@davidshor @RyanDEnos @mattyglesias yeah, it's perfectly reasonable (i've written a lot about ballot exhaustion, to the consternation of RCV advocates) -- and i think the post-primary consolidation case is reasonable, as well. but it is the complicated way to look at it — PolitiTweet.org

@davidshor @RyanDEnos @mattyglesias idk whether exhausted ballots were decisive--palin was only winning second choices 64/36, after all, and that wouldn't cut it over 11k exhausted ballots. needed more like 3-to-1. i think the theory is stronger with a post-primary consolidation angle as well — PolitiTweet.org
