We talked to dozens of political insiders to get their take on 25 up-and-coming young Dems, and what they have planned for the next generation of the party. My latest, for @NYMag with @MatthewStieb.

- I don't know if you all remember the "I Voted" sticker design contest for Ulster County that went viral and the internet all voted for this design but...it really did win, and they are using it for the current election: dailyfreeman.com/2022/10/30/ear…
- and speaking of...reddit's largest ivermectin fanboy sub has now been flooded with trolls posting memes mocking antivaxers (cc @oneunderscore__ )
- One couple at a voting station in Port Credit said they would rather not speak to American media. They then apologized three times.
- Over the last few months, I became somewhat obsessed with the story of Tina Peters, a county clerk in Colorado who was recently indicted on 10 counts for allegedly letting someone make copies of the election equipment hard drives for her county 🧵 1/8
- So Nancy Dubuc gets hired to try to sell VICE. Gets paid $1.5 M annually for five years. Peaces out. VICE goes bankrupt. Where is the accountability? Why are journalists getting laid off and CEOs getting off scot free?
- Replying to @KaleighRogersAnyway. Here's the story. I hope you're read it, and consider what it might mean for your community: fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-… 8/8
- One of the proudest career moments was when our small but mighty team at 538 spent months hand-collecting a database that identified the position of every single Republican nominee in the 2022 midterms on whether the 2020 election was stolen. 1/2
- So I know there's a lot more important news happening, but on the personal news front: I'm really thrilled to officially announce I've joined @FiveThirtyEight full time as a reporter.
- Replying to @KaleighRogersI think this story is important because it shows what is at stake when election officials believe a myth about widespread election fraud, a reality that could be more common as Big Lie believing candidates run for office big and small this year. 7/8
