Maybe I’m just guilty of glass half full thinking but this seems right to me. So many of the red counties are in and there is so much blue to be counted.

I’m not seeing why CNN seems to be saying Jones should start feeling nervous.

Predictit has Moore down to 17 cents? Did the site crash again or something?

exactly. if nyt is only using raw county data, it is really skewed. you have to drill down to the precinct, and it's not clear that they did.

Looks like Nate was right about Mobile

Guys, Remember. If Jones wins, that means Trump backed Strange and lost. Then he backed Moore and lost again.
12-12-2017 , 10:45 PM
Mobile is 50% black, that ain't Trump country
12-12-2017 , 10:45 PM
nyt at jones +2.1 and 62% of winning

(jones +11 still in play)
12-12-2017 , 10:45 PM
Ugh, NYT estimate down to 62%

Last edited by eyebooger; 12-12-2017 at 10:46 PM. Reason: Pony also at 62%

Not really.

No way NYT model is right
12-12-2017 , 10:46 PM
What bothers me about the NYT needle is that with 65% of precincts fully reporting, the model still has a range of 22 points (Jones +12 to Moore +10).

Even a poll of a few dozen random people on the street might not have that big of a margin of error.
12-12-2017 , 10:46 PM
Definite trolling.
12-12-2017 , 10:46 PM
Nearly every red county at 100% reporting or close to it.

A lot of blue counties yet to be counted.

And if Moore wins, here’s a sarcastic congrats to you on supporting a lunatic who had sexual relations with 14 year olds when he was in his 30s! MAGA

NYT ****ing us again?

If NYT isn't using precinct level data in their stupid tracker I'm done with them forever.

NYT did this **** last year too, no clue why you guys are really watching it
