A 75% chance is not 100%. A 25% chance is not 0%.
Even the other models, 90% chance to win is STILL not 100% chance. It's 1 in 10, which is pretty significant. I wouldn't do something if someone said I had a a 1 in 10 chance of being severely injured.

Is that it though? I don't care enough to delve deeper, but I was pretty sure there were claims way into the 90's on election day. Yeah, I get it....probabilities work that way where its not 100%, so its not wrong. That being said, it was a pretty atrocious miss no matter how you spin it.
