1.13 Voting analysis work used as source for fact-checking
==========================================================
2021-01-20
With the political campaign in full steam, lots of numbers being
thrown around. I'm seeing data from my analysis ysed by almost all
involved parties, either officially or through their supporters (often,
they are "correct" in that they do not change the data, but misleading
because they present just a subset of the analysis).
There's something to be said about the trend towards "fact-checking
sites", and especially how they select the topics and how they source
their checks. That being said, my analysis was recently used
(

as such a source, which is interesting.
