! Using actual web browsing histories from a YouGov sample, we present two new facts about how partisans consume political news. First, D’s and R’s both consume news from portal sites (like Yahoo). But exhibit segregation on other sites. dropbox.com/s/fqfzwycos052lc…

Linking Congressional candidates to the 1940 Census provides evidence that both barriers to entry and voter preference lead to economically unrepresentative candidates and representatives, from @danmthomp, @jamesfeigenbaum, @andrewbhall, and @jesselyoder nber.org/papers/w26156

We thank Johnson et al. for engaging with our critique. We still maintain their recent study is uninformative for the study of racial bias in policing, and that given the policy relevance of this topic, it is vital to correct the record. (1/N)
