By 
LGM is hosting a prediction contest for the 2016 American presidential election. FAQ below:
Q: How do I enter?
A: Send an email to [email protected] containing the following:
A prediction of what percentage of the overall popular vote Hillary Clinton will receive.
A prediction of what percentage of the overall popular vote Donald Trump, or his replacement, will receive.
Predictions should be expressed to the hundredth percentile, i.e., 43.31%
A prediction of how many electoral votes the winning candidate will receive.
The winner of the contest will be the contestant whose entry features the lowest deviation from the actual percentages received by the candidates. The electoral vote prediction will be used as a tiebreaker, if necessary.
Note: There is no entry fee of any kind. This is not gambling.
Q: What can will I win?
A: First prize: $100
Second prize: A bottle of vodka-flavored ketchup
Third prize: This is a contest for winners. A loser is a loser, and there is no third prize. We’re actually a little embarrassed you asked, so we’ll pretend you didn’t.
Q: Who is eligible to participate?
A: People who post or lurk on this blog. There is a maximum of ONE (1) entry per contestant. Note: Using more than one LGM handle does not make you more than one contestant.

Good luck to everyone, and to the Republic.
