When The Doppler Effect Meets Election Night

When physics meets politics! This stick figure is applying the Doppler effect (used to measure if objects are moving toward or away from us based on light wavelength shifts) to election maps. Red shifts indicate things moving away, blue shifts mean they're approaching us. Spoiler alert: electoral districts don't actually rotate in space! No wonder this analyst's career was "short-lived."

All That Computing Power For A Coin Flip

Running 80,000 complex simulations only to conclude "it could go either way" is the statistical equivalent of shrugging your shoulders while wearing a supercomputer as a backpack. Election forecasters build these elaborate Monte Carlo models with fancy algorithms, then deliver insights that your local fortune teller could've provided for $5. The irony is delicious—all that computational firepower just to admit they have absolutely no idea what's going to happen. Next time, maybe just flip a coin and save the electricity?
