It looks like a new county with a coronavirus outbreak. This time Okanogan County. Again agricultural work seems to be a major reason for the outbreak. Obviously we need food. I hope they can get better testing soon.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

It looks like another piece of Seattle infrastructure is closed for the foreseeable future. I really like the Waterfront Park. It’s obviously less important than the West Seattle Bridge, but I use it more. Too bad it’s a time when revenue is down.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now.

The Seattle City Council is voting on cuts to the police department today. It isn’t the 50% that activists have been pushing for. But it is a significant movement.

If you want to contact your Council Members to let them know how much you want cut, that an option.

In any case, please wash your hands right now.

No, you forgot to figure out what you were going to write about until a couple minutes before you had to be at work. Anyway, wash your hands right now.

It’s too early to call it, but it looks like two Democrats made it through to the general election for Lt. Governor. I don’t know if I like that as a possibility in our system. I do like getting the infighting out in August. And having an ability to vote straight ticket without thinking about it in November.

Still, it is nice knowing that if Governor Inslee becomes Cabinet Secretary Inslee that we know that there won’t be a Republican governor.

In any event, please wash your hands right now.

Get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by tomorrow. Given the fuckery around the Post Office, I would say get it in today if you’re mailing it. If you’re dropping it off, get it to the box by 8:00 tomorrow.

Also, please wash your hands right now.

This poll has a little bit of everything for people looking to defund the police, and for people who want to slow down the movement. People want to defund the police. But they don’t trust the City Council or the Mayor to do it. Carmen Best is still surprisingly popular. Don’t go too fast.

It’s a relatively new issue for most people, so maybe they haven’t had the time to solidify their positions. Still, the top line that people in Seattle want half of the police budget to go to social services instead is encouraging.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Biden	Trump
> 99.9% probability of winning	< 0.1% probability of winning
Mean of 378 electoral votes	Mean of 160 electoral votes

My last analysis was about three weeks ago, and former Vice President Joe Biden was leading President Donald Trump by 375 to 163 electoral votes. After adding about 150 new polls and undertaking 100,000 simulated elections, Biden wins all 100,000 times. Biden received (on average) 378 to Trump’s 160 electoral votes. In an election held now, Biden would have a greater than 99.9% probability of winning and Trump would have a less than 0.1% probability of winning.

I decided to do an extended set of simulated elections every seven days over the past year, where each simulation includes polls from the preceding month (FAQ). The resulting plot shows that Trump has been losing ground in the electoral college totals since early April.

For the simulated elections for today, here is the distribution of electoral votes [FAQ]:

I am glad that the Federal agents are out of Seattle. And credit where it’s due to state and local officials who made it happen.

That said, the Feds are not the ones who were out of control over the weekend. So this doesn’t mean defund and reform of the police is any less important.

Also, wash your hands right now.

Stay cool everyone. Today is going to be too damn hot. Every year there are a few days where I think that I should get air conditioning.

Drink lots of water. Like, more than you think you need. You will want to get to the point where you are peeing clear. And when you’ve finished peeing wash your hands. Also, wash them right now.
