Motown Bombers Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 We should ignore the special elections, voter registration and early vote demographics and go with priors as in this is what's suppose to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Apparently the Nevada expert is already calling it for CCM due to the firewall built up in early vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll is probably an outlier, but it wouldn't be the first time this season where an outlet wrote an article looking to dismiss its own polling result.

romad1 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) One candidate on the ballot. Lines were smooth and steady. I saw a co-worker from work and shook his hand. He was working as a volunteer. I appreciated that he was ready to deal with the crazies coming for him just to make Democracy work.

mtutiger Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm not sure that starting from a conclusion and working backward is the most sound methodology when making race predictions. The background here being that they put Nevada into the blue column and, apparently, had to move PA to red to keep R number greater than 50. The Rs have a pretty good shot at winning the Senate, but forecasters in this cycle are making some weird decisions at times, and seemingly based on very little data. Or less than one would expect them to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choice between the incumbent Trump toady, Independent guy who quotes 2000 Mules and a retired Army colonel and former county official with an impressive resume. The election is baked, unfortunately unless the Independent somehow manages to take enough votes away from the incumbent which is unlikely. Voted by mail a few weeks ago..

Virginia with the off-off year elections definitely throws a wrench in things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm… sounds like our Iowa US senate race, except our colonel is a Navy admiral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of bizarre tbh As I think about it, maybe more likely than bizarre. After months and months of a Republicans-will-win narrative, should they be expected to have written an article yesterday saying, welp, guess we were wrong about tomorrow the whole time?

Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Florida is likely one of the first states to report results. I think Florida is going to be one of the few bad results for Democrats so better watch those ledges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
