The guy does appear to have some credentials in analysis of election data:

Ben Davis

Ben Davis works in political data in Washington, DC. He worked on the data team for the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign and is an active member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

The Guardian is still my No. 1 daily go-to paper for news on coronavirus and international politics. They were my refuge in 2015/2016 and was the only paper I know of that called out Trump's lies during the election.

Don't know of any other English international paper that is left-leaning that covers such a wide range of subject matter.

Take a look at their opinion page today, there's not much there not to like IMHO.
