KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE One of the most useful tools that the Crystal Ball employs on a regular basis is Dave’s Redistricting App, which helps us make sense of redistricting and includes a plethora of data. Using some of DRA’s newly-released data, we are looking back at how the 2008 election compares to 2020 by congressional district. Despite doing several points worse nationally than Barack Obama did in 2008, Joe Biden performed better than Obama in nearly half (211) of the current 435 House districts. Our home state of Virginia illustrates several of the broader national swings that have taken hold since 2008. Most districts cast more raw votes in 2020 than they did in 2008, though there are some interesting exceptions.

SALT LAKE CITY After Gov. Gary Herbert declared a new state of emergency in early November to battle a rising tide of coronavirus cases, Utah s public colleges and universities were instructed to develop a plan to test all in-person students for the virus at least once a week.
But under a new plan released earlier this week by the Utah System of Higher Education, that requirement is gone. Rather, students will all be tested when the semester begins, and then the institutions will conduct randomized surveillance testing and testing of symptomatic students after that.
The new plan was developed after the state released an updated Public Health Order in mid-December that removed a requirement for college and university students to be tested at least once every 14 days. The testing plan applies to students who live in on-campus housing or are taking at least one class in person this semester.
