[EL] does anyone know how to see the new study by Run for Something

[Samuel S. Wang]

Dear Election Law list:

After some web searching, I believe I found the Run For Something study here:
https://runforsomething.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/RFSBlueLabs-Reverse-Coattails.pdf

It's got some major issues that need to be resolved. My preliminary thoughts are here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EsBiaCz0bPX2p7njHfyV4kckrrS54yga6lIpQhTcYFc/edit

I haven't decided what to do with these comments yet. Disseminate them? Or maybe it's just a case of "someone is wrong on the Internet":

the New York Times has a story about a study by Run for Something.  It shows that when Democrats in 2020 ran legislative candidates in hopeless districts, that helped boost Biden's vote total inside that legislative district.  The Run for Something website doesn't seem to have a link to the study, nor does it have contact information that I can find that would let me contact them to ask for the study.  Can anyone help?
