It was the case at the time according to Politico. It is an estimate. I still think Politico has the better estimate compared to your NBC estimate.
I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you. I was the one who told all the nervous nellies on FR way back in 2018 that Scott beat Nelson and exactly how many votes were outstanding.
I have been on this site since 2003. I have been analyzing races and getting them right most of the time. This isn't my first rodeo. Happy to discuss the final numbers tomorrow.
We already know that the second 50K estimate is going to get blown out of the water.
Not sure why you are so invested in politico. They are nothing more than a DNC propaganda arm.
By the way, did you know that there are tens of thousands of uncounted mail-in ballots remaining too?
