Hey HN! I'm a student taking the Political Statistics class at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland. Each election year, we build a statistical model to predict the election results. This year we predicted the Governor and Senate races.

We've open sourced our methodology at https://polistat.mbhs.edu/methodology and our code at https://github.com/polistat. We had to make some last minute changes regarding correlation between the states. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

If you like what we've built, feel free to follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ORACLE_of_Blair or Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/oracleofblair/.

How do these sponsorships even work? Do the content creators work directly with companies or does some agency negotiate on their behalf?

Twitch has a kind of internal programme for sponsorships (as a twitch partner is basically a worker for Amazon), some streamers get approached directly but larger streamers have agencies to do the work for them which seems more effective. Some of the old school eSports teams are now also agencies for streamers.
