PUNCHING ABOVE WEIGHT CLASS

We were pleased and a bit surprised to see Oakland Confidential appearing as a reference in a recent piece  in FiveThirtyEight (538), a polling aggregation website launched years ago by noted polling analyst Nate Silver. In 2010 538 became a licensed feature of The New York Times and was then acquired in 2013 by ESPN. The Oakland Confidential cameo was as a credited source in a piece detailing by state the names of election deniers running for office in the November 8 general election, including in Oakland County races.
