Geoffrey Skelley, an elections analyst for FiveThirtyEight, has this column about the findings of a 2016 political science book, Independent Politics. The authors of the book did many social science experiments, and determined that 75% of people who identify as independent voters are actually strong supporters of one of the two major parties. The Skelley column doesn’t seem to have any new data, but was written to make the book’s findings better known. Thanks to PoliticalWire for the link.
Gee – any effect in those alleged *nonpartisan* members of gerrymander comms ???
NOOOO public PURGE lists.
As Gomer Pyle used to say “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!”
So in other words they’re just idiots that don’t know how to fill in a bubble or write their party’s name. Makes sense, most people are after all, utterly retarded.
ONLY BAN posters have IQs above 50 — esp in elections / conlaw ???
