the 13 keys are bad, people

there are a bunch of reasons

it predicted trump would win the popular vote
the categories are weird and subjective
etc etc

if you want to look at lichtman's factors, just free yourself up to look at everything and then do a good qualitative analysis. i *promise* it'll be better

it would be kind of fun to find a dozen or so things that, when you line them up right, have a perfect track record of predicting the presidential election

would be a little mean if you wrote it wrong, and ~4 people would read it. but could be fun!
