It was great writing the voter registration report with the fabulous team of @sysilviakim, @MichaelLMorse, and @pettigrew_stats with help with @jongr1, @stark_talk, and Katie Steele from @PennPORES. Long story short, so much research on voter registration is needed.

A change in PA laws & rise in mail voting led many to worry about "naked" ballots being disqualified in 2020. Daniel Hopkins, @mieuque, & Kira Wang of @Penn looked at how things actually shook out: bit.ly/3zlqce7 @PennPORES
