Do you want them to not make any predictions until voting is over or what?

Beacon , 6 months ago

Yes, that is what we want.

Catoblepas , 6 months ago

OK, good luck with that.

rockSlayer , 6 months ago

That would be an improvement

YES (no predictions)

Honestly there should be zero results posted until all votes are counted. Counting as they come in influences later voters, especially in western time zones.

I thought there was an election in the not too distant past where the news declared a winner before Hawaii even finished voting.

I disagree with the "no predictions" part, but fully 100% agree with not releasing any results until all votes are tallied.

spankmonkey , 6 months ago

What would they base predictions on without results?

JackbyDev , 5 months ago

Tallying the votes makes the results though.

She was predicted to win the popular vote....

And she did.

Looking at statewide polling and a lot of battleground states were coinflips.

The problem was anyone mentioning that got screeched at for wanting trump to win....

She was predicted to win the popular vote…And she did.

But this article is saying it's based on the EC,

Nate Silver's latest forecast now gives Vice President Kamala Harris a slight edge in the Electoral College
The model shows Harris securing 271 Electoral College votes to Trump's 267.

That is too close. I hate that it's that close.

I want her to get over 350... over 400 even.

abff08f4813c , 6 months ago

Hey, same here. And you know what? There's hope - at least one pollster is predicting a major blowout for Harris, https://app.vantagedatahouse.com/analysis/TheBlowoutNoOneSeesComing-1

I really didn't think she'd fuck it up this much.

The last three elections have been like Brewster's Millions where it's like the Dem is trying to lose.
