In terms of the magnitude, we're assuming that the additional error from bucket (2) will, on average, change the outcome in 1-2 states. But again, there will be occasional simulations where it will have a larger effect along with many others where it has little/no effect. — PolitiTweet.org

We'll also assume that this additional error could either affect all states systematically, or could impact states on a one-off basis. One upshot is that if I were a campaign, I might play a fairly broad map, in case things get weird in some state that's part of my path to 270. — PolitiTweet.org

The other philosophical point here is that you have to decide whether your forecast is a conditional forecast (holds true given certain "reasonable" assumptions) or an unconditional one (holds true given "real world" uncertainties and perhaps even some "unknown unknowns"). — PolitiTweet.org
