Not much counted over the weekend but projection holding steady now at +2.68% GOP when all votes are counted.

Correcting for all the uncontested races drops to ~+1.4%

If you want to compare to presidential 2020 vote it’s worth noting that DC adds ~ +0.3% to Dem margin in a Presidential race that doesn’t show up in the House popular vote. (#Statehood for DC please.)

Here’s a screenshot of a district projection regression:

Another post for #projects : this time for #iOS in #swift where I wrote a spritekit (!) based Blackjack game for the iPhone.

My first (and only) iPhone app attempt, worked on this summer of 2018 but never finished it. I've pretty much forgotten how to write Swift at this point but I played it again in the simulator, and I still think it's kind of neat!

I love the fireworks animation on a win: pretty sure I got that from some tutorial code. 😂

Getting close to deploying a #Python Dash app (see screenshot)

US House #election popular vote totals and projections.

Latest totals have the popular vote at +3.73% GOP

Adjusting for uncontested races (using Biden/Trump numbers with a 4 point GOP shift) lowers that to +2.31%

Projecting uncounted votes (a combination of linear regression and naive ratios based on CNN’s percentRemaining): GOP + 1.49%
