==FAQ==
==States considered competitive/swing==
===How does it work?===
The model calculates how likely a state is to vote for a candidate based on several factors:
*The average "base odds" for a state, calculated using five different forecast models (Cook, Sabato, RCP, FiveThirtyEight, and JHK Forecasts) as well as Polymarket's betting odds.
*Most recent 10 polls, including approval rating polls of the current president, favorability polls of the incumbent president, Democratic nominee, and Republican nominee, and state-by-state match-up polls.
*Historic Senate, House, and Presidential results going back to 1992, which help factor in emerging trends and partisan shifts.
*Historic polling errors within the state
*Presidential Primary turnout in the state

The state is ran through 10,000 election simulations using the "Monte Carlo" method.

===Is it accurate?===
Nope!

===Why is there no chance of a electoral college tie?===
The simulator currently marks any electoral college "tie" as a Trump victory, as the House of Representatives is majority Republican and thus will vote for Donald Trump should an electoral college tie occur.

====Overall statistics====
==FAQ==
*Final electoral votes:
===How does it work?===
**'''Joe Biden''': 290 electoral votes
The model calculates how likely a state is to vote for a candidate based on several factors:
**'''Donald Trump''': 248 electoral votes
*The average base odds for a state, calculated using five different forecast models (Cook, Sabato, RCP, FiveThirtyEight, and JHK Forecasts) as well as Polymarket's betting odds.
*Most recent 10 polls from at least a "B-rated" pollster, including approval rating polls of the current president, favorability polls of the incumbent president, Democratic nominee, and Republican nominee, and state-by-state match-up polls.
*Historic Senate and Presidential results going back to 1992, as well as factoring in emerging trends and historic partisan shifts.
*Presidential Primary turnout.


These are then ran through 10,000 simulations using the "Monte Carlo" method.
*Average electoral votes per 10,000 simulations:
**'''Joe Biden''': 279 electoral votes
**'''Donald Trump''': 259 electoral votes


*2020 actual:
===Is it accurate?===
**'''Joe Biden''': 306 electoral votes
I have no idea lol
**'''Donald Trump''': 232 electoral votes

*Odds of winning electoral college:
**'''Joe Biden''': 59.76%
**'''Donald Trump''': 39.47%

*Odds of winning popular vote:
**'''Joe Biden''': 99.2%
**'''Donald Trump''': 0.8%

The model predicted 49 out of 50 states correctly in the 2020 election, predicting only the state of Georgia wrong.

FAQ

How does it work?

The model calculates how likely a state is to vote for a candidate based on several factors:

  • The average "base odds" for a state, calculated using five different forecast models (Cook, Sabato, RCP, FiveThirtyEight, and JHK Forecasts) as well as Polymarket's betting odds.
  • Most recent 10 polls, including approval rating polls of the current president, favorability polls of the incumbent president, Democratic nominee, and Republican nominee, and state-by-state match-up polls.
  • Historic Senate, House, and Presidential results going back to 1992, which help factor in emerging trends and partisan shifts.
  • Historic polling errors within the state
  • Presidential Primary turnout in the state

The state is ran through 10,000 election simulations using the "Monte Carlo" method.

Is it accurate?

Nope!

Why is there no chance of a electoral college tie?

The simulator currently marks any electoral college "tie" as a Trump victory, as the House of Representatives is majority Republican and thus will vote for Donald Trump should an electoral college tie occur.
