since Texas doesn’t register by party, how is party ID determined? Are they looking at people who voted in a party primary and calling them an R or a D, as the case may be?
That seems to make sense, but just curious
TargetSmart has developed a proprietary partisanship classification model to determine the likely political affiliation of a voter. This predictive model is trained using survey data and incorporates various data points such as vote history, party affiliation (where available), consumer interests, and demographic information to make a prediction of how likely a person is to align with the Democratic party. Those marked as Unaffiliated did not fall into a score range where we could make a confident prediction of affiliation.
The partisan model was constructed using over 56,000 survey respondents, both over the phone and online. Model scores are expressed from 0-100, representing the probability that a person identifies as a Democrat. The model was used to score over 256 million voting age persons nationwide.
This is the company that does NBC data.
If I were walking out of a polling place and someone was taking a survey... I’d lie to them because it is NoneYa.
I voted the first day of early voting. I wouldn’t trust mail in voting. I heard there is an FBI investigation in houston for vote harvesting in Harris County by Dallas Jones. Can’t verify it. Just tossing it out there
