IOW, when it goes against either or both of these probabilities, they can claim not to have been wrong.

 

Pretty much this.  Silver has it good.

That he does. But, I think he does a good job at calling out pundits for their BS. 

Each year I care less and less about politics.  Each year I think I feel kinda better about feeling less and less about politics.

I love how you go over-the-top to make sure everyone knows you're a fucking idiot at all times.

Good.  At least i know i have you thinking I am an idiot.  

Should be fun to watch the liberal media again:  if D’s take the House, it will be a complete repudiation of Trump and all things they deem Trumpian --- misogyny, Nazism, racial bigotry, white Nationalism etc..etc..; if R’s keep the House, it will be because educated white women stayed home.  Same ole, same ole.

I think I will get a dozen chicken wings and fill up the growler with a good craft beer and sit back and watch it play out like the orchestrated propaganda that it is.

Just saw an exit poll question of “do you think we need more women representation in office” and it was of course lopsidedly high. But who’s going to say no and look like a sexist to a stranger? That’s a terrible question if you’re actually looking for useful information.

I would've said no out of spite. I like playing the heel in these matters.

Finally got a chance to vote tonight. Lady wearing a yard sign as a vest, asking everyone walking into the polling location if they want the list of all democrat candidates annoyed me. Also, finding the same list sitting in my voting booth was cool. When I put my ballot in the machine it registered an error because I didn't vote for every race, was supposed to kick the ballot back and allow me to click "Cast ballot". Ballot never came back so I'm not 100% sure my vote was even registered.

So, yeah, I love voting.

Is Illinois the only state where they don’t check IDs to vote? I brought my ID both this morning and for the presidential elections in ‘16 and neither time they asked to see my ID. 

I could have casted 500 votes today if I really wanted to.

All of that is against the law.  Should have complained....videoed it then send to Fox news.  

Voter suppression made up stories already coming out of Georgia. Some county didn’t make sure that they had charging cords and of course it is blamed on republicans. K

If the pubs wipe out the dems it will be this all night. Might even hear about Russia again

Va 10 already called.  D Jennifer Wexton beats R Comstock by a mile. That is the early bellweather for the night. 

Florida coming down to the wire (and the panhandle) again. 

Cruz down in Texas.....interesting.

Lol, no it's not. It's expected with the early vote. Beto will lose by 4 or so points.

It is looking like the Florida Gov and Senate go red.

Last update I see was 8:45 with Cruz up and only 1% reporting?

Braun winning Indiana is interesting.

Indiana goes Red on the Senate side. Looks like Donnelly vote on Kavanugh hurt him. That pretty much kills any chance the Ds had of taking the Senate. 

Missourri leaning red in senate also
