Yep. The early vote numbers are not real high there.
No but the hospitalization rate is obscene, they are putting people in a field hospital and doing triage.
So I do understand. It’s tragic, but I don’t know what else to say - the doctors and nurses are so busy they likely don’t even think about taking the time to vote.

They’re right in line with the state overall. The only counties voting at noticeably higher rates are the emerging suburban/exurban battlegrounds. And it’s not at all hard to cherry pick a bunch of deep red counties that are substantially behind Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, and Bexar. But yes, it would be great if their percentages were even higher (keeping in mind that Tarrant voted for Trump in 2016 and only flipped to Beto in 2016 by less than 1%).

Yeah Tarrant Co is interesting. They’ve been poised to turn blue. This election may just do it. There’s been so much community upheaval over the death of Atatiana Jefferson that it feels like it got pretty woke over there.
I’ll be especially interested to see what happens there.

Tarrant is a battleground, for sure. Running a couple percentage ahead of Dallas also fits with my reading of the other emerging battleground counties with above-average voting percentages.
*For all the normies out there, Tarrant County is Fort Worth, Arlington, and a bunch of suburbs.

That works! As long as we all don’t go to the beach! (until after we vote)

Yeah but suburban women seem to be driving a lot of the anti-Trump vote, so it is going to be interesting.

So put electoral-vote.com in Google and go to the list of their Oct.26 posts. You have scroll down past the current posts and then you get to a list by date. ETA to fix cite.
The point is that when you cross reference polling results with turnout results, you know a hell of a lot about what the total currently is and which voters have yet to vote. Even more so if you have used Internet data to characterize each voter.

Yep, college-educated whites too. Take a drive around Highland Park sometime and you will absolutely boggle at how many yard signs are up for Dem candidates.
*For all the normies, Highland Park is a town surrounded by Dallas where a bunch of super-rich people live.

Now that’s political malpractice. She should have said her opponent was originally from california.

Check which party Jill Stein is fronting this year.
I know and I would be more gobsmacked except they already stunned me when they started putting up memorials for George Floyd and the rest of the murdered black Americans and Highland Park High School got all up in it - that knocked the breath out of me.

I believe the current transitive evaluation among math-logic challenged mouth-breathers is Oregon = Portland, Portland = AntiFa therefore Oregon = AntiFa.

Yes, the exception being when your opponent is relatively unkown and you want to jump into the vaccuum and define him before he can tell the public who he is.

OT again, but when it rains, it pours.

After already having been indicted in Michigan for a robocall scheme to intimidate urban-area voters with misinformation, Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have now been indicted in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, for the same scheme.

Oooh, Buetler makes me so mad! Last time she ran she claimed to be a nice suburban mom who knows how important healthcare is. The she voted against it along with the rest of the GOP.
Just be hateful from the get go like McMorris-Rodgers over in Spokane.
Fixed the link in both posts. Thanks for the heads up.
Why not a polling station AT the beach?
