October 31, 2020 Episode 14 - Election Predictions: A Cornucopia of Crap
Want to know who'll win the election on Tuesday? So do we!
In this segment we go over the Vegas odds for the presidential election and why they've diverged from percentages based on national and state polling, we dive into various states and the issues that could push them one way or another, we role-play, arguing for different outcomes whether or not we actually agree with what we're arguing, and then we dive into a discussion about how the Senate's going to go (against the host's wishes).
