Political Data Firm Issues Wacky Prediction for Maine U.S. Senate Race

The political data research firm SEMrush set out to predict the winners of all U.S. Senate races this year, based on their research on Google searches for each candidate’s name. But they only bothered to do this research for Democratic and Republican nominees. In Maine this year, independent incumbent Angus King is expected to be re-elected, but because SEMrush didn’t check how many people googled his name, they made a prediction that Republican Eric Brakey will win. See this story in the Bangor Daily News. Thanks to Shawn Levasseur for the link.

    above challenges. More exotic systems use solar heating to own the new end

    which, subsequently, connects for the motor.
