Today we are joined by Dave Trotter, an expert in voting behavior, electoral statistics, and forecasting. He has a Masters in Political science with a focus on voting behavior.

The original plan was to have a fast conversation so our poor editor didn’t have to work too hard but there was just so much to ask and learn about from Dave that it ended up being a longer conversation anyway.
Join us as we talk about the upcoming election, Dave make a number of predictions of outcomes, talks to us about voter behavior, and outlines to us HOW to read electoral polls.
