Let's have a fun thread. State a prediction (or predictions) you have for election night that other posters will say is crazy.

I'll start: Hillary will win a county in West Virginia.

Don't think that's crazy at all. I totally expect Clinton to win Jefferson County, WV

Washoe's a solid bellweather. Not crazy to think Hillary wins it if you're already thinking she wins Nevada.

Jefferson's the conservative bet. My CRAZY prediction is she carries Monongalia.

There'll be a larger 3rd party vote in Iowa than expected.

At least one election night anchor will be drunk on air, but the rest of those present too polite to bring attention to it until late in the evening.

I don't think Trump will concede the race to Hillary. He'll declare it rigged and ask his supporters to pick up arms.

Those aren't actually that crazy, seeing the state of the race.

Given how much he's telegraphing this, I'm not sure that's necessarily a crazy prediction any more.

Hillary Clinton wins a county in Oklahoma.  Donald Trump makes a surprisingly gracious concession speech.

McMullin wins Utah.
Johnson wins New Mexico.
Arizona and Georgia are too close to call until well past midnight.

I was going to go one step further and say that Texas will have a closer margin than Florida.

I don't like to go out on a limb anymore. I did that in my 2008 prediction when I put North Dakota in the D column. It makes my otherwise fairly good prediction look visually worse. Listed by score though, only two people had a higher score than I did. The only other state I called wrong was Missouri. Otherwise, I'm proud of my 2008 prediction (and even more proud of my even better 2012 prediction, getting every state right).

This and McMuffin takes enough votes from Trump in Idaho especially the 2nd congressional distrct which pulls him under 50% of the vote but still wins.

The stipulation was stupid and/or crazy. Figured I'd go all out.
