Reed College Political Scientist at Director of the Elections & Voting Information Center (EVIC) Paul Gronke is "political sciencing" about #VoterTurnout and combatting #ElectionMisinformation about the 2024 #election via PolitiFact here. ⤵️
Sometimes you got to go back to Political Science 101. "Paul Gronke, a Reed College political science professor, said factors such as enthusiasm for the candidates, campaign efforts and an election’s competitiveness all affect voter turnout. "If the final results show that 20 million fewer votes were cast for the Democratic candidate for President in 2024 than in 2020, what that indicates is that 20 million voters made a decision not to cast a ballot, either not turn out at all, or not check the top contest," Gronke said. "That’s the end of the story." https://lnkd.in/gBENZ-9K
No, 20 million Democratic votes in 2024 didn’t ‘disappear’

Today I had a chance to work with data from the Portland ranked choice voting to explore what voters shared in their preferences. Overall, the races have been pretty stable as ranks are processed. Voters seemed to have three or four camps in some districts that limited the amount of substantial vote transfers. District 4 and the Mayor's race were surprisingly stable - with initial winners holding on to the end. More here on the Elections & Voting Information Center (EVIC) blog: https://lnkd.in/gDdFd3qa

We're sharing an important update on RCV data visualizations for the City of Portland, Oregon, from Elections & Voting Information Center (EVIC) Research Director Paul Manson, Research Assistant Professor at the Portland State University - Center for Public Service. Bottom line: More information coming this evening, November 6, around 6:30 pm Pacific. Visit our website - evic.reed.edu - for more info.
Research Assistant Professor, Center for Public Service Research Director, Elections & Voting Information Center
Later tonight, Multnomah County Elections Division will release new results for City of Portland races. I will post on Elections & Voting Information Center (EVIC) blog our first visualizations there. We noticed last night that the percent of ballots processed in time for the first preliminary results were lower than we felt comfortable presenting. Initially looking at those data though we found some promising patterns in terms of how voters were managing choices. District 1 results in particular seem to be made up of a lot of ballots that have not been processed yet. Preliminary results last night showed about 50% less total ballots in District 1 compared to the other districts. That gave us reason to pause on data analysis. Below is the results for the Mayor's race - which has more votes as a citywide race. Here we see the outsider Keith Wilson besting three sitting city commissioners. We will publish an update tonight around 6:30pm!
