I generally trust fivethirtyeight, got into them a couple years ago for the baseball and football analysis actually. But it's trustworthy to me even if I don't generally understand the science of it.

Anybody care to have a discussion about why a Supreme Court nominee can be elected for life by a simple majority vote but we can't have a simple majority vote for a 4 year presidential term?

The EC needs to go. It's outdated and unnecessary.
