    The Trump administration and the GOP are aware of this. They used legal action to try to squelch vote counting in the metro areas of NV, TX, and PA.

    Biden just picked up one electoral vote in Maine. That one vote opens up other avenues to win, such as one that doesn't including winning PA.

    Deep down in its core the majority of the American people are racists and xenophobic.

    20,000 lies later and they still support him,
    230,000 dead from the pandemic and they still support him,
    Trump calls American soldiers who died in war "suckers and losers" they still support him.

    Have pollsters got it wrong again? Trump's Florida surge hints at repeat of 2016 election

    Have pollsters got it wrong again? Trump's Florida surge hints at repeat of 2016 election

    excerpt:

    "It is not entirely clear why non-college whites are less likely than others to participate in polls. But when evaluating their survey samples, pollsters routinely saw that those Americans were not well represented.

    That was a problem in political polls, since non-college whites tend to favour Republicans. They also make up a substantial proportion of the US electorate: Pew Research estimated that 44% of voters in 2016 were whites without a college degree.

    As a fix, many polls, including Reuters/Ipsos, installed an education “weight” to calibrate their survey data so that it better reflects the education levels of all Americans.

    Another factor four years ago was the indecision of voters."

    Biden is projected to win AZ.

    Winning AZ and NV opens up paths for Biden to win the election without PA.

    AZ has a senate race between Kelly and McSally.

    Birx Issues Blunt Coronavirus Warning Starkly at Odds With Trump

    excerpt:

    "The memo’s existence was reported earlier by The Washington Post. A top White House official who has seen it confirmed its contents.

    The blunt message was a striking one for Dr. Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, who at least in public has taken care not to criticize the president or his administration. Her sharp critique reflects a growing concern among government scientists and public health experts that the worst of the pandemic is yet to come.

    Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, has also been offering unusually blunt assessments, and is once again in Mr. Trump’s cross-hairs as a result. At a campaign rally early Monday morning in Miami, the president attacked the news media for its emphasis on the virus, which prompted the crowd to chant: “Fire Fauci! Fire Fauci!”"

    Kelly beats McSally for senate seat in AZ, as expected. It flips a seat to Democrats.

    Once all of those mail-in ballots are counted this could get very interesting.

    Some will go to trump but the vast majority will go to Biden.

    North Dakota is a current coronavirus hot spot, consistent with its lack of mask use.

    Birx has been on the road trying to convince people to abide by social distancing recommendations.



    Birx Issues Blunt Coronavirus Warning Starkly at Odds With Trump

    excerpt:

    "During a visit last week to North Dakota, she upbraided residents for being lax about covering their faces.

    “Over the last 24 hours, as we were here and we were in your grocery stores and in your restaurants and frankly even in your hotels, this is the least use of masks that we have seen in retail establishments of any place we have been,” she told reporters during the visit, according to The Bismarck Tribune."

    Enough people of that mindset were in FL this year to help Trump win the state again like he did in 2016.

    Trump is using the playbook he indicated he would use: declaring victory on election night and claiming that it's fraud if the vote count later shows that he lost.



    Trump signals he’s counting on the Supreme Court to help him steal the election
    As Biden’s potential path to 270 electoral votes becomes clearer, Trump makes clear he doesn’t want all the votes counted.

    Trump signals he’s counting on the Supreme Court to help him steal the election

    excerpt:

    "“We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election,” Trump tweeted. “We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!”

    But nobody is casting votes after the polls have closed. On the contrary, as noted by Daniel Dale of CNN, states like Pennsylvania are simply following lawful processes for tallying mail ballots postmarked by Election Day."

    Trump signals he’s counting on the Supreme Court to help him steal the election

    excerpt:

    "Trump, however, wasted no time indicating that he does think it’s his place to proclaim himself the victor, even as a number of states continue to tally lawfully cast ballots. And he went even further during a Trump rally-style event in the White House that began after 2 am Wednesday, describing lawful efforts to count ballots as “a major fraud on our nation.”

    “So we’ll going to the US Supreme Court,” Trump said. “We want all voting to stop.”"

    PA is not permitted to start tallying ballots until after the election. Trump doesn't understand this. He seems to think that it's illegal to tally ballots after midnight of election night (which is also the time when he declares victory when has he only 213 projected electoral votes of the 270 needed to win).

    All this election news is like reading Franz Kafka. Getting lost in behind-the-iron-curtain Prague would be more fun than waiting for these results to play out.

    Although I was praying for swift resolution last night, I knew from my astrological studies that the answer will not be clarified for some time to come, perhaps not until December.

    You are 100% correct. You can say goodbye to the BLM movement
    So I am a college educated white male, and I do not answer poll questions.

    Just not in Ohio, but all over the country. My question is this, though. Are fewer people attending college nowdays?
