So, for example, the model now has Biden doing better than before in South Carolina and Alabama, but Sanders doing better than he was before in Nevada and California. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Without demographics the model basically defaulted to a geographic prior, which tends to underrate Biden/Bloomberg in the South and overrate them (especially Biden) outside the South. It also tended to overrate Sanders in Southern states and underrate him in Western states. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The district-by-district forecasts were also underdispersed. That hurt candidates who projected to get <15% statewide, but who were potentially strong in some districts and thereby could expect to pick up some district delegates. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org
