Today in Class... Election Predictions! 11/7/16

Today in class we discussed our early voting predictions. Well I guess we didn't really discuss them but we wrote them down. Mr. Schick came up with this chart that has predictions for the next president, the electoral votes, and the popular vote (%). On Mr. Schick's Veracross website on listed five websites that we could use to make our predictions. I personally used fivethirtyeight.com and 270towin.com to make my predictions. My final results were that Hillary Clinton is going to win, the elctoral votes were going to be 288-250, and the popular votes are going to be 49% to 46% (which leaves 5% of the country to the "others"). I probably won't get my exact predictions right but I do think it will be a tight race, neck-and-neck. I think this is the kind of race where every vote counts.
