    270M of voting age, 250M eligible voters, 115-130M likely to turn out.

    Call it 72 hours to polls close. 37-43% early turnout… I’d say that’s a good sign. Near the blue wave of 2018.

    Of course perspective is warranted as 88M voters turned out in 2024 presidential election early. So obviously to early to call still.

      All I know is that it’s not done until everything’s counted and the dust settles. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of complaints and baseless lawsuits if it doesn’t go one specific way and not sure if that’ll cause delays in certifications

    I wouldn’t put it past them to attack the voting system directly, the mail in voting being something they’ve criticized as insecure and fraught with fraud …

    they’ve never stopped themselves when cheating in the past

      They already laid the ground work by changing post mark date from when you send mail to when the mail carriers forward it

        What I mean is they attempted to interfere with the USPS before, and were blocked by judges.

        In past election cycles they’ve made claims of widespread voter fraud by mail.

        Said time and again how it’s so easy to cheat that way.

        Now, they’re gonna cheat that way. They’ve cried wolf to the point we’ve had to tell them they’re nuts and wolves aren’t hiding in every bathroom and purse, and as such they’re gonna release the rabid wolves.
