• themusicgod1 estimated 53% and said “people will end up deciding who actually runs the place by googling to see who won, and gradually google will realize that they can just cut out the middle men, and first cut out the electoral college and eventually voting itself. ” on 2016-10-02
• Michael Dickens estimated 10% and said “themusicgod1, why do you always vote close to 50% no matter how likely/unlikely the prediction is?” on 2016-10-02
• btrettel said “Perhaps 50% is their prior, because this website only offers binary predictions.” on 2016-10-03
• themusicgod1 said “I don’t “always” do that. In fact I usually don’t. ~67.4% of the time based on past judged predictions I use other probability bands.” on 2016-10-03
