The Electoral College prediction map in our @ps_polisci Special Issue introduction published in mid-October looks just like the actual results. Election fundamentals & scientific approaches work! doi.org/10.1017/S10490965240…
We are obviously still waiting for the final results, but the average Electoral College forecast from state-level models in the @ps_polisci Special Issue on Forecasting the 2024 US Elections is looking quite accurate! 🇺🇲 🗳 @m2p_be @Sciencepo_UdeM @McGillPoliSci @MizzouPoliSci

Working at @UMBC is great because of colleagues like @iganson. He has done incredible work on the IoP Battleground Exit Poll.

We'll have results of the UMBC Battleground Exit Poll soon(ish), please reach out to me or @iganson! (But mostly Ian...this is his big project, and I'm just here to support!)
If you're a Baltimore County voter and see a team of @UMBC students at your polling place...please take the UMBC Battleground Exit Poll. The IoP Associate Director @iganson and his students have put together a great survey that will tell us what Balt Co voters were thinking as they cast their ballots.

As disconcerting as it can be, it is a high privilege to live in a country where you don't know who is going to win an election tomorrow. Highly unusual in human history.

Lots of important local races in Maryland. One question I'll be asking as we get results tomorrow night: Will Baltimore reject a ballot question for the first time in 20 years? Here are some candidates 🧵:

good morning to all my ghosts, vampires, witches, and Frankensteins. Here’s what Marylanders think about trick-or-treating via the @UMBC Poll: politics.umbc.edu/wp-content…
