A piece I wrote on the 'protest vote bias': Three ways that an inclination to protest vote (to vote for a 3rd party with no chance or to not vote at all) could be due to cognitive errors www.pressherald.com?p=7367476&uu...

When you enter the voting booth on Election Day, boycotting the viable candidates isn’t going to help. Whether you like it or not, one of them is going to win.

Russia paying millions to right-wing US influencers isn't election deciding on its own. But Russia knows that. "If these violations of our laws and sovereignty don't swing the presidency they don't matter" is absurd. I break down how Russia's influence operations work in @thebulwark.bsky.social.

Not sure you want to see this :) but it's an interesting question and I was curious to work it out... Did it quickly but numbers are reasonable. Market implied probability that T loses popular vote given that he wins election is 58% (and that H loses pop vote given she wins election is 7.2%)
