    Republicans hate Americans.

    I’m curious what, if any, measures have been put on the WVa ballot in the laser 10-15 years. Maybe there’s no history of referendums in WVA.


    • A total of 15 measures appeared on statewide ballots from 1996 through 2018.
    • From 1996 through 2018, an average of one measure appeared on the ballot during even-numbered years in West Virginia.
    • The number of measures appearing on even-year statewide ballots from 1996 through 2018 ranged from zero to three.
    • From 1996 through 2018, 73.33 percent (11 of 15) of statewide ballots were approved by voters, and 26.67 percent (4 of 15) were defeated.

    I think what she really needs is to provide a headline or context to what she's referencing. I think -- think -- this is projecting net partisan change in the composition of the House if only men voted or if only dads voted. But I'm not sure. I had to look at it for about five minutes before I made that leap, and it might be very wrong.

    Number 1, she made an arithmetic error ... Men in the poll are +9R, not +11. And the margin-of-error for the number she's reporting -- the difference since May -- is MASSIVE, way bigger than the MOE of this particular survey.
    Arcana aside, the numbers just don't make sense. The majority (60%-ish) of voting-age men are "dads," and the poll has "men" at +2D and "dads" at +9D, which only works if you assume that "men who aren't dads" are +8.5R. Along those lines ... in this most recent poll, 44% of "men" had voiced "approval" of the Supreme Court, and 45% of "dads" reported similarly. Squaring that with her wink wink nod nod implication is, as we might say, one hard dollar.

    I thought the +5 the Dems got in 1998 in the Clinton impeachment pregame was pretty impressive. Shit is about to get real in the hardcore abortion states.
