Senate Map Tuesday 08/30/2016

Hi all,

I know you were all wondering where the Senate map was yesterday and I apologize for that. I will excuse myself by saying I am working on something very interesting that I am hoping to unveil here first! I'm not sure when I will be done with it and it will likely remain a work in progress for awhile, however I will try to get some initial version of it published as soon as possible.

And now let's get on to the main event, this week's Senate map.

Electoral Map Friday 08/26/2016

Hi all,

Long time, no see. I know this is late, but here is my update on the electoral map after this rather odd week.

Changes: 

Ohio- From Neutral to Lean Democratic

Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District- From Lean Republican to Neutral

A moment of nonsense

Hi all,

So without further ado, here is my first Senate Projection:

Electoral Map Friday 08/19/2016

Hi all,

I am introducing the first feature of this blog: electoral map Friday. As it sounds, I plan on posting an electoral map of the current standings in the Presidential race every Friday from now to the general election. The map will be based on current polling, electoral history, the news of the week and include my own analysis on the state of the race and key battlegrounds.

 I also plan on making a similar map of Senate races, although that will be in a separate later post.

So without further ado, here is our first electoral map:

Welcome!

Hi all,

I am starting this blog on politics (mainly American and Israeli, with a bit of focus on other miscellaneous topics) to muse on current affairs and craft a platform for practicing political writing. In the past I have written for the British youth magazine Agora, the Medium-based Eastern Project, the Ohio State undergraduate student international affairs magazine The Algerian, as well as a blogging account on the Times of Israel.
