According to my estimates of U.S. Census data and information revealed in a recent Stanford study, 24.76 million Black and Latino people are missing or listed with incorrect information in the voter databases sold by vendors, making them unreachable. While 40 percent of Black and Latino people are essentially invisible, only 18 percent of white people are missing or mislisted, according to the study.”

Finding these millions of missing Black and Latino voters could determine the outcome of the 2024 elections. In 2020, Joe Biden won battleground states like Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin by only 10,457, 11,779 and 20,682 votes.

Vendors supplement government voter registration lists with demographic data and consumer information, such as from credit bureaus. For voters, being missed perpetuates a cycle of exclusion from civic engagement; if they aren’t in the voter database, they won’t get contacted about an upcoming election. Incorrect data also distorts the algorithms that assign vote propensity scores. Traditional campaigns will not generally contact voters whom technology has categorized — correctly or incorrectly — as unlikely to vote.

These applications are, in part, manmade — which means human biases seep in. For example, in 2022, one machine learning company announced that it could predict the race or ethnicity of an individual using only their name and address. Can something as complex as race be predicted by two factors alone? In general, companies building and selling voter databases do not provide enough transparency to allow users to assess the racial or other biases that may have distorted their products.

"I would have not liked to have fallen on him and used my stick as a landing point." -Jamie Benn on his crosscheck on Mark Stone Who the hell says that?  Such a dipshit.  The Department of Player Safety actually did something and got this one right. Two game suspension.  Where were they when Evander Kane should have gotten supplemental discipline?  Oh right, they want to remain consistently inconsistent.  Par for the course for the NHL.

Congrats on (probably) costing your team the series, Jamie Benn, you absolute bell

We live in the constant fear of what people think about us. If we are, in any way, disappointing them, but I think people usually want us to become someone who would profit them in some way or the other and in such a situation we'll have to choose if we want to become someone they want us to be or to become what we want to become.

don't feel like you have to respond to this if you don't want to but....what are your hottest, potentially cancellable takes on grid dynamics in the 2024 grid?

Dear lord I have a few. It's worth saying that @tsarinablogs and I are a hive mind at this point, so most stuff you see on either of our blogs we have communed about (and she's spoken about it a lot more than I have) but with great trepidation and no real desire to elaborate further:

Max and Charles are a lot closer than they let on. Not best friends, but I'm talking probably have drinks once a month, they're too familiar with each other to just be coworkers

Not really grid dynamics, but Charles travels Monaco on a scooter with a nondescript helmet for when he doesn't want to be spotted

Charles and Carlos are the fakest friends you've ever seen but even they get convinced by their own mind games sometimes

Lando likes being friends with a world champion a lot more than he likes being friends with Max

Max likes Lando a lot more than Lando likes Max

Max and Daniel aren't close at all anymore

Carlos and Lando do play it up for the bit but they are genuinely close friends

Pierre and Esteban definitely attempted reciprocal murder at some point in the last year

Charles and Pierre's friendship wouldn't work if Pierre was a better driver

Charles can be traced back to a lot more of the drama than people think

Only drivers that Charles, Lewis, Max truly respect on the grid are each other (Fernando is in a special category that does not permeate our understanding of respect)

George is only tolerable if you let him think he's the smartest person in the room

I have more, but these are the ones off the top of my head.

morgan rielly should be suspended, there’s no question about that. however, getting an in-person hearing with dops when you’re a first time offender with a clean history (like the spezza situation a few years back) is kind of ridiculous. considering this season, we’ve had: gallagher getting a phone hearing when he lifted his elbow (5-game suspension), dillon getting a phone hearing for an illegal check to the head (3-game suspension) and trouba full on baseball swinging his stick at someone’s head ($5000 fine)…it just doesn’t seem like there is much consistency with the dpos
