The Wellington Hotel in London, United KingdomData for Democrats: A talk by Obama's data whiz David Shor
With the primaries just around the corner, every day seems to bring a new poll on which candidates on winning and which candidates are trailing behind. But are the polls really accurate? Does the data behind our these polls actually tell us anything about voters' real intentions and the major cultural shifts that are underway?
Join us on January 19th to hear from a man who can answer some of those questions: David Shor. As a young whiz on Obama's data analytics team in 2012 election, he predicted the results within 1 percentage point in all 50 states. Shor honed his skills in algorithms and polling working with Nate Silver, and today he works at Civis Analytics as the Head of Political Data Science.
Short will reflect on the successes and failures of polling during the 2016 and 2018 elections. Hear about how data analytics is evolving to better reflect a public that is more cautious and yet more digitally engaged. He will explain how Democratic campaigns can leverage data science to help us win in 2020.
A bit more about David Shor here.

Please note that this event is CLOSED to the press.

Morpeth Arms in London, United KingdomYoung Dems Politics and Pints - London
Save the date and put your new year’s resolutions into action by coming out to meet your fellow Young Dems for our ritual Politics & Pints! We come together to meet fellow Young Dems abroad, to network and - naturally- to talk politics over some pints.
2020 will be a huge election year, and now is the time to start getting involved to help us get out the youth vote! London is home to thousands of American students and we need your help to get them aware of their right to vote from abroad, and to get them registered.
Want to get updates from us on how you can get involved in 2020? Say hello to us at youngdems@democratsabroad.org.uk

December 07, 2019read moreAhead of the Global Presidential Primary in March 2020, we'd like to build a community of DA members throughout the country, so that when the time comes for us to vote, we're ready and mobilized. Already we've heard from members in Berkshire, South Wales, and the Cotswolds. We're working to put together groups in these areas. We'll help you to provide organizing support from our Voter Registration and GOTV teams and explain the Global Presidential Primary in detail. Email vice-chair@democratsabroad.org.uk for more information.
