Red State Final Call

As expected my model  is predicting a Trump win in every single red state.
Here is the list of states that I am calling red states.
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia,  Idaho, Indiana,Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,  Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming

I pulled all states except Missouri at 3 PM CST on 11/05.  I forgot to download Missouri, and didn't download it until 4:55 PM CST 11/05.

I am concerned with how my model attempted to predict other candidates besides Trump or Clinton.  Since polling data can include any variety of candidates, it's hard to get an idea of the support for third party and independent candidates.  In Utah, I think I didn't get a good prediction of the support for Evan Mcmullin because not all polls included him.  I don't think my prediction of percentages will be accurate in Utah, but I think Trump will still win there. Also I think the intervals aren't wide enough and don't reflect the volatility of the support between the two candidates.  But I think my numbers should be relatively similar in comparison to actual results.  Texas and Georgia are going to be really close, and probably closer than my model suggests.  I feel real confident that Trump will win all of these states. Nebraska awards its electors by congressional district.  There isn't enough polling with each district to run a prediction with my model, but I am calling that Trump will win all three districts.



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