https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/both-candidates-might-fall-short-of-270-electoral-votes-on-election-night-but-how-close-might-they-get/

This is a new thread in relation to the actual election votes. I will unlock it on the day. In the meantime, I've included fivethirtyeight's report about what might get counted meaningfully on the (US) night of the polls - and what you might reasonably take from those results, hour by hour.

Here's fivethirtyeight's conclusion:

Quote:
In total, if we stick to just the states where we are expected to get quick projections and where we are confident we know what those projections will be, Biden would have 192 electoral votes at this point and Trump would have 119. So it’s very possible that we will go to bed not knowing who has won the presidential election. Of course, it’s also possible that, if either Biden or Trump does better than we expect them to, they will win enough states on election night to be formally declared the winner.

Even if not, though, states like Florida where we think we’ll get results quickly but where both candidates have a shot will be strong indicators of who is on track to win. So even if we don’t have a winner on election night, that doesn’t mean we won’t have a pretty good idea.


Of course, 270 electoral votes are required to remain or become President, so, in substance, the prediction is, in substance, that - if the polls are in the ballpark - we won't know the outcome on the Tuesday night (Wednesday morning, AEDT).

Here's another helpful and unbiased but reasonably detailed explanation about the numbers - and the unknown unknowns - from fivethirtyeight. Despite the folksy title, it addresses much much more than that.

Here’s fivethirtyeight’s final forecast: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/

At their close, they had Trump a 10% chance of winning, on the polling.

Let's hope the global economy wrecker gets moved on so we don't have to keep paying for his mistakes.

First, you vote in a reality TV clown and malignant narcissist with a trail of debt and bankruptcy. Then, you watch him flounder like a halfwit to protect his image as a pandemic sweeps the country. Then, you endure the resulting economic collapse and suffering as hundreds of thousands of people die.

Finally, you man up and correct your monumentally reckless and negligent error, having reflected on the time you failed to do this when you voted for wrecker George W. for a second time.

Too close the call at this time. 50:50 chance.
My hunch fwiw is a Biden win, running away.
Trump needs a miracle to win but he has done this before.
