I checked in at 538.com a few minutes ago, and was greeted the front page with the announcement that “Donald Trump is very likely to win”—not the cheeriest thing to see at this point in the morning. I went to the forecast page and the bubbles were still where one would expect, showing a probability of Biden 89/Trump 10, but the above image was in their “outcomes” section.
Things are back to where they were now, but I’m guessing either Poblano and his staff were playing a joke, or, more likely, someone somehow went in and changed the images (if not the actual data) on two of the most accessed pages in the history of the internet.

As a few people have noted in the comments, it’s much more likely that there was some sort of glitch that prevented the page from properly accessing the data. Still, what a way to start the morning!
Now: VOLUNTEER. PHONE BANK, TEXT BANK, POLL GREET. Let’s win this thing!
