On this episode we’re joined by Jeff Singer. Jeff is managing editor of The Downballot, a reader-supported newsletter that covers thousands of elections other than the presidency- everything from senate to legislature to attorney general and secretary of state, district attorney and city council.

It also calculates the results of the presidential election in every congressional district and produces data sets so people can evaluate elections themselves.

Jeff was a writer and editor at Daily Kos, a progressive news site, for 10 years prior to this. He’s a graduate of Tulane University.

Jeff talked about The Downballot's function in the journalistic ecosphere, why he loves covering elections, no matter the type, and shared other resources that are important to following election coverage.

Jeff's Salute: Inside Elections and NOLA.com for election coverage.
