Another University professor, this time in Queensland has made an election predictive tool.

http://election.uqcloud.net/DL/us

They could have at least plotted the name of the state somewhere as you hover over the map.

Story behind the mad professor:

"“There are a lot of very angry Americans … That anger has increased since the news on the FBI re-examining Hillary’s emails....”

Insightful.

This is why the Australian media should be banned from talking about the election, because they have no clue what is actually happening.

Also, predicting based off social media activity...

The British media too. Political pundits over here seem to have come to the rather strange conclusion that the race is a complete tossup because of overblown 'Trumpmentum' and meh emails.

Oh and they also seem to have decided that Trump and Clinton are equally terrible candidates and are expressing 'sympathy' with the American people for being 'forced' to choose between them.

We Americans get called morons by foreigners all the time. But if Trump
loses, it at least shows we can reject lunacy unlike the Brits with Brexit or the Aussies with the Liberal Party.
