We are government professors and statisticians with the American Statistical Association and American Political Science Association. Ask us anything about post-election expectations.

UPDATE 1:Thanks for all of your questions so far! We will be concluding at 12:30pm, so please send in any last-minute Qs!

UPDATE 2 : Hey, r/politics, thanks for participating! We're signing off for now, but we'll be on the lookout for additional questions.

We're Dr. Jonathan Auerbach, Dr. David Lublin, and Dr. Veronica Reyna, and we're excited to answer your questions about everything that's happened since last week's election. Feel free to ask us about what to expect throughout the rest of this process.

I'm Jonathan, and I'm the Science Policy Fellow with the American Statistical Association, the world's largest community of statisticians. I've worked on political campaigns at the local, state, and federal level, and coauthored several papers on statistics and public policy—most recently on election prediction and election security. I received my Ph.D. in statistics from Columbia University, where I created and taught the class Statistics for Activists. Ask me anything about the role statistics plays in our elections—or public policy in general.

I'm David, and I'm a Professor of Government at American University. I'm also the co-chair of the American Political Science Association's Election Assistance Taskforce, a non-partisan cohort of political scientists that's focused on encouraging participation and providing a broader understanding for issues related to voting. I like to study and write about how the rules of the political game shape outcomes, especially for minority representation, both in the U.S. and around the world. My three books, Minority Rules, The Republican South, and The Paradox of Representation all make excellent holiday gifts or doorstops. I love maps and traveling to places near and far. Ask me anything about gerrymandering, minority politics, judicial challenges to this election, and why democracy in the U.S. faces ongoing serious challenges.

I'm Veronica, and I'm a Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Government at Houston Community College, as well as the Director at the Center for Civic Engagement. I'm also a colleague of David's on APSA's Election Assistance Taskforce. I currently teach American Government, Texas Government, and Mexican American/Latinx Politics. Topics of forthcoming publications include benefits and ethical issues of community engaged research and teaching research methodologies in community college. Ask me anything about political science education, youth mobilization and participation, Latino politics, or justice issues like voter suppression.
