The Sixth (!) Biennial Wordforge Election Prediction Thread

How about now

At a guess, he's among those waving "STOP THE STEAL!" signs while chanting Freddie [gay immigrant] Mercury's "We Are the Champions."

The only thing missing from their experience is Trump offering them free Orange Kool-Aid... with a kick. As long as he assures them it doesn't contain alcohol, they'll drink it.

President Donald J. Trump is playing the long game! He is he is he is! President Donald J. Trump is just waiting for the perfect moment to present his evidence of massive fraud! If I'm an obedient little puppy, maybe President Donald J. Trump will pat me on the head and tell me I'm a good boy!

He's a good boy. The best boy! Always brings back the neighbor's tennis ball, so I threw it under the bus.

Holy shit, I hit the nail on the fucking head. @tafkats, where is my prize?

The results:

Electors: 306 / 232
Senate: 50 / 50
House: 222 / 211
Buttar: 22.4%

So how are we counting the now-vacant House seats?

Oops.

LA-05 will count as Republican because that's who won, even though he died.

I'll run the numbers and see if NY-22 has the ability to affect the standings.

The results are known for all but one House race, and the winner of the 2020 Wordforge Election Prediction Contest is ...

@Rimjob Bob!



He achieved this herculean feat by being the closest on the presidential race (predicting 312 electoral votes for Biden), being the only contestant to correctly guess that the Senate would end up 50/50, and having the second-best House score (after silver medal winner @Demiurge).

The silver, as just mentioned, goes to @Demiurge, and the bronze goes to @Bailey.

The tiebreaker, which concerned Shahid Buttar, ended up being about as relevant as Buttar himself.

The complete standings (which will change in number if NY-22 flips to the Democrat, but not in order) are:

1. @Rimjob Bob: 22
2. @Demiurge: 34.7
3. @Bailey: 66.35
4. @Ancalagon: 71.05
5. @TheLonelySquire: 85.7
6. @Order2Chaos: 91.7
7. @Nova: 140.4
8. @Zombie: 219.5

Fun fact: All three medalists outperformed a hypothetical contestant based on the final FiveThirtyEight forecast.

We have a winner!

Don’t frack with the wisdom of Teh Rimjob.

Fuck yeah podium spot.

I demand photos of all three winners standing on the platform wearing their medals.

Fake news! I clearly won, bigly! We must march on... where the hell is the server, anyway?

Congrats Rimjob Bob!

Which are not words I thought I'd ever type at any point in my lifetime, lol. Still, good show, sir!

Thanks @tafkats for running this again.

Also, that hundo of rep only got me fourth?

I see how it is...

I was tempted to participate by dreams of glory, but restrained by fears of looking dumber than Dayton. Congrats to rimjobbob!

I only lost because Antifa hijacked my account and edited my post to contain a bunch of dumb shit and deleted my very accurate predictions. I made perfect predictions before Antifa erased them.

A little late to this, but this is bullshit I clearly called the attempted insurrection.

Also, I can't open this thread for some reason. Is it in the secret shadow forum?

Huh ... that's weird. The thread doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Anybody with admin access know if something wacky has happened to the database?

It was stored in the warehouse with all those unneeded ballot papers I think.

yesterday I saw a guy selling Trump signs & accessories on an empty lot and I told my wife "this is weird. Trump's gone, why is this he doing this?" and then I noticed a Trump 2024 sign.
There's no guarantee Trump will be running in 2024. Kinda premature, don't ya think?

That guy's just catering to the lucrative rubes-and-suckers market.

And there are enough of them that there are bucks to be made at this point...

The thread got merged into... this one, I think.

Aha, I missed that.

Fucked up if true

There's no reason to think he won't try, if there's money to be grifted. But if it comes down to it, if Tucker Carlson runs, the ticket would be split, paving the way to a Democrat win in a best case scenario.

At worst case, Carlson wins because he sounds a bit more functional and adult-y than Trump and a LOT more damage is done.
