Read it. Understand the data plots. And tell me it doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth. If it doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth, tell me why.


Takes vote dumps in each state & plots ratios of Biden votes to Trump. Then draws three lines showing that if a data plot is above the line then it is in either the 95th percentile, 99th percentile, or 99.5th percentile. IOW, only one out of every two-hundred points are above it.

The study takes into account that large ballot dumps which heavily favor a candidate make sense, if there are also smaller ones which favor the candidate more. Seems logical. Larger data dumps should be smoother than smaller data dumps.

All states except MI/WI/GA are blue. Notice anything? Notice how the controversial and much needed dumps for Biden that happened in the wee hours of the morning in crucial states are the most unlikely of all data dumps?


Might say these were mail in ballots that were expected to heavily favor Biden. Why don't we see this in other states that weren't absolutely crucial to Biden's victory coming down the stretch? Why are these three states the most extreme? Why not heavy blue areas like NYC or SF?
Insane! The @washingtonpost editorial board attacks @revolvingdoorDC research file on Jeffrey Zients for being fair enough to include the positive purpose of Zients in government (seeking efficiency) & ignoring and ignoring... https://t.co/FSktDrjT6p (1/x)

how we found out about Zients' purchase of a surprise medical billing operation. (btw, "long term holdings" wannabe Berkshire Hathaway funds like Cranemere engage in EXTENSIVE due diligence, they knew what they were doing).

How do you write about @revolvingdoorDC criticism of Zients without taking into account Zeints' leading role in NorthStar Anesthesia? (3/x)


Does @DaHalperin maybe have some thoughts about Zients, the predatory for profit Kaplan college empire, and the Washington Post???? https://t.co/u7UIKAZ2bF (4/x)

What did NorthStar -- that Zients buddies at the Post Editorial Board think is unimportant -- do? During Cranemere's due diligence AND post-purchase, they engaged in surprise medical billing. (5/x)
Wonderfully refreshing
Lusk speaking about "the danger of Christians claiming privilege within the state and the persecution of Christians which that led to...
If you have a political system which gives privilege to Christians then that system have to define what a Christian is"


Paynter: "If Christians are pursuing political power, what ... they are essentially saying is that might makes right."

Lusk: 1/ "The basic problem w/a religious right is that it says that the state has been established by God to enforce law & all law has a religious basis."

Lusk: 2/ "And therefore whatever the state does must reflect a religious position. And therefore if there are diverse religious positions at work, then the inevitable result is that one will oppress the other."

Lusk: "To say we are post-Christian does not mean we are ex-Christian ... Although Christain belief is a small minority, certainly our culture, our values, our system- these are very much part of a Christian heritage and sensibility which is inherited."
Lack of confidence in this year's election outcome is a real problem--steadfastly ignored by too many. I've said *state legislators* are appropriate body to address fraud w/in their borders. Here's the promised longer thread on fraud. /1 #ElectoralCollege


Disclaimer: I am not taking “fraud happened” or “fraud didn’t happen” side. I am answering those who've asked me how fraud can be addressed in #ElectoralCollege if/when it occurs. In an earlier thread I said congressmen are limited in what they can do.


As a foundational matter: I believe the problems started this summer when Governors began unilaterally changing election procedures, without legislative input. This was wrong. STATE LEGISLATURES are responsible for election laws. /3 #ElectoralCollege

This truth holds especially true in pres’l elections. #ElectoralCollege looks to *state legislatures* to be responsible for their states. The buck always stops w/ state legislators. Thus, 1st mistake made by too many legislators was a failure to push back on Govs this summer. /4

We have THREE branches of government. Why have we ignored #RuleofLaw all year? Why are Govs creating law when that’s the legislature’s job? How unsurprising that people distrust the election outcome after months & months of thumbing our noses @ Rule of Law. /5 #ElectoralCollege
I want to echo Ibrahim’s welcome for this engagement with Syrians by @AnnaMcMorrin and @WayneDavid_MP.

At the same time I am overwhelmed with how far we are from where we need to be.

I have such a flood of thoughts, it is hard to know where to


One difficulty is having too much to say. Another is that so many of my thoughts are by now steeped in bitterness.

I think it is very important to say that Labour’s problems on Syria don’t begin and end with Jeremy Corbyn and his associates.

There is too much bitterness on Twitter, but I think I need to write a little on mine here, and how it colours my view.

This year’s anniversary of the Srebrenica Massacre comes to mind. Labour leader Keir Starmer marked it here:

Inevitably some couldn’t help think of Corbyn’s record of siding with mass murderers.

The month after came the anniversary of the Ghouta Massacre. I don’t believe Starmer mentioned it. I don’t think @lisanandy said anything about it either.
