I think it's finding a problem rather than a solution. Thread unlocked so I can reply to this. Â Ya, look at Wisconsin 2020 for example. Official result Biden +0.7%. RCP ave. Biden +6.7%. That's an average, which would not happen in the game. 538 was Biden +8.3%, even worse. Remember that late-October Biden +17 poll? That isn't possible in the game, but here we are.

Now, @admin_270, I believe @PoliticalPundit calling me a "spoiled child," unwarranted, especially in response to a post not directed at me, could be construed as a personal attack against me.  Hmm...wonder if the personal attack rule was enforced... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Or are you going to wait until you revamp the polling system for errors? Link to post Share on other sites

Locked the thread and told relevant people to desist. That's enforcing the 'personal attack rule'. People were being banned for short periods of time right before the election because the forum was blowing up due to personal attacks, and more significant responses were required. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And very poorly balanced responses, with no appeals allowed for mistakenly applied or overly harsh bans...  I do REALLY hope things do look up... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
