It is not Kornacki or King it is the software

The mail-in early vote shift has caught them all off guard. They may have thought they had it covered but they are really not geared towards type of data that is incoming and the type of questions that comes out of that.

What they should do is get some wall street data types like Hawkfish to take a look at the system.

But really about polling. It is pretty clear that the deeply committed Trumpers have taken upon themselves to screw-up the deepstate pollsters.

They are reverse Freeping the real polls.

provide extra dollars to States that were doing Mail in Ballots so they could update their Equipment and hire extra help. Mitch McConnell refused to move that bill. So patience and we will prevail.

He's shown an understanding about the mail-in vote and that it would be heavily for Biden all along. He plays it up a bit for the sake of drama, but he's been well aware of the difference and the volume from everything I've seen.

But for those who don't analyze trends and realtime updates better software would allow people to understand the complexities easier.

Kornaki comes on and depresses the hell out of me. Now he is talking like Trump may win Arizona. Myself I am
still concerned over PA. I just can't imagine Biden picking up another 50000 votes. Then there is GA it is going to be
extremely close there Trump could still squeak by.

If the change in the counts would have been presented as a chart you would be much more calm.
