Sorely needed insight. Please consider publishing outside of a paywall. I understand the challenges for independent writers today, yet I'd really like for as many other Georgians to read this as possible and believe it could raise your profile quite a bit. (After all, the votes tell us there are many of us out there looking at the paper and scoffing each time Abrams makes a headline.) On a more personal level I would enjoy if she was made to be aware of your piece.
Great piece, and I’m looking forward to the next in the series. I like the focus on modern politicians, but I’d also be interested on a piece on Debs or Bryan, if you think there’s more to say there.
Incredibly interesting and insightful piece. One thing that has been puzzling me: why was Abrams able to outrun the other statewide Democrats in 2018 (besides Barrow)? Funding or the salience of the Governor's race? And the same question for Carolyn Bourdeaux and Lucy McBath since both seemed to run more persuasion-based campaigns and were well-funded. My guess is downballot lag?
The black turnout in the 2020 election was 1,443,264, and the share of black voters was 28.9%. In the 2016 election there were 1,242,568 black voters and their share of the vote was 28.6%. Source:
Hey man—I saw your tweet about "some guy" Franz Ferdinand. Weird question but I once had the exact same lecture slide in a history class. Any chance it was 250-2 at Northwestern taught by Immerwahr?

That call into Richey's show reminds me of Peter Russo's radio call in House of Cards.
This is an incredible story, well told, great job! Also infuriating. Will be passing it on. Glad to be a subscriber and looking forward to more.
WRT Beto vs Laxalt, which one was “born for this”!? :D
Other than the accidental run-off date error. This is quite good and I can't wait for the art of losing: Beto.

Fantastic read. First time paying for a substack, zero regrets. Thank you.

There was also an increase in turnout of young voters and AAPI voters.
