@NiskanenCenter @j_kalla @cantstopkevin & more high quality candidates, like those endorsed by newspapers, are still winning at high rates & getting more votes; it's just been obscured by mostly uncompetitive elections:

I will now start labeling new political science research with the #polisciresearch hashtag in the hopes that it leads to more coordination & research sharing.
#SocSciResearch will still be available for the archive & my tweets of non-polisci papers.
Thanks @dhopkins1776

Thanks @dhopkins1776
I will try to do a regular #polisciresearch search & boost new papers.
Please tweet your summaries, even if I've already linked.
My advice is to tweet Findings Not Topics, even if they are descriptive or summaries of literatures & even when you expand in a tweet thread below.
