it’s trafalgar, if dems are up, they’re ahead

fwiw–the sharps I follow out there in the politics betting realm are either thinking that or it’s damn close

I’d be shocked if dems lost by 6 with the data I’ve seen so far

Saw a commerical tonight with a lady who said she voted for Biden, but she’s voting for Loeffler and Perdue because we need to calm down and restore balance to the government.

That lady’s crazy. The Sith must be destroyed before balance is restored.

There’s a small but enough number of people who want a divided gov’t.

dems got 2 years to get anything done with best case scenario, joe manchin having to approve anything

a lot of people honestly, sincerely believe garbage like this. gridlock is a virtue to them. these people are extremely uninformed about what’s actually going on in the universe but are maxxing out dunning-kruger effects.

Not sure if this made national news but they actually did do the infamous “signature audit” that Trump wanted in Cobb County. They sampled ~15k signatures on envelopes and concluded that 2 should have been rejected and sent back to the voter for curing. And I guess one of those two was a wife that had signed on behalf of her husband.

It was in the main trump thread or the election thread.

Early voting increased turnout from the black community indicates about a 1.5% shift Dem vs the general, all else being equal. If turnout is lower then it will be more.

Issue is that the data we have isnt great. The good polling firms aren’t diving into this contest because there is a ton of uncertainty. There’s no data suggesting the Lin Wood boycott is influencing anyone meaningfully. I’ve been quiet because a lot of this amounts to reading tea leaves

Nate had something about how the 1-2 margin is more predictive than total R vs total D

I think he said something along the lines that if

D 1st 46
R 2nd 40
R 3rd 12

Would actual predict a very close runoff. Basically add back in half the missing R candidates total as some will stay home and some will actually switch and vote D I guess cause they hate the lead r?

^numbers are made up example just a general concept.

Yeah but I have no hope.

This is so incredibly important and consequential, but I just can’t turn the dial back up. Fully expect to lose in the most heartbreaking possible way.

GA is definitely gonna rig this election right?

Ban polling, not even kidding.

Shout out to the “polls were actually pretty close” crowd, only off by 10% in Wisconsin, A+ job. Always maintain the condescending tone too, eat shit Nate

The polls taken in my house were 100% Biden, 0% Trump. Had Biden as the winner, so looks pretty good to me.
