Nessus posted:

I will stake $5 per state, as well as something far more precious: my honor as a poster.

As you can see I have a somewhat optimistic but not wholly delusional take.

If I calculate correctly, I got Texas, NC and a Maine district wrong. Arizona is also still in flux, as is Georgia, potentially. Lingering dread has left me with concern that the latter two will slip away, but in the end, when you cross 270 electoral votes, you enter a state known as "victory," and the rest, as they say, is icing.

So I have gone with a $30 donation:

I would like to decline a gang tag as I have too many already and because if I'm going to be real, I have had an unhealthy parasocial engagement with politics which has not motivated me to action, merely sought my suffering. However, it was great to be here with you folks.

And $100 to RAICES if Trump wins, $100 to Sunrise Movement if Biden wins

I was real close, just missed Arizona and Georgia (and NE2 because I forgot to click it). Tossed in an extra $10

Can I get the "Only trust your fists" pleeease

Here's my relatively conservative map:

I'll do $1 per incorrect state.

So, assuming I get everything uncalled wrong, I think that makes 4.

But apparently I gave myself one of those 1,000% matches.

I'll take the moving needles one, and if I have to lose a preexisting gang tag, let it be the Bad Hombre one, please.

Edit: No gangtag, please. I like my current ones just fine.

Looks like I missed GA for POTUS; we're also not going to know GA Senate results until January (but I'd still bet my prediction is correct there). Donating more than I owe to cover it either way:

No new gangtags, please.

12:30pm - Edit: I hosed up and put IL as red by mistake; this is fixed now.

I only had 3 misses (as long as AZ holds), but I went for a flat $5 donation.

Please give me this gang tag:

I�ll get things going with my map. I am betting $20 per state:

This is assuming that Georgia and Arizona are called for Biden and North Carolina is called for Trump, which is what most experts expect. And then I rounded up to 50.

Thank you, all, for participating in this! By my quick, probably-off calculation this thread has donated around $1,900 to worthy causes, including RAINN, The Trevor Project, and the Canadian Red Cross, with more to come.

e: oh crap almost forgot, I'll take the one with the moving needles, please!

If my prediction is somehow off in any of these states then for each state I've inexplicably got wrong I'll give 20 Australian dollars to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre https://asrc.org.au/

And if I've somehow got all of them wrong (the chance of which I estimate at less than 1:10^50) I would like a Nate Radium tag.

I think Howie won this election by A LOT OF VOTES, but at this point I'm conceding in the face of tremendous voter fraud. I hope this donation leaves enough money for my legal team for the many challenges we will be bringing in criminal Democrat and Republican states.

Edit - if there's a Nate Radium tag, that's what I'd like, or otherwise no tag at all is fine.

well, that's five states and one district wrong, if you count az and ga for the democrats and nc for the republicans. i figured at the time that i would get three, maybe four wrong, but based on the polls i figured i was on pretty solid ground. i'll let this be a lesson for the future

I was wrong about Florida, Maine 2nd district, and (probably) North Carolina. So, fifteen bucks to RAINN, but I threw in an extra five just in case Georgia or Arizona flips to Trump.

Since I lazily copied off of this poster's homework, it's also $15 for me. I'll also add $10 because hey, good cause and all that.

I'll take the Chaos Reigns one.

I ended up being a bit more accurate than I was expecting. Rounded my contribution up a bit, it should cover me if I'm somehow wrong on more than the 2 states I see now (FL, ME-2) after counting is official.

You were the only one in the thread to correctly call Georgia but not North Carolina for Biden

Any reason, time traveler??

I'm not actually feeling that optimistic on Texas, but I figure that that I should have at least one wrong state to donate for. I'll bet $3 per wrong state and $50 if I actually manage to get it right.

Welp, got 4 wrong, but it's still a good showing.

I'll do .50 cents per wrong state as well, please tag me with shaky needles or Chaos Reigns.

It looks like at this point if everything holds I got AZ, GA, and NC wrong. I was too cynical to believe that AZ and GA would flip and too hopeful that NC would show up for Obama's VP. I don't remember exactly what I selected for ME and NE. But it looks like I owe $1.50.

Since that's a terrible donation here's ten bucks. Please tag me with whatever, either the shaky needles or Chaos Reigns.
