    Jon Ralston is one of the very few who can meaningfully interpret early voter data. Has an excellent record of making election predictions up & down ballot in Nevada:

    He says this is the hardest presidential election he’s ever made a prediction for but he thinks Harris will edge out Nevada.

    Definitely a bit worried bout tomorrow, but pretty optimistic..I think Harris wins, just hoping it's not particularly close.

    But Trump's got a shot, as crazy as that is..Dunno how anyone can pay attention and still support him. He's been even more embarrassing and dangerous than usual lately.

    Im not in the business of election predictions but *if* Harris wins, I think it’ll look something like this:

    The odds of a good size electoral vote win either way once all votes are counted is fairly high imo

    Your map isn't any more yours than mine is mine with your parakeet a---. Difference is I unqualifiedly stand by my prediction:
    And when I'm right I'll absolutely be running your brown nose in it. Daddy wpg won't save you this time, migrant.

    In 2016 Hillary Clinton received 3 million more votes than Trump.

    In 2020 Joe Biden received 7 million more votes than Trump.


    Regardless of what happens tomorrow we need to get rid of the Electoral College. An archaic system created to help slavery that doesn't help us and never has.

    One citizen, one vote.

    Nor am I, but I always like seeing people's predictions and it's kinda a fun exercise even tho the stakes are high lol. I ultimately landed on same as you but NC and GA flipped, I was going back and forth on those two.

    I’m so sorry I’m not willing to make an absolute certain prediction about one of the closest presidential elections in modern U.S. history (perhaps the closest re: polling).

    if you’re so certain, go put up a large sum of money on it.

    An unlikely outcome but more likely this election cycle compared to others: if Harris loses the popular vote but wins the electoral college it would be absolutely hilarious.

    That's just it, you didn't make one at all. What kind of prediction is "she will win by this much if she wins"? You qualified it in such a way that nobody could say that you were wrong one way or another. You didn't even have the balls to put a % on it lol. Are you 90% sure Harris wins? 80%? 70%? Probably not even 60%, so why don't you just admit you have no f---ing idea you pretentuous little snot.
