In a state with a lot of Hispanic voters, it might be the exact opposite! If there's acquiescence bias toward Hispanic ID in our surveys, and we weight it *down* to the census, then we'd have too few Hispanics! — PolitiTweet.org

Now, extend this problem to the rest of the US, where voters don't say their race when they register. Our voter file based race variables elsewhere are weaker: they're modeled, not self-reported But if we weight to census targets, will we be biased toward Dems--and not know it? — PolitiTweet.org

I've been struggling with this question all year, and my inclination, though it may be controversial, is to avoid weighting on self-reported race unless it just falls well beyond plausibility, including in states without self-reported race on the file. — PolitiTweet.org
