Perfect predictions: Virginia Tech senior from Newport News correctly forecasts every race result of Virginia elections

NORFOLK, Va. — As the country watched Democratic candidates take control of both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly in the high profile state elections, Virginia Tech senior Chaz Nuttycombe knew he had beaten everyone else to the punch.

Nuttycombe, a political science major, correctly forecasted the results of every one of the 140 General Assembly races on the ballot this November.

Nuttycombe has ties to Hampton Roads. He was originally born in Newport News before his family moved outside of Richmond. Much of his extended family resides in, or has resided in Newport News for years.

He spoke to 13News Now about the methodology and what went into the predictions on the forecasting website "CNalysis," which he started in 2020.
