POP EMERGENCY! Court gets Trump Campaign On The Record To Promise Not To Intimidate Voters!

A court has gotten the Trump campaign on the record promising not to intimidate voters on Election Day. That is huge.

On Friday morning, a federal district court will hear arguments in a dispute between the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee over whether the RNC, the Trump campaign, and its allies are violating a long-standing consent decree barring the RNC from engaging in intimidation of minority voters at the polls. It’s not the only case being heard on an emergency basis this week: Democrats have filed suit against Donald Trump, Republican state parties, and Trump ally Roger Stone in the battleground states of Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In the Nevada suit, Stone has been ordered to explain at a separate Friday hearing what his questionable “Stop the Steal” organization is planning for Election Day.

But regardless of how these hearings go Friday, the lawsuits have already borne fruit by getting the campaign on the record with its plans and promises not to intimidate voters. In an important development on Thursday afternoon, the Trump campaign in response to the lawsuits sent an email to Nevada campaign workers describing for them what constitutes illegal harassment and what constitutes good behavior. By getting Trump on the record promising not to harass voters with its “ballot security” activities, the Democrats have significantly lessened the chances of Trump-driven voter intimidation on Election Day.

Democrats have also presented evidence of poll-watchers who said they are from the RNC, a claim that the RNC denies. (Among other things, the RNC says some of these people were working for a consultant hired by the RNC but not to do this particular kind of work.) On Wednesday, the RNC issued its response to a court order questioning its involvement in voter suppression efforts by basically having statements retracted from Trump running mate Mike Pence and campaign manger Kellyanne Conway that had suggested that the campaign and the RNC were working together to prevent voter fraud.

While it is true that we cannot discount the problem of Trump vigilantes, the suit has forced the RNC, state parties, and the Trump campaign to disclose their official plans. In the Nevada suit, for example, the morning after the court held an emergency hearing, the Trump campaign sent out an email to all those supporters who signed up to be poll-watchers in Nevada that carefully limits the circumstances in which they can try to challenge voters. All over the materials are calls for Trump supporters to avoid anything that looks like voter intimidation.

And it is not only the fact that the suit appears to have spurred the Trump campaign to warn against activities that might intimidate voters, which makes it a win. Getting the parties on record as saying they won’t engage in illegal activities is valuable in and of itself, because defendants know when they make such representations to the court, the court will not look charitably on them later if they don’t keep their word. So in a way, the Democrats have already won the fight to prevent voter intimidation on Election Day.

So this is why is model is so sensible when others are not. In order to take into account the undecided voters, the winner's advantage is shrunk down to pull both predictions towards the mean. It's not stupid but I think it is not weighted correctly.

The same people who say no to Sanders will at 82 will be the same folk who are still telling Madonna at 82 to stop.
