Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 01/10/2026First day* stats from TheMerchRace.com. I still can't believe this idea that started as a twitter thread of my favorite merch got so much engagement today! Please continue to vote for the best merch and share with your friends. Maybe even buy some of the stuff you see from the candidates. 000
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 20/05/2026I'm a ranked choice voting fan, but DC may have chosen the most absurd ranked choice counting method for a multi member district humanly possible. You really need to use a single transferable vote method for multi member districts. I would not be shocked if this leads to a rep on the council 012
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 14/05/2026Ah yes, the joys of DC police week. NJ cops with taped over license plates blocking bus lanes 031
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 24/04/2026The capital hill neighborhood is a weird place. Saw this on a new-ish toyota SUV this afternoon 100
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 21/04/2026I still think about this about 50% of the time I put something into the field 1243
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 20/04/2026Here, have a picture of my cat looking very offended 120
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 15/04/2026I need this but there is no financially sane way for me to get 1 box 110
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 09/04/2026I'd have preferred that they didn't clutter the question with so much detail, but this is still a surprisingly high number Source: www.uml.edu/Research/pub... 110
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 23/07/2025🧵 The data you have all been waiting for! The NYC mayoral primary WITHOUT batch elimination (and some early analysis) 1) Zohran's first round (469,642) would have been enough to win against Cuomo's final round (443,229) 8398100
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 21/07/2025Okay, I've got some questions about the region definitions in the new Suffolk Boston Mayoral Poll 082
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 15/07/2025No, there were only about 13k Wiley only voters. More so that Wiley voters ranked other folks who had already been eliminated (e.g. Stringer, Morales, and Donovan) 000
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 15/07/2025At the moment no, because I'm in the middle of reworking my code to prep for 2025. But NYCCFB reports there were about 125k bullet voters for mayor and about half of those were for Adams This is an older table I ran on most common ballots which is also helpful context here. 110
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 15/07/2025Did you ever wonder what the 2021 NYC mayoral looked like as a Sankey Diagram? Well, wait no longer 7326
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 30/06/2025I tried to think where I might have seen a similar pattern and know I have data. Only example I thought of is Obama 08 in GA. We saw Black turnout surge more traditionally, white turnout was also up, but Black surged more. But Black share of the electorate was only up 5pp 100
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 05/06/2025Jeez, Cuomo really did suggest Obama was Shucking and Jiving 020
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 28/05/2025This is an incredible burn rate without any TV spending from Kraft. Wu is much closer to normal for this part of the year, and had cash on hand already. 000
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 03/05/2025Chunk Norris is cheering for Chunk of Gold in the Derby because they have the same first name 010
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 02/05/2025Incredible. It appears as though I was right and they needed to form a PAC. The ironic part, is the only reason I even looked closer is because they threw shade at David Ortiz 111
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 02/05/2025Incredible, over on the bird site the AntiWuCoaltion twitter account appears to have just fully admitted to violating campaign fiance laws 0304
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 02/05/2025Update! The AntiWuCoalition has removed their donation link. Glad they're working to be in compliance with the law. Free tip for whoever is running it, check with OCPF to see what you need to do be fully compliant They're the most useful agency in MA gov if you're proactive 021
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 02/05/2025Tim Scott pre-registering his chick-fil-a purchases is wild 030
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 01/05/2025It’s been a minute since I did MA campaign finance work, but I’m pretty sure that if you form an org to oppose a candidate and solicit contributions, you’re required to register with OCPF. It appears that “Bostonians Against Mayor Wu” hasn’t registered at all. 0122
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 25/04/2025🧵 Measuring knowledge is one of the hardest tasks in question writing, and this example shows how seemingly good questions can miss. This seems like a reasonable question: "Here are 4 definitions—which one is correct?" If you know the answer, great, click it and move on 1/7 122
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 24/04/2025I haven't seen a fresh NYC mayoral poll to QT recently, but since Zohran is running his first ads tonight, figured I'd re-up my series on "what the polls said at this point in 2021" Adams had started to pick up steam Wiley and Garcia were both still in single digits 000
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 10/04/2025Jews born on April 16th really have the worst luck over the next 1000 years. 011

Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 10/02/2025America has had it with these motherf----ing Chiefs in the motherf----ing Superbowl 021
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 29/01/2025It will be eternally funny to me that the last episode of the Talk Tuah podcast before the rug pull on the meme coin was "how to avoid getting cancelled". 011
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 28/01/2025Wait a second, does this mean that lesbian marriages (2 women) count double in census stats and gay marriage (2 men) don't count at all? 000
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 28/01/2025Getting a whole lot of sarcastic use out of this custom slack react today 010

Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 27/01/2025Okay, what is your record for how long you can make deepseek think about a prompt when DeepThink is turned on. I just hit 168 seconds! 000

Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 23/01/2025Doing some research today on the nutrition at Taco Bell (IYKYK). Decided to check out how many Calories Sarah McBride's insane order is. 🥁🥁🥁 2960 Calories. Which honestly, if you're very active and doing OMAD, is not insane. 120
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 22/01/2025Mirroring this series of posts Just updating this graphic with today's poll release showing Cuomo at 33%. Andrew Yang was still up substantially in a poll with a similar date. 010
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 22/01/2025Buried in the cross tabs of the bold decisions poll, half of Black voters say Cuomo is currently their first choice and 43% of Cuomo's 1st choice votes are from Black folks. Seems pretty clear to me, that if you want to stop Cuomo the route to doing that runs through Black voters 011
