Ok, I get VA now. They didn’t start with their absentee votes, they reported today’s results. They are about to dump the absentee votes now.

From James Lindsey:
"Looks like the Latino vote went for Trump, and the Latinx vote went for Biden"

Trafalgar’s numbers are looking on point across the board.

What are they?
They did FL well.
They only have a 75% accuracy rate in calling elections, which is why Nate rates them a C- (IIRC).

If Trump pulls this out, a lot of pollsters, including Nate, are going to look like idiots.

Nate isn't a pollster. He just builds models based on polls.
But people won't make that distinction and think he's an idiot anyway.

But my question stands -
Does Trafalgar really have the special sauce? Or do they lean Republican so if you only look at how they did during republican upsets they look prescient?

Don’t know... But their numbers matched in 16 and they seem to be matching up this time pretty well...

I have found that I have been more interested in the House and Senate races. So far the GOP is doing really well it looks like. Collins, McConnell and Graham are all winners, and those were seats the Dems spent a LOT of money on. In House races they poured money in my district and the one next to it and are still losing.
How are things going in your states' house/senate races?

GOP for sure but if Trump wins can you ever read Nate Silver with a straight face again? It would be like reading the manifesto of a dangerous mind.

Obviously they lean GOP. But is that all they got? Or do they do it intelligently so there are not too many false positives? Nate says they've got a 75% record which is kind of poor.
Also, see my reply to Jolly.

Looks like Fox is disabling some of their odd meters.
Major fail overall for them.
