@sbmitche Sorry.😡

The Journeys in World Politics NSF grant just got cancelled 😡 😡

The 2024 Survey of the Performance of American Elections has arrived. The 2020 partisan split over confidence in state election administration is mostly gone in the battleground states, but still persists in solid red/blue states + state w/ lots of mail ballots.

@HollyAnnGarnett @FulbrightPrgrm @SAISHopkins Yay!!!!!

Headed to Washington DC Jan-May '25 as a @FulbrightPrgrm Research Chair at the @SAISHopkins - so putting it out there that I would love to meet with any democracy assistance orgs, come to workshops/conferences, or hear about any other fun academic things going on while I'm there!

Something from my friend, Michael Bitzer.

@bcburden I can see how that will be a problem here as well. But voter check-in is a separate step from stating your address, but if you have a different address especially say, with a college address, I can see it being an issue.

At the polling place I’m observing there’s surprising confusion among some poll workers about the distinction between proof of residence (to register) and ID (to vote)

@GaddieWindage @chriscooperwcu Too old?

@chriscooperwcu Reporter asked me about the prospect of Cooper from NC as a vp nominee. I said I had his # and would let them ask you directly . . .

Welp, for the first time in my life, I'm glad I didn't go on that long bike ride I had planned for this afternoon.

@hamelpolisci @apsrjournal Sound fascinating!

I’m excited to share two new papers — both recently accepted! 1️⃣ @apsrjournal: do new policies only affect election outcomes when the benefits come straight from government? It appears so! rb.gy/4plrpg

Do not miss this report...

@vj_judson Looking forward to seeing it!

I am pleased to announce our upcoming presentation at #esra2024. My colleagues Matt Kim, Larry Czeponis, and I will discuss our analysis of private election funds during the 2020 election. We look forward to the opportunity to share our insights in CA this summer!

@stephaniepuello Excellent to hear! Congrats!

Put this on your reading list for the week:

The call for papers for the 2024 Election Science, Reform, and Administration conference has been posted. Registration isn't open yet, but you can sign up to be notified. esra-conference.org/2024-conference

The number of unaffiliated voters requesting a mail ballot in NC during January for the pres'l primary has now exceeded the number requested in all of Jan. '20. I'm assuming these are mostly people wanting to vote for Haley, but I could be wrong.

@CountDownDave2 @WriterNatSwift @TheaLanden I’m a convert, let me tell you!

@WriterNatSwift @TheaLanden

@JaclynPiatak @stephaniepuello It was fun and awarded teaching! We all went!

@stephaniepuello We used to have a big event for our university teaching awards that was like a wedding! But COVID and now budgets...

@wxbrad @xcliex Dude! Last year you said we’d never have snow again in Charlotte. What gives?

@xcliex yes please check out my Winter Forecast from a few weeks back wcnc.com/search?q=winte…

It's been 669 days since Charlotte has had measurable snowfall. By far the longest streak on record, so bad that number 2 on the list is 428 days. #cltwx #ncwx #snOMG

@bcburden You sound like you have a problem with cats…

My students sometimes think a 1,000-word paper is daunting but I just saw a post on NextDoor that long. It was one sentence. About a cat.

Academics! This very exciting new initiative includes an academic grant program that is currently OPEN for applications. But--the window to submit your letter of intent is closing NOVEMBER 20! Check it out and apply today:

@cstewartiii Thanks Charles for the tip!!!! I have cited you (just a little bit!!!!) and I always put “Stewart” but part of me wonders!!!

As someone cursed with a "III" after his name, I ask you to follow all the stylebooks & refer to us in citations as "last name, year" not "last name III, year." The same applies to people with Jr. & Sr. It's King, Martin Luther, Jr., not King Jr., Martin Luther... That is all.
