Major correction re. MN numbers

NOTE: This was originally posted over at Daily Kos. I've since ported it over here for archival purposes.

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I've run into my first major data error (to my knowledge) in weeks.

Read the whole blog post for details, but the short version is that I had Minnesota up to 125K total (50K private, 75K public), when it turns out that those numbers should only be 19,420 and 33,759 respectively. It also means that last week's Minnesota numbers were wrong as well.

I've already corrected the spreadsheet; this means the total is 30,580 less than I had it last night.

My apologies for the error...which came on the same day that a White House representative apparently mentioned me by name on MSNBC this morning. Lovely.

Oh, I should note that I know I promised an update to the IA/NE numbers and how this relates to "off-exchange" enrollments, but between the Minnesota correction and the actual paying work that I'm way behind on (you know, my job and all...) that'll have to wait until later today (I hope).
