[EL] “Presidential Primary Voter Turnout at 30% with Republican Increases and Democratic Decline”

[Michael McDonald]

A link to my VEP data used to compute the headline turnout rate can be
found by clicking through the tabs of the spreadsheet provided by FairVote:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uayHHRfD-4iqrha52NGMvgOmrqQ5LqrX3Oihl109Ea0/edit#gid=1560475088

FairVote has the added to the indignity by getting my website URL wrong.

Let's be clear: The headline would not be possible without me. Few people
are going to click through to see the source of the data. This sort of
attribution does not conform with the required attribution I post on my
website:

http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/faq/permission

The New York Times, Washington Post, and 538 - among others - are generous
with attribution when they use my data. I work with organizations like the
Non-Profit Voter Engagement Network to produce similar reports, and they
also are generous with attribution. Rob Richie (nor anyone else at
FairVote) never even reached out to me about the report, something just
common decency dictates.

I expect an apology and prominent placement of attribution on any materials
FairVote generates from my VEP data.
