Middleboro Review and so on

  I'm reaching out tonight to ask you for one dollar to support our work protecting the midterm elections through Operation: Vote Safe. Chip in $1 right now to help us protect the vote. DONATE $1 » $1 may not seem like much, but I’m here to tell you every single dollar makes a huge difference. This November, across multiple battleground states, this administration is counting on fear to keep voters home. Operation: Vote Safe is our plan to stop it — placing trained organizers and trusted community leaders on the ground, standing with voters so no one has to choose between their safety and their ballot. A movement like that isn't built by a handful of big checks. It's built by a grassroots movement of people giving what they can, when they can. If everyone reading this pitched in just one dollar, we would have the war chest we need to get folks on the ground and working in their communities well before Election Day. So this isn't really about the dollar. It's about h...

SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION!  GOV. JOSH SHAPIRO HAS WORKED TO PROTECT PENNSYLVANIA AND SPOKEN  OUT AGAINST DATA CENTERS THAT AS WE KNOW FAIL TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES!  ENERGY COSTS SKYROCKET, WATER IS SCARCE OR CONTAMINATED. THE AIR IS  POLLUTED FROM DIESEL GENERATORS AND THEY DON'T CREATE THE PROMISED  JOBS!        Folks, there is no more “preparing” for election season. It’s already here. In a matter of weeks, Pennsylvanians will begin to fill out their mail-in ballots. If that doesn’t sound like a lot of time to reach millions of voters — it’s not. We’ve got another issue too: Our fundraising has slowed down at the worst possible time, and we need at least 94 more individual donations to get back on track. Will you step up and become one of those 94 supporters we need before midnight? Listen, I’m not saying this to scare anybody. I’m saying it because each and every supporter deserves to know the full, unvarnished truth about the stakes...

How The Downballot reports on and analyzes polls Polling can be very useful, but we have strict requirements for what we will—and won’t—include David Nir Sep 8 From our earliest days more than two decades ago, election polls have always been of interest to us at The Downballot, since they can tell us a great deal about a given race and the electorate at large. But they also have their limitations, which is why we have strict requirements before we include a poll in our coverage. These are requirements we’ve adhered to for a long time and have written about before . The world of polling has changed a good deal since the last time we visited the topic in depth, though, so we felt an update was warranted. Below, we discuss each of our requirements, as well as other factors we take into account to best derive meaning from survey data. Requirements Pollster name Most pollsters have reputations, some good and some bad. Without knowing who conducted a poll, we have no way to place it in the c...
