         After Representative Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement of Tiffany Caban in the Queens DA Democratic primary, how might her performance in her 2018 primary upset help the Caban campaign?

      <title>House Model Consensus Trend Visualization</title>
      <link>https://www.benjrosenblatt.com/house-model-consensus-trend</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
                  
  Using the House Model Consensus data put together by Jason Pipkin (@jipkin), I've compiled a visualization to show how House modeling changes day-by-day.

                &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    The slider on top of the visualization changes the entire visualization based on the day listed. It currently goes as far back as October 22nd.
  
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
  The map above shows each congressional district shaded based on Democratic likelihood to win. The interactive legend and House Model Consensus Ratings bar chart and pie chart, however, are shaded into a qualitative ratings system. 
  
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
  If you click on any of the qualitative ratings in the Interactive Legend, the corresponding districts will be the only ones to appear on the map. If you click on the Tossup rating, for example, you can see how those seats break between a higher likelihood of a Democratic win or Republican win.
  
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
  The qualitative ratings system is organized accordingly:
  
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
      0 - 10% Dem Likelihood = Safe GOP
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
      10 - 25% Dem Likelihood = Likely GOP
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
      25 - 40% Dem Likelihood = Lean GOP
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
      40 - 60% Dem Likelihood = Tossup
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
      60 - 75% Dem Likelihood = Lean DEM
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
      75 - 90% Dem Likelihood = Likely DEM
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
      90 - 100% Dem Likelihood = Safe DEM
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  
                  
  The House Consensus Model is a combination of the following models: CNN; DDHQ/0ptimus; Noah Rudnick's Model; The Crosstab; 538 Lite Version; 538 Classic Version; and 538 Deluxe Version.

      <title>New York State Senate Primaries 2018</title>
      <link>https://www.benjrosenblatt.com/new-york-state-senate-primaries</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    Below is an interactive dashboard of the State Senate 2018 primaries between IDC members/Sen. Dilan/Sen. Felder versus their challenger(s) in NYC only. Three precinct maps are available: a results map, a vote density map (circles represent total votes in each precinct), and a size of lead/margin map (circles represent each precinct winner's vote margin). 
  
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
  In addition, a dropdown menu is available at the top of each map section that allows you to select all Senate Districts or to choose one. The map and resulting vote breakdown bar and chart (which show the same data in different ways) will alter accordingly.
  
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
  You can also click on any box in the Interactive Legend to see only the corresponding results and the map and vote breakdowns will also update accordingly.
  
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
  I hope to have additional updated maps showing precinct-level results for these races in the IDC districts in Westchester, Rockland, Oneida, Onondaga, and Madison counties available soon!
