Anyone shocked has never met a Jew...
"The #survey found that 67 percent of #Jewish #voters plan to back a #Democratic #Congressional #candidate in the November #elections; 26% plan to vote #Republican, and the remainder were undecided.
The #publicopinion research company #GBAOStrategies carried out the #poll on behalf of the nonprofit #JewishVotersResourceCenter.
The poll also found broad disapproval of the #Trump administration. Three-quarters of Jewish voters disapprove of #US #President #DonaldTrump’s performance as president and 82% have an unfavorable view of #VicePresident #JDVance.
The survey found that #Jews’ top priorities were #costofliving and affordability at 37%; the future of #democracy, 36%; #antisemitism, 25%; #healthcare, 18%; and #Israel, 16%.
A vast majority — 89% — said they were concerned about antisemitism in the US, and 71% said they were emotionally attached to Israel.
Respondents also reported disapproval of the #Netanyahu coalition..."

_Voter suppression_
“The process of being denied their right to vote was such a negative experience that they would not reengage with the voting process at future elections. Many reported being extremely upset, embarrassed, humiliated or angry when they couldn’t vote, to a much greater degree than one might expect, given most people view voting as a relatively mundane activity.”
The academics recommend introducing “attestation” or “vouching”, where voters with permitted ID can attest to another voter’s identity at the polling station, allowing them to still cast a ballot when an official declaration is signed in the polling station.

This crystallized something for me. We all know that low-info voters could swing most any election if they woke up. But:
Many of us "[D]on’t understand how most people actually learn about politics … [they] avoid politics entirely. The only way they absorb it is ambiently, through a health influencer, a podcast, or the sports they watch. That is exactly where Musk is spending money now, & Democrats have nothing running to counter it …"

PsyPost: Are AI chatbots a threat to democracy? New study explores their persuasive power. “Two survey experiments comparing the cost-effectiveness of using LLM chatbots to persuade voters estimated that LLM-based persuasion costs $48 to $75 per voter, versus $100 for traditional methods, while being equally persuasive. However, they also found that traditional methods currently scale more […]
