After online vote watchers questioned the surge vote for Biden only, Michigan state officials and news reports admitted this number increase was a mistake which should not have happened. The vote number is supposedly to have been corrected at the Shiawassee County level. This increased number of 138,339 was never reversed at the State summary level. Biden based on this increased number continued at the state level to have had accumulative 154,188 votes higher than Trump’s at the end. The 154,188 Biden votes should be reduced by 138,339 to be 15,849. Furthermore, another similar surge vote for Biden was reported happening at 3:50 am of 11/4/2020 for 49,779. The State has not shown the detailed listing of that vote combinations, 54,497 for Biden and 4,718 for Trump. This number needs to be investigated.

The model is an iteration from its 2018 U.S. Congressional model designed to predict the outcome of the election as if it were held today. The congressional model predicts the probability of a Republican (GOP) victory in individual House and Senate elections, as well as the number of aggregate seats expected to be won by each party (to predict partisan control of each chamber). The presidential model uses a similar framework to estimate vote shares and probabilities of victory for each major party candidate in each of the states.1 These estimates are then used to proxy electoral college predictions that determine who is elected as the next President of the United States. We provide a survey of features, feature engineering techniques, models, and ensembling techniques. We also provide some empirical results. Keywords: elections, political science, government, machine learning Media Summary We start with a data set of 200+ base features spanning economic indicators, political environment measures (both national and local), candidate traits, campaign finance reports, and engineered variables designed to draw context-specific information into the model.

  • Office of the New Castle County Executive
    TRIBUTE Office of the County Executive of New Castle County Be it hereby known to all that The Honorable Thomas P. Gordon, New Castle County Executive is pleased to present this tribute to honor The Honorable Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III It is with great sorrow that County Executive Gordon recognizes the life of service and duty to God, family, and country by the late and Honorable Joseph Robinette “Beau” Biden III, who left this Earth on Saturday, May 30, 2015, at the young age of 46. The County Executive extends his deepest condolences to the Biden family, notably his friend, Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., and he prays that God blesses this family with all that is needed in this incredible time of grief. The Honorable Beau Biden served the State of Delaware well for eight years as Attorney General, in whose office he fought for children, the less fortunate, and against powerful, malicious forces that dared to commit crimes against humanity in the State of Delaware. Beau, as he was affectionately known, also served honorably as a Major in the United States Army’s Delaware Army National Guard and served America in the Iraq War from 2008 to 2009. In the indelible words of President Lincoln, Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III was truly a man “of the people, by the people, for the people”, and all of the Diamond State will miss the closest thing to a prince that Delaware has ever had. Presented on this 5th day of June, 2015, by order of the County Executive ________________________________ Thomas P.
