In the first decade of the 21st century, Nate Silver became known as a genius in the business of predicting elections. What website did he launch in 2008 to showcase his prognostications?

Silver's FiveThirtyEight.org was an obvious play on the number of electoral votes needed to win the U.S. presidency. He was remarkably accurate during the election of 2008 and again 4 years later. In 2013, his site was acquired by ESPN to pivot to sports in addition to politics. Now the site covers a broad array of predictive analytics.
