Please help us finish strong!

We’re not shy about asking you to help pay for the journalism you rely on—especially this time of year. To have any chance of making our budget goal before the December 31 end of our fiscal year, we need contributions from many of you who have never pitched in before. Equally important, we need steadfast donors who have given before to stick with us and continue your support. We can’t afford to come up short. Please donate now, if you can.

Last week the Economist poll had Joe Biden at 350 electoral votes and an 88 percent chance of winning. Today it has Biden at 334 electoral votes and an 83 percent chance of winning. It’s not a big change, but Donald Trump clearly closed his gap with Biden by a noticeable amount.
