What happens when you apply cutting-edge machine-
learning techniques to political science? The model combines
information from polling, each district or state's voting
record, results of special elections around the country,
fundraising, candidates' ideology, and more. Trained on every
election cycle since 1942 and uses data from more than
10,000 historical legislative races. It will perform 4.7
million simulated elections every day until the vote, using the
latest data from pollsters and fundraising reports as soon as
they become available.
