Two days after the election, and still little change. The Senate races in NV and AZ remain tossups, but the model continues to think that Democrats have a slight edge.

it's election day! we'll be running our (open-sourced) model on Senate, House, and governor races to provide context to raw vote counts.

The Washington Post’s lil in-app TikTok-like video scroll is my favorite new piece of journalism technology of the year. It’s such a smart and cool way to compel readers to actually engage with the app instead of TikTok or Instagram.

Excited to have contributed to @iarnsdorf's must-read piece. Thanks @anu_narayan for all the help analyzing Cawthorn's campaign expenses! #fec
