So, this is a sports website, but now that we are one week away from election, EVERY DAY from now till election day, this will become a sports website with a hint of politics. I will be giving my “ratings” for the presidential and senate races. Now before we begin let me say that these ratings are based off of polls, demographics, and past election results. How this works is the darker red a state is, the more likely to go republican it is, the darker the blue, the more likely it is to go democrat. The darkest is guaranteed, medium is likely, and lightest is leaning. Tan states are “Toss Up States” that could go either way, and in the case of the senate, gray states don’t have elections this year.
