With King County results finalized, a few pearls. First, in Seattle, Broadmoor edged out the C/ID for the Trumpiest neighborhood. Still, the rest of the list shows class realignment. Much of South Seattle is now more R than Laurelhurst or Madison Park. 1/2 #waelex

WA Presidential results by city/town are also telling. D list has fewer working-class suburbs & Hispanic towns. Bainbridge Island, Mercer Island, and resort towns like White Salmon & Winthrop now top list. (Despite R swing in Native vote, Nespelem was #1 @ 46-2 Harris.) [2/2]

On Election Night, Seattle's most diverse neighborhoods were also its Trumpiest, with International District (30%) leading the way. Historically Republican Laurelhurst is down to 28th on the list. #waelex

Interactive map of the most recent precinct results in the Washington Lands Commissioner race. For King County, this means as of election night; in the rest, it's likely as of the last report (8/13 or 14 for many). Pull down Submap for 2nd/3rd/heatmaps cinycmaps.com/index.php/stat…

No one knows what's going to happen next, but I want to flag one thing in the (fundamentally flawed) questions asking voters about a hypothetical conviction: Biden's gains were among young, nonwhite, irregular, Dem-leaners nytimes.com/2024/05/30/upsho…

At least in our data, Biden excels among primary voters and still wins the midterm electorate, but gets pummeled among the most irregular voters who are typically underrepresented in political surveys.

Either a copy-paste accident, or this man is forming the least popular political party of all time

I don’t think I’ve ever read something comprehensive on the Democrats’ Parent Problem, but this is interesting. Putting it all together (caveat: just one survey) it seems like Democrats more specifically developed a “youngish non-white parent problem” in the last four years.
Replying to @DanRosenheck
Prob the most striking finding was that the 2nd-best predictor of being a Biden 2020/Trump 2024 swing voter (after being young) was being a non-white parent of a child under 18. V big effect size on a solid sample (2K weighted non-white parents, ~200 Biden-Trump flippers). 7/n

This thread is going around, and it's 90% wrong. First off, this is a random person's house, because @OutragePNW didn't pay attention. A thread. #waelex (1/n)

@OutragePNW could have exposed these real issues with WA's rolls. Instead, he posted a photo of some poor person's house because he misread the address of a homeless shelter. If you care about voting integrity, you deserve sources with integrity...not this stuff. (6/6)

I was late to the party here! The fantastic @Garrett_Archer already spotted these address issues. (From way beyond state lines! OutragePNW didn't need local knowledge to read "77 S Washington St" correctly. Just eyes...) x.com/Garrett_Archer/status/… (7/6)

This is both rage bait and a lie. The intended address is 77 S Washington St, Seattle, which is the address for the Compass Housing Alliance. One of its services is to provide people experiencing homelessness with a mailing address. Washington law allows this for registration.
