2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTyler Pedigo's predictions look pretty good for Hillary.
He's the statistician some people were citing when he was predicting a blow-out win for Bernie in Wyoming.
He's not predicting any more blow-out wins (except maybe for Hillary.)
Maybe he learned his lesson.

(3,660 posts)which will either be an actual prediction or just updated preliminary numbers - which was what you linked to.

(108,978 posts)And Tyler's Wyoming prediction was way off.
So there's no reason to think that those results are going to have the effect you think they will.

(3,660 posts)that you should understand is model is more accurate the closer to the primary AND that he himself indicated in the post you quoted that those were preliminary numbers and more would be coming soon. As for his accuracy in Wisconsin, even in his actual prediction he related the potential issues with his model due to early voting. I would suggest reading more about his model, as well as his actual comments relating to his predictions.
I wasn't trying to indicate Wisconsin would have a dramatic effect. I think it will have some though. As for Wyoming, I think Tyler's model fails to account for things like surrogate ballot shenanigans that can negatively effect numbers.
That said, it there was no effect, there wouldn't be so many Hillary followers trying to diminish it so energetically.
I'm curious though at the cognitive dissonance you show here. First you create an OP saying Tyler's predictions for Hillary are pretty good. Then you talk about how he was way off. You are aware you can't have it both ways right?

(108,978 posts)Obviously, the GOTV operation was better on the Hillary side. They made sure their supporters knew how to vote with surrogate ballots, and Bernie's GOTV people didn't.
What IS scandalous is how caucus states try to suppress the vote among older people by making it so hard for anyone to vote.
But the voter-suppressors didn't succeed quite as well in Wyoming as they had wished.
