Today's Presidential Polls

It's Halloween. Time for scary stuff. How about this. Look at the map. Suppose Kamala Harris wins Nevada and Arizona. Then the EV score is Harris 268 and Trump 270. Trump wins. But we haven't accounted for NE-02 and ME-02. We are basically assuming the whole state goes the same way. Donald Trump will probably win ME-02 because it is R+6. However, it is not a sure thing because Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) represents the district in the House. Suppose Harris wins Nevada, Arizona, and both ME-02 and NE-02, then we get 269-269 and a contingent election in the House, with each state getting one vote. Imagine what would happen if some rich people, let's just make up some fictious names here, Elon Soros or George Musk began offering LARGE "incentives" to the new members of the House to encourage them to cast their votes a certain way. Remember that seven states have only a single member in the House and another seven have only two members. Still not scared? You're tough. OK, you want to hear the story about the Egyptian government? No? Coward. As we said above, Happy Halloween!
