Today on Highway to Hill: The midterms are just a handful of weeks away, and that means it’s time to bring in the big guns (if the guns you are interested in are smart data analysis). We are so lucky to be joined this week by David Nir. David is the publisher of The Downballot, which is absolutely required reading if you’re an election nerd like we are. The Downballot is a nonpartisan source of information and analysis for the thousands of elections that take place below the presidency, from Senate to city council. David also co-hosts The Downballot podcast with David Beard.
