Zubair Khan, a data analyst, sent an email to Jeffrey E. after checking the report again and confirming that only Wisconsin was incorrectly predicted in the US presidential election.

However, their prediction of Trump becoming president was based on analyzing data from 3 days and ignoring historic data, which they failed to account for without a Data Scientist. Zubair is now focusing on cyber security and will reach out if he has a powerful investable idea.
