>So, from what I see, Biden has the lead in the polls, but Trump is following a pretty typical playbook to win an election. (Advertise and knock on doors.) Thus, I have no idea who will win.
Polls are vastly inaccurate even when there's just 2 options. For the USA, the electoral college makes polling even less clear.
>But, even though I have no idea who will win, I suspect there will be a lot of shenanigans no matter who wins.
This is the interesting subject I think. I have been seeing comments on HN(primarily antitrump folks) that they aren't going to accept election results. That it will be Biden winning.

Citation needed, care to link to some comments making unqualified statements to this effect? I haven’t seen anything like this here. On the other hand, I think a more mainstream sentiment is that people will not accept a premature declaration of victory on Nov 4 before all the mail-in votes are counted, but will accept the legitimate winner one the election is certified.
