Do you know if the polls you were adjusting had been weighted for the differing propensity for lying by party identification?

- mynegation 6y agoThey were not. The polls were weighted by age, gender, location, and (the lesson from 2016) level of education. Final 538 numbers did the additional weighting with past electoral results and registered party affiliation I believe. I took the numbers as weighted by pollera but without additional massage from FiveThirtyEight.
