Ralston doesn't capitulate. Goes with .3% win for Kamala in NV.

Site crashed so we can't read how he got there.

The last few days he seems to point to her having to close on the high end of projections to win.

Should be fun reading when we can.

Here it is

quote:

President: I have been calling this The Unicorn Election because of the unusual voting patterns. It’s really hard to know what will happen with mail ballots and Election Day turnout with so many Republicans voting early. But here’s what I do know: Both sides – at least people who understand the data on both sides – believe this will be close. That’s because, if past is prologue in the mail-ballot era (last two cycles), tens of thousands of mail ballots will come in between now and Friday (the deadline). It’s a simple question: Can the Democrats catch up? It’s really a coin flip, and I know people on both sides who have analyzed the data who can’t decide. I have gone back and forth in my own head for days, my eyes glazing over with numbers and models and extrapolations. The key to this election has always been which way the non-major-party voters break because they have become the plurality in the state. They are going to make up 30 percent or so of the electorate and if they swing enough towards Harris, she will win Nevada. I think they will, and I’ll tell you why: Many people assume that with the GOP catching up to the Democrats in voter registration that the automatic voter registration plan pushed by Democrats that auto-registers people as nonpartisans (unless they choose a party) at the DMV had been a failure for the party. But I don’t think so. There are a lot of nonpartisans who are closet Democrats who were purposely registered by Democrat-aligned groups as nonpartisans. The machine knows who they are and will get them to vote. It will be just enough to overcome the Republican lead – along with women motivated by abortion and crossover votes that issue also will cause. I know some may think this reflects my well-known disdain for Trump, heart over data. But that is not so. I have often predicted against my own preferences; history does not lie. I just have a feeling she will catch up here, but I also believe – and please remember this – it will not be clear who won on Election Night here, so block out the nattering nabobs of election denialism. It’s going to be very, very close. Prediction: Harris, 48.5 percent; Trump 48.2 percent; others and None of These Candidates, 3.3 percent.

No way. Trump wins by 1-2%+. Can't wait for this hack to lose credibility, along with Selzer in Iowa.

Dude has made a case for how it's not good for democrats for weeks and then comes out with this He's a hard core liberal just doing what he can to keep the dem base from being demoralized and not voting on election day.

Hopes and dreams. Kamala winning independents by 11 points. Republicans still have a 43k lead today. Last week he said Democrats needed to get that number to 20k on election day to have a "chance". That number is still at 43k today and he still picked her He is a fraud

Dude has drug this along for nearly 24 hours to essentially say a set of statistical annomalies would need to occur for her to win by .3%.

Either him and Selzer will go down as absolute legends, are 2 respected people threw their reputations away for essentially nothing. Party over self like the good little commies the Democrats are.

This is scary not because he's predicting Kamala to win, but because of the method he is predicting with which she will ultimately surpass Trump.

There will be blood if the election plays out in this "Red Mirage" manner again.

that forecast and all of the others are not just based on early voting data, but also on historical experience, my sources on both sides and, yes, my gut

He also admits he doesn’t want to retire on a shitty race, he wants to try to affect the race in other words in a way he thinks is moral

He calls twitter “muskland” and downplay the early voting by saying he went off gut instinct

He’s a fraud

He's just drinking copium and I don't believe there's a way back for Kamala unless there's something sinister occurring

Ralston's post was a garbled mess full of wishcasting and venom against Republicans. Did he get into his son's hormone blockers?

This would be surprising, but if Trump steals PA it doesn't matter.

I think in this instance he is essentially claiming there’s some hidden vote that’s gonna barely put democrats over the finish line.

It isn’t data based at all and goes against what he’s been saying the last couple weeks.

Either he’s wrong and just trying to keep the base motivated to vote or he thinks there really will be some votes found at the 11th hour. Which isn’t a fun thought to have

Let's say he is right. Nevada went for Biden and Clinton by 2.4%. A 2 point swing in the other states, and Trump wins.

The msm is saying vote counting doesn’t stop there for like 4 days after the race and there will be lawyers all over NV

May have something to do with it

Ya, it's 3 days which is Friday. That's for mailed ballots to arrive.

This is absurd. Nevada needs to clean this shite up.
quote:

I can see from top to bottom that races could go either way, but I have decided to trust the Reid Machine that has not lost for four consecutive presidential cycles and will somehow get enough ballots turned in during the next few days to do what it always does
quote:

That’s because, if past is prologue in the mail-ballot era (last two cycles), tens of thousands of mail ballots will come in between now and Friday (the deadline).

I just have a feeling she will catch up
IOW, he hopes they can manufacture enough mail-ins by Friday! fricking Friday!!!!
