We should get our betting pools going…

Election Day. I’m willing to make a prediction. I know all the polls are even. My gut tells me Harris.

But my gut is certainly no prophet. Just a sewage tube full of gram negative bacteria.

Okay, I’ll go Trump wins convincingly enough that we know before 2AM. I think there will be at least 1 surprise state going for him, such as NH or maybe even Virginia. I think the total electorate is lower than 2020, and I’ll take the over on the Senate at 51.5.

I've had a feeling Harris will win, but I'm sure it's not based on anything substantial.

I had that feeling about Hillary.

And when she didn't it was wonderful.

Very, very wonderful

That's when I committed to Mr. Trump, he earned it.

I don't have a clue about President.

GOP keeps the Senate and the House. 52/48 and 224/211.

Does Harris get a pen and a phone?

Allegheny County will have counted their results Tuesday night. If Kamala is below 60%, it’s gonna be a very hard uphill climb for her.

She’s at 59 and it’s dropping.

Damn, I wish somebody would have taken me up on some of these bets!

[Horace]

If anybody thinks Harris still has a shot, they can get great odds in the betting markets. Bets are still open as far as I know.

I’m still confused, isn’t betting on elections in the US by US citizens illegal?

[Horace]

It's my understanding that a lot of above-board betting on the election has been going on.

Damn, Virginia almost gave me the surprise. As far as the rest, maybe I should go into political consulting…
