One thing of note. The whole emails scandal about clinton came out less than a month before election day and swayed many many voters.
Dat Hunter laptop doe
Due to that October surprise I didn't even vote for hunter biden
I see. You are kinda smug saying that. Of course you didn't. You voted for Joe.
I’m surprised.
It's a little odd that in this analysis neither the covid crisis nor the poor economy were mentioned. Those two things are on the forefront of every American's mind, and are very significant motivators to vote him out.
It's funny, when you're talking about how there are few Republicans who don't support this time around, that the Lincoln Project and the 780 retired generals and security leaders who are opposed to him. But I guess they don't count.
Pennsylvania: The state’s highest court has ruled that election officials should count mailed ballots that arrive up to three days after Election Day. Pennsylvania Republicans are trying to get the Supreme Court to reverse the order, so that only ballots received by Election Day will count. |
North Carolina: Republicans and the Trump campaign have asked the Supreme Court to block the state’s board of elections from extending the deadline to receive mail ballots. The board has said ballots can arrive until Nov. 12, as long as they were mailed by Election Day. |
Wisconsin: The five Republican-appointed justices on the Supreme Court sided on Monday with Republican officials in Wisconsin, ruling that ballots must arrive by 8 p.m. on Election Day to count. (A lower-court ruling would have allowed state officials to count any mailed ballots postmarked by Election Day and received up to six days later.) In response, the state’s Democratic Party is urging voters to return mail ballots in person — to a drop box or clerk’s office — rather than mailing them. |
Nevada: The Trump campaign has sued to stop the counting of absentee ballots in the Las Vegas area, evidently hoping to challenge the signatures on many ballots. Last night, the campaign and Nevada Republican Party filed a separate lawsuit, seeking detailed information on the vote-counting process. |
Texas: The state’s top court yesterday upheld a policy announced by Greg Abbott, the Republican governor, which limits each county to a single drop-off box for mailed ballots. The state’s largest county — Harris, which includes Houston — is home to 4.7 million people. |
Michigan: A conservative judge yesterday overturned an order by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, and ruled that people could carry unconcealed guns at polling places on Election Day. |
In many of these cases, Republicans have argued that changing voting rules because of the pandemic could lead to fraud (a claim that’s largely baseless) and that allowing ballots to be counted after Election Day leads to confusion and chaos. |
Democrats have argued that protecting people’s right to vote, during a national crisis, should be top priority. Democrats have also pointed out that some Republicans have changed their position on the counting of mailed ballots: When late-arriving ballots seemed likely to help George W. Bush in Florida in 2000, Republicans argued that the state should count them” |
What a weird ****ing bubble you live in, brough. One of the strange things about sports forums is that it brings people like you and people like me into regular, virtual contact. Because otherwise, frrreal, this **** above would be alien to me.
Rs gotta get even busier stamping out the vote, then. Good thing they’ve already dispensed with shame.... that’ll make doing so even easier.
I was pretty clear that of course these people exist. What I qualified this with is that the people who oppose him this time all voted last time, but that more people who opposed him last time support him this time than vice versa. Of course there are prominent exceptions. However, it's important to look at trends. Trump won last time with limited support from the Republican party. A good measure for enthusiasm can be looking at the voter turnout in the primaries for an incumbent president. In 2012, President Obama garnered 6,158,064 votes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries). The previous record for turnout for an incumbent was President Clinton in 1996 with 9,706,802 votes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries). This year President Trump secured 18,159,752 votes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2020_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries). He wouldn't be doubling Clinton's record if the Lincoln Project (who didn't vote for him the first time) was representative.
I believe the correlation between the views implied above and having voted against Trump in 2016 is reasonably high. In any case, it's still a vote against him, rather than a vote for something specific (and for people that are motivated to have their vote be "for Science!," those are people who voted last time). But I guess we'll see in a week.
