Welcome to Midterm Madness, the Bob Graham Student Fellow's March-Madness-style prediction tournament for the upcoming midterm elections. Use your prediction skills to decide on the various categories below. On November 8th, the Bob Graham Center is hosting an Election Results Watch Party; throughout the night we will update the scoreboard and hand out a prize to the winner!

To send in your predictions, you can use the following form.

Though a donation to Doctors Without Borders is not required to participate in Midterm Madness, we do suggest a $5 donation. You can click here and submit a one-time donation. The prize for winning will be worth far more than $5, so it's basically a good deal! Plus, it goes to a great cause to help people around the world affected by conflict, disease, and malnutrition.

The last chance to enter is November 1st. Races will be ordered according to how they appear on the ballot. We’ve even included some high-profile out-of-state races – just to add to the fun! Not all predictions will be weighted the same. For calculating scores, races will be weighted based on rolling averages one week before early voting begins. Feel free to use polls, online information, and articles to influence your predictions. Research into the candidates, platforms, and party affiliations.

Good luck, and remember, "All models are wrong, but some are useful" -George Box.
