Ryan McComb

Me in sunglasses on a ski slope with snowy Alpine peaks behind. A thin orange line of sunset on the horizon, seen from a plane at dusk. A rocky summit under deep blue sky with two white clouds, shot on film. A gull overhead, wings spread against a deep blue sky. An airplane wingtip above a soft, hazy horizon. Two canoes crossing a hazy lake in the Boundary Waters.

I call races and build election forecasts at VoteHub, where I built our Voter Power Index and a small part of our midterm model. On my own, I’ve traded an onion future or two and occasionally write on my Substack about things like estimating how a precinct votes by looking at it from orbit.

When I’m not doing any of the above, I’m a junior at Evanston Township High School. Reach out if you think one of my causal inferences is wrong, have a market you think is mispriced, or know somewhere I should bring a camera. You can find me on X and GitHub, or by email, and if you’d rather admonish me without your name on it, you can do that anonymously.
