From your lips to the devil's ear - NOT.

Honestly, this is the first election that I haven't had a clue who was going to win. I have a strong prediction record - in fact, while my friends were all certain of Hillary's victory, my wife and I were planning our escape. But I just have no idea.

Oh, if it were a fair election, I can tell you that Biden would win for sure unless COVID-19 were mostly over by November 4, when Trump would likely win.

But https://medium.com/@ericjscholl/trumps-plan-for-claiming-an-election-win-no-matter-what-is-pretty-naked-9e376d67a13d

(It's funny that I made no predictions in 2016 to anyone I knew except, "Don't get cocky - each election is a horse race" - my wife backs me up on this - and yet multiple friends misremember me predicting a Trump victory to them. It's the power of groupthink - even minor dissent reads as a bold statement!)
