Latest results seem to show Biden is ahead, but at the same time it looks like Trump is going to win every other undecided state. Is that the case or are there other parameters to take into account?

      "Folks, the gig economy and gay people, it's tremendous! Rent control? Very unfair. It's a real shame, everyone's saying it. Controlling our rent, what's next, controlling our gay? Controlling our gigs? We have the most gay gigs, don't we folks?"

        In retrospect, Nate Silver might be my favorite grifter. He figured out how to get dumb, moneyed liberals to pay him and his company a shit ton to softly coo at them that they're going to win Texas. And he doesn't even really care that he's wrong, this is sport for him, it's academic. He just wants to tinker with his models to see what they'll say. Anyone who works with data will tell you that it's hard to get right, especially with the constantly moving target of US elections. But he just gets to keep doing it anyway.
