Usa, nell’election day si sono tenuti una serie di quesiti referendari che hanno dato esiti a volte controversi. Il caso della schiavitù in Louisiana e della libertà di culto in Arkansas.
California went to the polls on Tuesday, November 8. While only three of 52 U.S. House races in the state were competitive and Democratic party control of the legislature was never in doubt, the election nevertheless brought plenty of drama and high rates of campaign spending. Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent hoping to nudge votes on ballot measures. Voters were going to the polls in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs, scandals in Los Angeles, and ongoing state debates over homelessness and affordable housing, gas prices, and crime, among other issues. What message did California voters send? Join Dr. Melissa Michelson, coauthor of Governing California in the 21st Century, as she talks about the results of the midterm elections in California, including statewide races, local races, and state propositions.
1. We must rethink how we use—& how others use—polling data
2. The youth vote matters. A lot.
3. The press needs to do more reporting & less predicting.
4. The threat to democracy lives on. A LOT of election-deniers were elected.
5. The Democratic state Secs of State who were elected matter MUCH. Republican denier Secs of State can bring our political system down
6. Our strongest guardrails are people—even more than institutions. That’s both good & bad.

Way to show up Michiganders! Turns out Trumpism isn’t a great base to build your platform on.
Might be an interesting day to listen to the most recent episode of the “Now & Then” podcast on how polling has often been used to *shape* elections more than to reflect probable voting patterns.
What should we make of political polls? Are they to be trusted? And why are Americans so interested in measuring public opinion? This week on Now & Then, Heather Cox Richardson and Joanne Freeman discuss the history of polling in the United States, from the informal tavern visits by allies of Washington and Hamilton, to the rise of George Gallup, to the current polling discourse surrounding the midterm elections.
