Please join us for a special presentation sponsored by the Denver Chapter of the Miami University Alumni Association featuring Dr. David Caputo '65.
As we come to the close of a contentious and intense electoral cycle impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, this session will discuss several predictive election models for the 2020 Presidential and Congressional elections. Each will be briefly discussed, what their prediction as of October 22 is and which ones have been the most accurate. Nonpartisan presentation --- emphasis is on what you should watch for as the returns come in on election night as well as a discussion of post election scenarios in case of a very close election. David looks forward to answering questions and the discussion following the presentation.
