Founded in March 2020, Election Predictions Official (EPO) was created by Ryan Gest to provide clear, data-driven analysis of U.S. elections. The project began on YouTube, where it quickly gained prominence during the 2020 election cycle and has since grown to over 190,000 subscribers and 45 million views.

EPO focuses on comprehensive election forecasting — blending fundamentals, polling, historical trends, and demographic data to project outcomes with a high degree of accuracy.

As new statistical methods have made electoral data more accessible, election forecasting has become an essential tool for journalists, analysts, and political professionals. EPO contributes to this field by helping audiences inform their decision-making and expand public understanding of the electoral process.

The platform’s forecasts emphasize the pivotal races most likely to shape national outcomes, offering insights that help politically engaged audiences strategically direct their efforts where they can make the greatest impact.

Behind the scenes, Ryan invests countless hours into gathering, analyzing, and updating data to deliver the best possible experience. While maintaining the site involves ongoing hosting and technical costs, he remains committed to keeping EPO’s content free and accessible to everyone.

Your support helps sustain and improve this platform. Every contribution — large or small — goes a long way in keeping EPO independent, accurate, and publicly available.
