66. No, it's not new to me at all
A great many people have pointed out to me that election integrity activists are accused of being "conspiracy theorists". They have also alleged that my own work has given aid and comfort to such people. I have tried to track down instances where my work has been used to feed the accusation. I have not found many examples, and where I have, I have, where possible, attempted to put the record straight. That was why I asked for examples.

And no, you can't do data analysis without data. That's why I asked for data.

I have no idea who coined the term "reluctant Bush responders". It's not in the Edison-Mitofsky evaluation document, and it's not the conclusion I drew from my own analyses. What was clear from the data was that selection bias, rather than non-response bias, was the more likely cause of at least a substantial proportion of the discrepancy.
