Editing Andrew S. Tanenbaum (section)

===Electoral-vote.com===
In 2004, Tanenbaum created [[Electoral-vote.com]], a web site analyzing [[opinion polls]] for the [[2004 U.S. presidential election]], using them to project the outcome in the [[U.S. Electoral College|Electoral College]]. He stated that he created the site as an American who "knows first hand what the world thinks of America and it is not a pretty picture at the moment. I want people to think of America as the land of freedom and democracy, not the land of arrogance and blind revenge. I want to be proud of America again."<ref name="EVFAQ">{{cite web|url=http://www.electoral-vote.com/info/votemaster-faq.html |title=The Votemaster FAQ |access-date=February 26, 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041102014915/http://www.electoral-vote.com/info/votemaster-faq.html |archive-date=November 2, 2004 }}</ref> The site provided a color-coded map, updated each day with projections for each state's electoral votes. Through most of the campaign period Tanenbaum kept his identity secret, referring to himself as "the Votemaster" and acknowledging only that he personally preferred [[John Kerry]]. Mentioning that he supported the [[United States Democratic Party|Democrats]], he revealed his identity on November 1, 2004, the day before the election, and also stating his reasons and qualifications for running the website.<ref name="EVFAQ" />

Through the site he also covered the [[United States general elections, 2006|2006 midterm elections]], correctly predicting the winner of all 33 Senate races that year.

For the [[United States elections, 2008|2008 elections]], he got every state right except for Indiana, which he said McCain would win by 2% (Obama won by 1%) and Missouri, which he said was too close to call (McCain won by 0.1%). He correctly predicted all the winners in the Senate except for Minnesota, where he predicted a 1% win by [[Norm Coleman]] over [[Al Franken]]. After 7 months of legal battling and recounts, Franken won by 312 votes (0.01%).

In 2010, he correctly projected 35 out of 37 Senate races in the Midterm elections on the website. The exceptions were [[Colorado]] and [[Nevada]].

Electoral-vote.com incorrectly predicted [[Hillary Clinton]] would win the [[2016 United States presidential election]]. The website incorrectly predicted Clinton would win Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida. Electoral-vote.com did not predict a winner for Nevada, which Clinton would win. The website predicted the winners of the remaining 44 states and the District of Columbia correctly.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2016/Pres/Maps/Nov08.html|title=ElectoralVote|access-date=February 10, 2019|archive-date=November 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101003746/https://electoral-vote.com/evp2016/Pres/Maps/Nov08.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Clinton however, won the popular vote, but lost the electoral vote.
