Does Nate Cohn's explanation of Saccone overperforming his HD explain that dip? His tweets suggest they didn't really account for it as a possibility.

Yeah, he's basically saying "we don't account for home district advantage in our model". If your throw it in it explains most of why the needle suddenly freaked out.

Additionally that part of the county is much lower education/GOP than the county as a whole and THE NEEDLE extrapolated its results to the rest of the county.

The false prophet with a creepy face seeks praise for himself. Do not fall for false idols. Worship only the needle.

really he's just hedging his bets: he's right and awesome if he wins or a poor persecuted white male if he loses.

If the Republicans have been tampering with the votes, and I think that especially with places like Waukesha county there is a strong possibility that they have been, they're going to need to do it in more and more blatant ways to keep winning elections

I think it's more likely something reasonable happened but it's not impossible that they're going to gently caress with the results

THE NEEDLE begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, March 14th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
