It's the final pre-election episode of Facts Don't Matter! Ed delayed uploading it for a few days, because what difference could that possibly have meant to our electoral predictions? 

Whoops. Yes, things have tightened significantly since we recorded on Sunday, so feel free to listen and laugh - our predictions certainly aren't out of the realm of possibility, but they've gone from exactly what we expected to a fairly optimistic result for Hillary Clinton. Where will things fall out? Find out on Tuesday!

We also spend some time talking about Nate Silver and the FiveThirtyEight.com electoral model, and some of our concerns with just how seriously much of the data-loving population takes these projections. That said, we are not shitting on Nate Silver - a point we made so emphatically that I nearly named the episode "We're Not Shitting on Nate Silver."
