(There are a small number of 269-269 ties that we don't count toward either candidate, though probably = Trump in practice.)
Really quite a thrilling race. After a big Harris lead early, Trump (+ no majority) was ahead as late as simulation 79,287, just couldn't close.

No one cares. You’re the ghost of Christmas past. We’ve moved on to better pollsters. 🍻
How do you know the shape of the model won't change after the 80,000th simulation? It converged at around 45,000 and then the gap widened again. How did you decide the 80,000 cutoff?
What fascinates me is that in reality there's one (1) current split of the country that barely changed over years (and certainly not within the last month) and one (1) current split of people who'll vote and people who won't, and there too as the country is polarized that's not a

Ah yes hope all that data collected was useful, was this the Monte Carlo calculation? Has to learn that one by hand and with calc, also coding.
Looks like it too close to call and within .015% which is in line for statistical deviation… crazy! Thanks for doing what you do.
