In that sense, the best tip-off that the forecasts are different is they have Biden at 97% to win the popular vote, and have sometimes been as high as 98% (and 99% before they revised their model) whereas we are at 82%. You're getting up to 97-98%, you're getting VERY confident. — PolitiTweet.org

Also keep in mind that these probabilities are drawn from distributions that stretch out on the tails. It doesn't take a lot to go from say 50% to 54% (so those forecasts are ~identical) but it DOES take a lot to go from 95% to 99% (so those are quite different) https://t.co/HbSJcpbW0Y — PolitiTweet.org

@gelliottmorris I don't agree that the specification differences are small, especially if you look at the popular vote, which is a more straightforward calculation. — PolitiTweet.org
