2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFor those getting rev'd up by Nate Silver's win probability, please keep something in mind...
Nate's second number is a vote percentage estimate of 50.9%. This is a close race and will be through the evening tomorrow. We still need to cast and fight for every vote.

(28,158 posts)For those, like myself, in red states. We've made calls, donated money, when we could and voted.
Now we wait. I hate the waiting.

(12,041 posts)The voter suppression efforts have been really blatant this year and people need to speak out if they see it. I think Obama would easily win if this was a fair election, the problem is this will not be a fair election. He will still most likely win but not without overcoming a lot of dirty tricks.

(7,968 posts)It is us now. We must do our job. Phone bank, vote and keep the election honest.
We will prevail if we stay focused right now.

(3,526 posts)...but just for fun, let's do a little exercise.
If 130 million people vote, as they did last year, each percentage point is equal to 1,300,000 votes. A win of 2-3 percentage points equals a margin of 2,600,000 to 3,900,000 votes.
