This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, the show was recorded before the attack in Nice, Trump’s final VP pick, and the attempted coup in Turkey. So there will be nothing about those things! But Sam and Ivan do of course talk quite a bit about Election 2016 anyway. The other major topic is racial tensions in the wake of the Philandro Castile and Dallas shootings. The show is rounded out with shorter discussions of hard drive failures, summer camp, the UK prime minister… and Pokemon Go! Click below to listen or subscribe… then let us know your own thoughts!
Length this week – 2:00:48
Show Details:
Note: Timestamps are accurate, but many audio players are not very precise on the timestamps they show, especially when scanning forwards and backwards, so depending on your player, if you scan to a specific time, you may not get exactly what is shown above and may have to scan back or forward a bit to get what is expected.

States with new poll data since the last update: Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Kansas, Missouri Florida is close. Less than a week ago Trump took the lead for the first time since March. With the latest polls, Clinton once again has a narrow lead.
With close states, do not be surprised if they go back and forth across the line. With a big state like Florida, this can cause big fluctuations in the electoral college picture:
So we now have a big spike where Trump very very briefly led narrowly in both Florida and Pennsylvania. Then later polls almost immediately reversed those gains. We are now back at Clinton 347 to Trump 191 in the “expected case” where everybody just wins all the states they are ahead in. This is a familiar place to be. The Republican convention starts in 2.0 days. The Democratic convention in 9.1 days. It will probably take until at least a week after both conventions are over, maybe even two or three weeks, to fully know if there have been any enduring changes due to the conventions. So be patient. Historically, conventions produce short term “bounces” that are fairly transient. They may even be too short to see on a state by state basis. But if any longer lasting changes happen, you’ll see them here. 115.3 days until polls start to close. Note: This post is an update based on the data on ElectionGraphs.com.
