So he is just out of money and doesn't want to pay for round-trip buses right?

Supposedly they haven’t been even paying for any of it and stiff the companies mid rally so they end up not going to pick people up for the return trip.

I didn't see the segment, but this is Dave Wasserman's electoral prediction:

Technically 320 since NH wasn't colored yet, but he has Nebraska's 2nd district going for Biden, Arizona and Georgia flipping, and interestingly, OH and FL going red but not being the decider in the election, which is one of many possibilities.

Are there going to be anymore polls released today?

I think this seems like the most realistic expectation. I don't think FL is flipping, and I think we all know TX is a pipe dream this election.

Yes, though I think their point is they won't make a huge difference in the state totals.

 

Honestly, I don't think it matters anymore. I'll definitely post polls as I see them, but we have a pretty good idea of where the states stand.

It's not anymore than Indiana and Virginia and North Carolina were pipe dreams for Dems in 08 or Michigan and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were pipe dreams for Reps.

 

Competitive, but not impossible states. Republicans wouldn't push to throw out 100k ballots if they thought it was a pipe dream. There are always states that are considered fool's gold until they're not.

 

I'm not saying expect Biden to win. But it's going to be close in Texas. Maybe it's 3 - 4 points close, but it'll be close.

Again, I said I think it's the most realistic expectation. Yeah it could happen, and if it happens, it's an orgy party for Democrats. But not happening is sort of the "default" expectation.

 

Also I'm not sure about AZ either, it's in a similar position to FL.

AZ is a different beast from Florida. Past two elections, Dems were underestimated in AZ and overestimated in FL. Could be the same again, but AZ was not like the Rust Belt or else we'd be talking about McSally beating Sinema. Plus the diversity of the Hispanic vote is different in FL than AZ.

Again, this isn't an, "I told you!" because the votes haven't all been counted. I'm not gonna demean anyone for being skeptical of Texas; I just think there's plenty of reason to believe it'll be close, and that a Biden win would be a shock to the nation but not necessarily a shocking outcome, if that makes sense.

I mean if there is one overriding philosophy to the GOP's modern election strategy it's that the less people get to vote the better.

 

So probably not a good sign for them that Texas is smashing turnout records all over the place.

More non-voters getting out to vote Biden

WWW.NBCNEWS.COM

An influx of newly registered voters, most of them Black, could make Joe Biden the first Democratic presidential nominee to carry the state since 1992.

 

Quote

Norman Williams hadn’t voted in 52 years.

 

But the 75-year-old retired Atlanta resident cast his first ballot since 1968 earlier this month for Joe Biden for one simple reason: His intense desire to see President Donald Trump kicked out of office.

 

“It’s everything about him. He’s a narcissist, he’s a liar, he’s a racist, he’s proven he doesn’t know what he’s doing,” Williams said.

 

“I had not thought about voting for years, because I always felt my one vote wasn’t going to mean nothing,” he added. “But it’s too important now to not do it.”

 

Williams is part of a fast-growing coalition of voters fueling a potentially major shift in the surprise 2020 battleground. Like him, they are freshly engaged in the political process, highly motivated and showing up in record-shattering numbers to vote early. Like him, most of these new voters are Black.

As a side note, exit poll coverage is going to be interesting this year. I think it's fairly obvious to most of us that turnout on election day is going to heavily favour Trump. I imagine some networks and stations will say things like "Exit polls show Trump winning the day's turnout, but keep in mind early voters lean Democrat," but I think we're going to get some lulzy commentary out of Fox.

I will say, I absolutely voted democrat for the national elections.i happen to live in a state where (at least where I live) republican isn't an option. For down ballot things, I voted green party for a few things.

 

Fuck democrats, fuck Joe Biden, fuck Kamala Harris, fuck the fucking fucks who pretend everything is fine. It's not fine (ironically I have a tattoo on my wrist that says "everything's fine"). I hope that if the democrats win, they realize they need to swing MORE left, not right. They can't keep running on "we're not as bad as them" or else we're fucked long term.

Joe was literally campaigning against m4a and was bragging “I beat the Socialist!”. 
As long as Nancy and Chuck are in charge, there is zero Chance.

I'm not as negative on Harris as many are (for her record as AG, prosecutor, etc), simply because in order to be a successful female prosecutor/AG you need to be 2x as aggressive/competent as the guy next to you. I have a friend who is a lawyer in California, and he said that she is definitely more liberal than her record supports. It's basically a situation of having to do bad things in order to climb the ladder and hopefully affect change 🤷‍♂️. We'll see if that holds true, of course.

She actively fought against DNA testing for cases she wrongfully prosecuted. Shes not a good person, she’s just better than Trump.
