Say hello to Heather Foley, #mapoli watchers. She correctly predicted the winners of each Massachusetts primary race (Gov., Lt. Gov, Attorney General, Treasurer) in the Scrum Primary Challenge and she came the closest to correctly guessing the percentage of the vote that each candidate got.
How did Foley accurately pick the outcomes of the primary? Does she put her pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else? These are answers we hope to get from her in next week's Scrum podcast. Stay tuned!
Thank you to the many who submitted their predictions. We had lots good guesses, but Foley's were the closest (see below). If you'd like to know more about our methodology, email us: scrum@wgbh.org.
