For the past week PredictIt has had it at 66%

2018-10-23 17:33:15 UTC  

I still don't know how Nate Silver comes up with the numbers he does

2018-10-23 17:33:39 UTC  

I'm no mean statistics guy, but his numbers don't seem to be based on anything

2018-10-23 17:34:13 UTC  

@Salo Saloson he has homemade mathematical models, they basically plug in polling data, demographics, how the place voted last time, into some kind of model that spits out his probabilities.

2018-10-23 17:34:23 UTC  

The models in theory are tested on data from prior elections

2018-10-23 17:34:39 UTC  

... I don't know how much faith I have in his models

2018-10-23 17:34:41 UTC  

historically democrats will rule the house

2018-10-23 17:34:43 UTC  

but I think it's around none

2018-10-23 17:35:17 UTC  

also historically republicans would've won the last election

2018-10-23 17:36:31 UTC  

The polls don't vary that much. It's a small share of the population that starts undecided and shrinks as the campaign goes on. Also, much of who wins is decided by the base's turnout, not swing voters

>tfw state doesn’t have early voting

2018-10-23 17:36:35 UTC  

Mad

2018-10-23 17:36:45 UTC  

@Procella Eques Let's hope the Trump phenomenon continues and he glitches the system once again...

2018-10-23 17:36:57 UTC  

Flying back from England the day before the election to go smash that vote in

2018-10-23 17:37:00 UTC  

No excuses fam

2018-10-23 17:37:22 UTC  

I'm getting my early vote in sometime this week

2018-10-23 17:37:24 UTC  

historically people tend to forget to vote in midterms

2018-10-23 17:37:30 UTC  

and the angry party wins out

2018-10-23 17:37:34 UTC  

not that I really trust my vote to change much

2018-10-23 17:37:42 UTC  

Definitely gonna bet on silvers odds after trump 😂

2018-10-23 17:37:44 UTC  

If you were a naive 20 year old and in Philadelphia on election night, you would have thought he was gonna lose.

2018-10-23 17:37:45 UTC  

everyone of you should vote

2018-10-23 17:37:48 UTC  

voting does matter

2018-10-23 17:38:23 UTC  

Not in Massachusetts

2018-10-23 17:38:32 UTC  

shhh, keep it down, don't let the minorities know

2018-10-23 17:38:33 UTC  

However blackpill any liberal friends you have on it

2018-10-23 17:39:23 UTC  

@johnnyc Are you in Greater Boston, or out west?

2018-10-23 17:39:36 UTC  

Boston

2018-10-23 17:39:58 UTC  

Our republicans are democrats

2018-10-23 17:41:00 UTC  

@johnnyc I vote in NYC just to troll the libs. My district went for Hillary 78%-19%. I'm just happy to show it's not 90%

2018-10-23 17:41:17 UTC  

Lol

2018-10-23 17:41:41 UTC  

I can technically vote in Polish elections

2018-10-23 17:41:50 UTC  

WHO IS THAT 19%?!?!?!

2018-10-23 17:41:51 UTC  

@Jacob you should

2018-10-23 17:41:53 UTC  

lol

2018-10-23 17:41:59 UTC  

<:teehee:381917632359563264>

2018-10-23 17:42:29 UTC  

I want to to, but my dad never got my Polish passport set up when I was younger. I could do it now, but I would have to fly to Los Angeles

2018-10-23 17:42:45 UTC  

I was honestly pretty pissed, because he essentially blocked my vote

2018-10-23 17:43:31 UTC  

I think Roman Dmowski was Piłsudski's rival who was more nationalistic

2018-10-23 17:44:17 UTC  

I know very little about polish history
