    lol, remember last week on his show when early vote totals had the dems panicking? There will likely be one more shift before Tuesday. The bottom line is that right now she had more viable paths to win and he has a slight poling lead in 5 of the 7 states. So it’s a tossup now and will still be one on Tuesday. But watching the constantly shifting panic is fun.

    It will be interesting to read after the election is over, what was really going on behind the scenes. I'll assume we will get to find out how everyone really felt versus what they had to say to keep their voters engaged and get over the finish line.

    Yes, and I've used the word 'relatively' throughout this discussion. Relatively more Repubs are voting early and relatively more Dems will vote on election day. And there's 4 more days left for mail-in ballots, so Repubs could still get close to their 2020 total.

    Why am I not surprised you would push vote suppression?

    No. I’m just encouraging you not to waste your time given that your vote doesn’t matter. Your words, not mine.

    I'm sorry but I'm still waiting for you to explain how the story about Republicans winning their lawsuit in Bucks county has been debunked.

    Trump claimed widespread cheating on a level rarely seen....I quoted his Truth Social post earlier. That didn't happen nor did the judge find that happened. He entered a one page order extending voting until Friday. Words are important. Widespread cheating? Debunked. In another county in Pennsylvania they extended voting one day because Trump's motorcade blocked access to a polling place. The Dems won that lawsuit. Was that widespread cheating by Trump?

    The post I made was specific to Bucks County and the lawsuit there. I did not quite your comment, so I am not sure why you are referencing that. It seems like you are trying to drag your comment into this when it was never brought up to start with.

    Let's try it again. Part of Trump's strategy, especially now with polling the way it is for him, is to start accusing Dems of cheating, widespread election fraud, etc. The Dem theory is he is trying to get his GED base ginned up again in preparation for Tuesday.

    On Wednesday, his campaign sued Bucks County and claimed on Truth Social “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scales rarely seen before.”

    As I said above, that statement of his has been debunked.

    Here, pick one or find your own and educate yourself. He is gearing the country up for another Jan6. If your service means anything to you, don't be a party to it.

    Take it up with the professor. He currently has GA too close to call.

    He is a smart guy so it should be taken seriously, but the fact that republicans are voting early is more a sign of Trump telling them to after telling them not to in the last few cycles, it’s dangerous to assign motivation to that number. And Trump carpet bombing the state with rallies says that other smart people with a lot more data than him don’t feel that way.
    In the end he could very easily be proven right as DT is favored by a bit there, but not sure why he would make this call, unless it’s to drum up paid supporters. He is putting his entire future as a nonpartisan numbers guy at risk. Or he makes his name, guess he figures it’s worth it.
    Again, we will know tomorrow (hopefully).
