This is quite concerning and disturbing!
The Census Bureau says it found 24k noncitizens who voted in 2020. Here's the issue. It's hard match citizenship and voter records perfectly, especially when some records are missing SSNs. We cover it in today's substack: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/how-to-fake-a-voting-scandal
This is how you properly conduct a post-mortem analysis of a poll!
I have reanalyzed polling microdata from two surveys in Wisconsin, generously shared with me by State Navigate, and put the results up Strength In Numbers for all to learn from. As far as I know this is the only public autopsy from Tuesday's miss www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-08-13...
A pesquisa está registrada no TSE sob protocolo BR-06596/2026 e foi conduzida entre os dias 03 e 07 de agosto com 5.000 entrevistas. O relatório completo e press release podem ser encontrados no repositório do Github em: github.com/palverdata/p... [17/17]
2) Transparência total Para além da transparência metodológica, a Palver está colocando todo o código utilizado para produzir a pesquisa. E ainda se comprometem a divulgar os microdados depois das eleições, explicando inclusive o racional desse timeline. [5/17] github.com/palverdata/p...

Glad to see that the NYT (Nate Cohn) has finally decided to join the past vote weighting team! :) Their "synthetic past vote" approach is quite similar to what I've been advocating: using the voter file to reduce turnout overreporting. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...
