2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumElection Forecast Summaries: 10/29 (afternoon)
From now until the election I'll post once or twice a day with these summaries. "p(RE)" means "probability of re-election," and is expressed in a scale from 0 to 1, so 0.937, for instance, means 93.7%. "unch" means unchanged from last report. Date of last update is given if at least one day old and if time of update is known.

Votamatic: O 332 (unch from 10/27)
University of Illinois U-C: O 291.4 (+0.4); p(RE)=0.949 (-.004)
Electoral-vote.com: O 280, R 235, T 23 (O-4, T+4)
Huffington Post: O 277, R 191, T 70 (R-15, T+15)
FiveThirtyEight: O 296.6 (+1.1); p(RE)=0.746 (unch)

...And Just For Laughs, UnSkewedPolls: O 179, R 359 (unch from 10/25) [/font] which means my bet with Dean Chambers is presently worth $2,352.00.

(3,003 posts)Romney may have only 191 electoral votes locked down, but it's not impossible for him to reach 270:
North Carolina (15)
Florida (29)
Virginia (13)
Ohio (18)
Colorado (9)
Those five states would give Romney 275 EV's. And if he pulls an upset in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Minnesota, all bets will be off.
