Controlling for party affiliation within the context of a negative ad campaign would've yielded much more interesting results. In all but Wisconsin, this paragraph in particular almost seems counter to their argument with back-of-napkin controls:
> In Georgia, despite Black people constituting 32% of the population, they made up 61% of the ‘Deterrence’ category. In North Carolina, Black people are 22% of the population but were 46% of ‘Deterrence’. In Wisconsin, Black people constitute just 5.4% of the population but made up 17% of ‘Deterrence’.
- tome 6y agoRight, I too would like to see numbers controlled for party affiliation. I suspect it would look a bit more like this > In Georgia, despite Black people constituting 60% of Democratic voters, they made up 61% of the ‘Deterrence’ category. In North Carolina, Black people are 40% of the population of Democratic voters but were 46% of ‘Deterrence’. In Wisconsin, Black people constitute just 11% of the population of Democratic voters but made up 17% of ‘Deterrence’.
