    The model in the image you linked still looks basically monochrome …



    When I switched from Tusky to Fedilab it was largely driven by Fedilab’s superior support for multi-level nesting of long comment threads.



    It does give historical context that “they” use in the “likely <party>” polling forecasts, but the affiliation itself expires at the end of the calendar year of the primary. Not saying that the data can’t be used maliciously, but it’s legally different then what people mean when they talk about their voter registration having that information. States that have that on your voter registration are also likely to have closed primaries, which Texas does not.


    The affiliation is automatic when you tell the election official which primary you want to vote in, it’s not a separate action you have to take ahead of time like voter registration is. And it expires at the end of the same calendar year. It’s so you can only vote in a primary runoff if you voted in the original primary.


    Yes but that affiliation is automatic when you vote in a primary and expires at the end of that calendar year, to ensure you can only vote in a primary runoff if you voted in the original primary.



    Texas does not have party affiliation on the voter registration form or ID card, and we have open primaries.


    We don’t have party affiliation on the voter registration forms here though.



    Trump has been asking the DoJ about invoking the Insurrection Act over the immigrant “invasion” since, I believe, inauguration day. The escalation of ICE presence, activity, and tacticsay very well be an intentional effort to provoke a resistance that the DoJ would feel comfortable recommending invoking the Insurrection Act over.
