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 · 30/09/2026Now with a proper preview card TheMerchRace.comthemerchrace.comThe Merch RaceVote head-to-head on the best Democratic campaign merch of 2026, and see which candidate runs the best store. 000
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 30/09/2026As you might know, I'm a sucker for a good piece of chaotic campaign merchandise. I'd originally planned to do a just a quick twitter thread of my favorites, but it rapidly evolved into this fun little side project. Please go vote (and buy your favorites) TheMerchRace.com 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 · 30/04/2026All DC local issues, ballots for the special, mayor, house rep. Also asked about a few stray bills including waymo, and Bowser/Pirro's domestic violence bill. Also some negatives against Janeese and Oye Owolewa 010

Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 21/04/2026If I bet on election outcomes, I would be buying Yes 6-9% for $0.17 on the site that must not be named. (It was 17 cents when I tweeted this originally. Its 24 cents now.) 010
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 21/04/2026Yeah it was 2 years ago, but my point stands. If you've been thinking about it for 2 years just do it 010
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 21/04/2026You should just do it already if you've been thinking about it for almost a decade! 111

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 · 14/04/2026Okay who else do I need to follow on this site as twitter becomes more and more useless? Looking for #F1 #Politics and just the general weird stuff that made older twitter delightful 130

Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 09/04/2026Yeah, makes sense. Didn't realize you had a trend on it. My thought was you end up getting people reflexively saying worse because of big money in elections. Maybe a split test next time. 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 · 24/07/2025I'm guessing someone on election Twitter had done this already, though I haven't seen it. I'm planning to do a bunch more analysis but want to do it in a coherent way, not as random tweets 110
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 23/07/2025Oh, this is great stuff. I'm glad to see it. I missed it when it came out. 130

Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 23/07/2025BOE published the raw CVR on their site this afternoon. I'm undecided if I'm broadly sharing my cleaned version, but definitely won't until I've written the longer piece I'm planning. But there isn't a technical reason you couldn't run something like that. 2110
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 23/07/2025After I'm done with my writeup, I can probably make my cleaned CVR available for something like this, even if I don't just post the whole file for anyone to use. 010
Jake Rubinstein @jlrube.jakerubinstein.com · 23/07/2025Yeah the CVR was posted at like 5. It's a pain to work with. Only reason I was so quick is I did it in 2021 and the spec didn't change vote.nyc/page/electio...vote.nycElection Results Summary | NYC Board of Elections 030
