Final Election 2024 Predictions

 1 Day Until Election Day

Perhaps I am being lazy, but I am just an amateur at this and am going to hold on what I have already posted. This Presidential race looks so close that I have continued to be mostly focused on the polls regarding that contest. The Gubernatorial races all seem status quo and I do not really feel like changing anything on my Senate picks. Once again though, I am being very stubborn in saying that Sherrod Brown holds on in Ohio. I think he may do so barely, and it could take weeks there until we know. If I am wrong about any Senate race, it is most likely to be Brown vs. Moreno in the Buckeye State.

I have not really bothered to try to research the House races I have called Tossups. Perhaps, I could have changed my Alaska prediction to favor a Republican pickup or found a couple additional Democrat pickups in California, but I am just going to roll with what I have and let the political chips fall where they may...
