Do you have a prediction on voter turnout?
Comment / By Hank Sims / Nov. 3, 2009, 10:07 a.m.
Low.

Between 20 and 25 percent, which I think actually benefits Wilson this time around.

What data are your predictions based on? I always thought journalistic credibility was based on some sort of facts…

What about those of us that have been told we dont have a polling place, to mail in our vote, and then we loose the ballot.
whats the deal with polling places not being available to certain areas… arcata, trinidad…?

Jonathan: Call county elections ASAP. They’ll sort you out. 445-7678.
Andy: Gut instinct, more or less! Sorry! Look what happens when I let facts and figures get in the way! (Though I called the Third almost exactly in that one, please note).

“What data are your predictions based on? I always thought journalistic credibility was based on some sort of facts… ”
Aside from the fact that your sentence doesn’t make sense, this is a blog posted for fun. And predictions are mostly based upon gut feeling based upon past elections and a number of intangibles in the present campaign. And they can be surprisingly accurate.

While we wait for results, I’m going to go ahead and make the fatal error of adjusting my prediction.
I’m going to say Wilson by five more points — 65-35 — and more Penn, less Ash.

72-28, Wilson, Hauser.
47-36-17, Marks, Ash, Penn. You were pretty close on that one, Hank.
