    What would really make today special is if we got news of Mitch testing positive,  though I'm pretty sure he'll never die.

    There has never been a bigger opening. They are going from losing the Supreme Court and an uncertain election to winning an election, potentially the senate and getting this court pick pushed. If dems get the vote pushed past the election and they still confirm, packing the court is justified.

    Ya see to me a lame duck nomination is the same as after the election. Keep in mind this thing isn't gonna be called for at least a couple of weeks. But I look forward to the optics of it all.

    I think the odds have increased that it will be called sooner than that. Fingers crossed though!

    It may have but the civil war slant is very much in play. As I've been saying from the beginning - especially now that this new poll for PA coming out showing only 12% of Rs are voting by mail - that how this will go is: Fuckface still gets out to a huge lead on election night, then an absolute tsunami of mail in ballots come in and he gets beat. He comes out and screams RIGGED and to his Proud Boys he told to standby will now be given the word to take the law into their own hands.

    On a semi-related note - our ward leader told me there's a chance these dipshits with assault weapons show up out outside some of the polls to intimidate and suppress the vote. Gonna be a fun day.

    Yeah, but JP, if Biden wins by 3-4% (he's up 6% now), it will be a hell of a lot more difficult for Trump to claim it was rigged. If it's within 1% or so like last time, sure. But a lot of good polling for Joe lately in our commonwealth. I'd imagine that will continue at this point...

    I do not think it will be as close as it was last time. Now, I could be completely wrong for sure, but I'll be completely surprised if he wins by anything more than 2%. This state is awful - there's also the chance of this: https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2020/09/pa-election-integrity-committee-house-republicans-voting/

    Really, really, really hope we flip the house at the state level - I'd argue we need that more than at the federal level for so many reasons.

    Even 2% would be tough for him to challenge. That's like 120,000 votes. 

     I can't believe we are under a month. These last four years have felt like a couple decades.

    I don't think it's going to particularly close on election day at this point. It could change, but I don't see it.

    I mean don't have to go too far back to Florida in 2000 for ~100k votes. EDIT: I should say the Dems wanted to recount over 100k I believe.

    I distinctly remember Election Day four years ago. It was one beautiful day....and then it wasn't, haha.

    Sooooo many mail in ballots. Definitely not going to be able to decipher anything. If the news that night reports it correctly then I'd feel better about it but they won't. If it says "Trump leading with 5% of precincts reporting", then that would make sense, but I have no faith in it being reported correctly.

    He is done. This decision to leave the hospital just compounds it. Whatever the base number is, he's going to get that and he's not going to get another vote.

    The news does report at the precinct level.

    Hillary was different.  Barring something insane, this race is over.

    Yes, which is why it the last four years has felt like decades.
