    There’s an important difference between knowing something and being able to demonstrate it. It might seem obvious to us, but if we wanted to convince someone who doesn’t agree, we at least have something external to corroborate the claim.

    The exercise also strengthens my own knowledge with details I didn’t have before. For example, I had a feeling that there were plenty of CA Republicans that like Medicaid, but now I know roughly how many and that in fact, they were polled specifically about their preference for the program.

      I was mainly referring to the “this has nothing to do with fraud” part. I should have been more explicit. The rest is great data from good research. That part I applaud.
