      Confidence uses a Brier score: right at 90% sure earns 9.9 points, a 50/50 hedge earns 7.5, and wrong at 90% earns 1.9. Saying what you really believe is the best strategy. Ties go to the closer popular vote call, then the closer turnout guess, then the earlier entry. Final scores use the count as of Nov 20.
