Nate Silver argues that 43 of 50 states are now predictable with 97% confidence due to extreme polarization, not electoral rigging. He contends that the Democratic establishment is failing by clinging to legacy candidates and status quo policies, while younger, more populist figures like AOC represent a genuine threat to the traditional party hierarchy.
Key insight: Despite the intense focus on election integrity, Silver notes that even if you extrapolated every isolated case of voter fraud found by groups like the Heritage Foundation by a factor of 20, it would still be statistically insufficient to swing a major national election.
