So intense! I just hope that, regardless of the outcome, we don't have an Atlasian equivalent of 2000.

God help us all... but, on the other hand, it would be very exciting.

I believe this is basically 2000, the media is calling it preemptively!

Perhaps. I don't know where the votes that Governor Leinad needs could come from, though. We'll just have to wait and see...

Do we have a process for a tie? If it goes to the Senate will they pick a ticket or Pres + VP, Griffin/Cris would be hilarious.

I seem to remember there's a runoff or something, but what the heck do I know? I've been here for, like, a month.

We are currently defending our call to not make a call yet. President Griffin has not won this election, in fact he's far from being out of the woods. There are a few hours left till the last polls are closed and at this point it seems like the liberal media is trying to seal the momentum behind President Griffin and cause him to win by misinforming the voters perhaps? This is a close race. DO NOT CALL IT UNTIL THE LAST VOTE IS CAST.

President Griffin wins the Northeast, and Mideast or so he is ahead at this time. Governor Leinad is ahead in the Pacific Region, The South, and narrowly ahead in the Midwest. Former Northeast Governor Winfield is not ahead in any region. We can not project the presidency at this time.

If we go split ticket, I'd much prefer Leinad/Duke to Griffin/Cris. I like Cris, but we could use him int he Senate.

Federalist turnout is now the highest it has been in any election since 2014 in terms of raw votes and it will likely exceed it by percentage as well.

Wow, just wow. You know you've won when the other side starts hurling unfounded accusations.

For your information, I was running a successful and respected news outlet long before you joined the game. I have covered four presidential elections and six Senate races and have never called one wrong. I called the race for Griffin because, based on a number of observable statistics - turnout, the partisan affiliation and activity of outstanding voters, the margin of the vote at this hour, and historic voting patterns - I believe that it is highly unlikely that Leinad will win this election. You're free to disagree, but attacking my ethics is another matter. In calling the presidential race, I used the same standards and models that I used to project PiT and Potus the winners of their respective Senate races - I notice you didn't have a problem with that.

As Yankee and Leinad well know, I have never let my partisan feelings interfere with my coverage of the news. I'll thank you not to suggest that in the future.

2 more votes for y'all. Looks like the extreme left socialist communist media preemptively called this election for that extreme left socialist communist President. #NotMyPresident

Perhaps this was a mistaken impression, but I thought you were partial to Hagrid in your coverage. Especially the narrative that he was winning all the moderates when I had support of people like Duke, Andrew and Jbrase.

That said, your record is indeed good, however I think your numbers could be wrong. Inks has not been in an Atlasia since September 2014, how does he fit into your model of voter history?

Drat, foiled again! I suppose my minions will have to go into overtime buying off conservatives building a bipartisan coalition to preserve my diabolical scheme to monopolize the pretend internet newspaper industry!

Oh, I won't argue that I'm incapable of making mistakes or that my preferences might occasionally slant my coverage (such is always unintentional, if and when it occurs): I just object to the notion that I'm deliberately misleading people.

I was very new to the scene back in February, and I made countless mistakes and errors of analysis - it's possible I was a bit overly generous to Hagrid. As for Inks, I automatically count every Federalist/CR voter as a solid Leinad vote unless they have a history of swingyness  (ex: Wulfric), so I anticipated his vote when I made my projection.

FTR, he factored into mine, and we all know about my models. You and I both know that unless you've got some huge last-minute troll-a-thon planned where you've been holding and plan to dump every less-than-totally-unlikely vote out there (despite the fact that there are no factors that warrant a strategic last-minute vote-dump), the calls some are making aren't necessarily unfair or biased. Fortunately, I'm always a pessimist: I never believed I was going to win and I still somehow doubt it!

I never accused you of such things, Senator, however this election is far from over. This will go on until the last minute. I wasn't attacking your ethics and if you believe I was I'm sorry.
