270-267.

Nate Silver must think Maine #2 is in play.

If AlaMaine is in play, Trump is a dead man walking…..and I’m worried this will be Harris 270 Trump 268 or Trump 276 Harris 262.

It's probably just rounding error. Nate doesn't try to predict outcomes. He tries to predict EVs.

Ummm

Make it make sense. Looks to me like his model is broken

No, no. You'd see the same thing at 538. It means that there's a much bigger chance of a Kamala blowout than a Trump one.

In the 538 simulation, 1 out of 1000 times, Trump wins with 447 EV, once at 399 and 2 at 382. Meanwhile, there are 20 simulations that give Kamala 400 EVs. It's probably because TX and FL are more in reach for Kamala than NY or CA are for Trump.

Verrrrry interesting. I was born in 1973, the year that Roe V. Wade was decided. Prior the past several years, it was completely inconceivable to me that abortion wouldn't be legal in America. Perhaps some of the women older than me remember the struggle for women's rights prior to RvW... and the women younger than me are feeling the loss. Remember the women's marches after Trump was elected? Sounds like they're showing up at the ballot box, and maybe they're bringing their aunts, grandmothers and/or daughters with them. Meanwhile Trump and Vance have been parading around the bro-verse forgetting that we are in a post-Me Too era, where "whether they like it or not" doesn't fly. Hmmm. Maybe there is hope on Tuesday after all...

You would think if you have the best chance to win you would actually end up with the most electoral votes

Basketball player 1: scores in three consecutive games 14 14 16
Basketball player 2: scores in three consecutive games 10 12 27

If we define "winning" as scoring more points than the other player in a game, Player 1 wins twice (14>10, 14>12).
But 2 averages more points per game.

Also it might as well be 50/50

And that's using hedging polls so it makes sense that it's split
 
Not so much a poll but I think something will happen tomorrow night that will make the outcome of the election clearer.

UNC plays Elon. Elon shares the name of one of Trump’s biggest backers, Elon Musk. UNC wears blue, the color of the Democratic Party. If UNC beats Elon, then Kamala beats Trump.
