Define an upset to be any one of the following:
Kamala Harris* loses a state colored blue below (or loses DC)
Donald Trump* loses a state colored red below
Will there be an upset in the 2024 presidential election?
* If Harris or Trump gets replaced, this question will instead be about whoever the new Democratic / Republican nominee is.
(The winner of a state is the person who gets the most votes in that state.)
Only a 33% chance of an upset is interesting
That implies 10 states (5 R, 5 D) that each have a <5% chance of being flipped assuming a typical amount of correlation between states.
Seems like an Arbitrage opportunity with states like IA, NH having a nearly 20% chance of upset and since they're smaller states they're likely less correlated to the nation
I’m curious about which states YES holders think will have an upset
NH, VA, AK, TX, FL, OH, IA are probably my top guesses (not in order)
