US Presidential Election - Contest

[Firkinvald]

So who will win? Clinton or Trump?

Make your prediction and win 100 tech or 6 million (9 million if you have the FAC) .... could be more if we have enough entries and/or volunteers to donate prizes.

The tiebreaker will be the number of states out of 50 that the candidate carries.

Example - Clinton and 49 states.

Entries close at the end of the CN day on November 7th.

Bit of a very biased example you have there, haha.

Had you posted this on like Thursday last week I would have said Clinton with 26 states/over 300 electoral votes. Now? I honestly can't say. Trump has been gaining on her very very quickly after her last scandal, but theres still 5 days left. If anything else comes out against Hillary I don't think she'll be able to win and Trump is mostly impervious to scandals it seems.

Although I'm not voting for her (or Trump), I'll say Clinton with about 280 votes. It'll be very close.

Also, you should use electoral votes as tie breakers, not states. It makes more sense.

I thought about using electoral votes, but using states is more of a challenge, so give us the number of states that Clinton will take.

IF McMullin wins Utah and IF neither Hillary or Trump get 270 electoral votes, there is no way the Republican house votes in McMullin. They would essentially be destroying the Republican party since there's no way in hell any of those hardcore Trump supporters ever vote Republican again. This scenario is even more ridiculous than some of the scenarios Bernie supporters (I was one) were creating in which they could win.

That's heavily optimistic from Trumps point of view. That leaves Clinton with 10 states. 538 has 12 states for Clinton where she has over a 90% chance of winning. She would need to lose everything else and lose 2 of those for Trump to take 40 states. Trump's numbers have been improving a lot recently but they won't go up that much in 5 days
