We analyzed the major party statewide candidates for New Hampshire. When we plotted them - this may explain why we are hearing about ticket splitting in Hew Hampshire? These are two very different types of Republicans and two very different types of Democrats.
Thoughts?
So I think that the x-axis starts at far left moves to far right. And y-axis is most probable candidate the voter votes for. But yeah who knows really and they do it on purpose. To confuse on purpose. So people don't really understand even what they're seeing. Just another attempt to confuse the voters. To make it so the left and the right can look at the same graph and come to two different conclusions.
Because that's the American way today. As confusing as we can make it.
Apologies - the goal is not confusion and this generally looks better when a voter is only looking at the people on their own ballot. I posted the full state to learn from the discussion.
On the axis - we made this video a few years ago. We wanted to avoid the bias of using predefined axis as setting them in advance supposes that you know those are the most important dimensions and we wanted the data to determine the dimensions. Not claiming it is perfect, but that was the rationale for our approach.
So we let the algorithm determine which issues most differentiate voters - and those turned out to be economic (taxes, opportunity, spending) - and those make up the x axis. And then which issues next differentiated voters - and those turned out to be (individual rights, foreign policy, education, immigration) - and those make up the y axis.
As an old STEM student myself. I actually do appreciate the data. You can never have enough data. Honestly I wasn't trying to put down this study. I appreciate the hard work and commitment it took to produce it. Thank you.
Feedback & input is how we all make things better. Thanks for taking the time.
Yes. Many more in Hew Nampshire will be splitting tickets than usual.
The vagueness of this image and lack of a link to some detail make this post appear to be click bait.
Now this is the type of quality content I come to this sub for
Sununu is too popular with the democrats to lose. Hassan is on her way out
I don’t know single Democrat that likes Sununu or has ever liked him.
I mean you're half right. So unfortunately Sununu is probably is going to win. But I think it would take a miracle to see Hassan lose. Of course it's possible you are right. And I'm the one that has no clue.
Understand I might be just totally wrong. But I definitely see Sununu and maybe a few other Republicans winning as the highlights of election night for republicans.
That by Wednesday it's going to become clear that Republicans lose all over this country. That's my prediction I'm going to stick with it at least until Wednesday after the election.
Go VOTE!!!
Do you honestly believe that or do you hope thats the case? If its the former youre setting yourself up for lots of emotional distress.
Both it's just a guess. That's how I want it. if Republicans win I'll do what I did last time Republicans won and go to work.
The house looks to be won by the R at this point.
The senate is still highly contested. It could go either way.
How desperate. Trying to salvage a win for any democrat candidate?
I'm not splitting shit. The democrats have gone crazy. Worrying about social justice horseshit while the economy fails from their policies and actions is dumb.
You don't even CARE that the folks on fixed income won't be able to afford oil or food?
Voting republican. All the way down.
I was just curious - glad to hear your opinion!

I don't understand what that graphic is showing me. Labels on the X and Y axes would help.
