@balexanderstats And now 1 in 10. Thankfully at least it's taken six months for the last ~8m increase in cases, not one month.
BREAKING: A federal court has rejected Alabama’s request to move up the release of 2020 census redistricting data (still by 8/16) & stop Census Bureau plans to use differential privacy to keep people’s info in data confidential. A SCOTUS appeal is expected documentcloud.org/documents/2097…
Story revolves around #redistricting. #FairMaps #ralpol #NCGA #NCPol
And while it’s unlikely that anyone in Raleigh wants to push back the election, he said, it’s “likely they’re not going to have any choice.” #ralpol newsobserver.com/news/politics-…
One of my math professors once said that people struggle to comprehend large numbers. I think that’s part of the issue with covid data. It’s hard to comprehend we have almost lost 1 in 1000 Americans and at 1 in 20 have a confirmed infection, with many uncounted cases & deaths.
@mobyrat: Loved the season ending, but am left wondering whether the lessons helped with the speaking stamina issue as well.
@Yukinoguchi, an admittedly small business story idea: evidently sewing machine repair shops/people are overwhelmed with business. Thanks for your work. (Boola Boola '96)
Listened to this while running with the dog this morning. Interesting perspective on so-called conventional wisdom.
C'mon and raise up. @JimBlaine on the politics podcast chatting about his progressive upbringing, @SenSanders, and yes even confirmation bias.. #ncpol #ncga wunc.org/post/gop-opera…
@EsriStoryMaps @ArcGISStoryMaps not bad for my first cascade! Thanks for building and providing the tool!
This is some pretty awesome story telling @districks #ncga
Team 3 also kept black districts below 50% BVAP because the team’s African-American representative (Sen. Clark from NC) said not necessary for ability to elect. #NCSLredistricting #fairmaps #txlege 6/
@RedistrictNet Thanks for the kind words! Let me think about that (meaning posting the piece again) and get back to you ...
This investigation involved multiple days of geometry-crunching.
Could a North Carolina-like partisan #gerrymander be perpetrated on a national scale? What about in favor of Democrats? #FairMaps blog.districks.com/2019/01/22/a-n…
On the off chance that anyone involved in the #SCOTUS decision-making process happens to see this, my personal preference for the date for oral arguments in the #Rucho NC #gerrymandering case would be Monday, March 18. Thanks! 🙂#NCPol #FairMaps
A welcome development ...
North Carolina now has a non-profit exclusively focused on redistricting reform. ncredistrict.org
Looking forward to presenting today about mapmaking at the Austin Gerrymandering Workshop, part of the Geometry of Redistricting workshop cycle. #gerrymandr tinyurl.com/gerryTX
Planning to go to Greensboro tomorrow to attend the @CommonCause v Rucho partisan #gerrymandering trial.
We are just getting started. planscore.org
@Ruby Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll work on that!
