If it's not being done in public, it's absolutely being done in private. Do you believe democratizing that data is a bad thing?

- creato 4y agoYes, it’s quite possible that “democratizing” election forecasts is bad. A public forecast may influence the likelihood of voting while a private forecast would not.
- Scubabear68 4y agoI don’t think this is the case at all. The whole purpose of private forecasting is to judge how your efforts are doing with the electorate, and adjust your strategy, poll/assess again, rinse and repeat. They don’t just forecast and shrug at the results.
- spartanatreyu 4y agoNot having public forecasting influences voting. Either way votes are going to be influenced. The benefit of democratizing those forecasts is to reduce surprises / rigged election accusations.
