Blue State Final Call

As expected, all my blue states are showing a Clinton win.  Here is my list of blue states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York,  Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington , Washington D.C. .

I pulled all states (except Oregon) at 6 PM CST 11/04. I forgot to download Oregon with the other states.  The csv for Oregon was pulled at 9 PM CST 11/04.  The data comes from Pollster (run by Huffington Post).
Washington D.C. was hard to predict, all the polls showed a Clinton lead by over 80 points.  I don't think it will be that much of lead, and these polls weren't as scientific as others. My model shows that Johnson will get less than 1%, but this is because Johnson isn't included in all the polls, so his average is much lower than it should be. Overall,  I think Johnson and other third party and independent candidates are going to be underestimated. Clinton should do fine in all of these states.  My intervals may not as be as accurate in practice as they should be in theory.

Maine awards electors based on congressional districts.  There isn't enough polling data to run a prediction with my model in each district.  But based on trends and the poll data, I am calling a Clinton in the first district, and a Trump win in the second district.


Full Results:
Note some confidence intervals were corrected to have a nonnegative beginning since probabilities can't be less than zero.
