LOL.
for real though how does one become an elector

“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has just revealed that she is an elector for New York in the Electoral College this year, saying, “I'm sure I'll get to vote for Joe and Kamala in New York."

Some are elected from the districts, some (like Hillary) are party poobahs. It's all state party skullduggery. It's pretty gross; nice people don't look too closely.

While these hopefully tell a happy story, mookie registered in his new state as a “R” and requested a mail in ballot. Checked both choices D and sent it in.

so registrations point, but don’t tell

Sure. You did that. So far, anecdotally, so are a lot of other people.

I doubt there are very many doing the opposite.

Almost but there is still work to be done.... Texas needs to build up Dallas/Fort Worth and probably some of Houston. North Carolina still has a good amount of red in Charlotte. Columbus+Cleveland and Indianapolis are blue dots on SS Letterhead. I want every "Urban" area north of 100K to be blue beyond recognition. Let the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Alabama be the only places where a R candidate won't need to hold a rally to carry the EV...

I know this won't eliminate Red at the state or local level (IL is a perfect example of this) but it will do on a national one...

I agree. One good thing is this tends to happen naturally. As cities grow they become more diverse and more liberal --> better policies --> smarter (i.e. more liberal) people move in --> better education --> better policies --> smarter (i.e. more liberal) people move in. The virtuous cycle of civilization which has slowly taken humanity from a war of all against all of gimme gimme isolated conservative beasts to rational, moral, interdependent liberal communities.

Look at Phoenix. Conservatard racist sh-t hole one generation ago. Now a burgeoning, multiracial, purple city. Solid blue, prosperous, racially blended future.

Meanwhile, conservative backwaters are the reverse. The only people who stay are the failures who keep repeating the same failed policies because they are too dumb to know they are failing. It's the Dunning-Kruger of city and regional planning.

Early votes are split pretty evenly over the 4 congressional districts. District 4 (NW Iowa - Steve King country) has about 35k less total early votes than the others, which are all in the 210-215k range.

The current margins in the 3 D-leaning districts are all about the same, 105-110k D early votes to 60-65k R early votes. District 4 is 75k R to 70k D.

There will be one last big change in numbers on Monday, as the Saturday before election day generally brings out a decent number of early voters.

And I don't know the threshold for sure. I can tell you Axne won her Congressional seat two years ago carrying Polk County by about 35k votes while losing all the rest of the counties in the district. Since a statewide race has to make up for Steve King's R-heavy district, a Dem has to carry Polk County by more than that to win. But I don't know where that is. I think it's about 50k. But don't know for sure.

Excellent info thank you very much :-) :)

Once Dems gain enough power in North Carolina and Georgia to fix voting rights once and for all, it's game over for the current flavor of the Republican Party. Flo(R)ida, Ohio, and Pennsyltucky aren't going to be enough to drag them over the line anymore. Texas will continue along the same path that is starting to pay off for Arizona - soaking up West Coast transplants who bring their scary librul soshulist thinkin' with them.

This is what the GOP is scared of if you read between the lines. 2022 in Texas is very scary and if the Dems gain more ground in the state house they will take it back in 2022 as Abott goes down in flames. Same holds true in Georgia. Unless the GOP is able to somehow either sway Blacks or Women to their side the Electoral Shift the next couple years is going to be striking.

And I dont say that as some eternal optimist...2018 was a harbinger and if it holds this time (which it appears it will at this point) then it is not just a one shot deal it is a trend. The GOP can win if every White Person votes for them because of the EC...but if White Women are split then it is all over but the shouting.

It could be...much like other disasterous Presidents that inadvertently lead to amazing reform and change...that in 40 years people say "Trump damned near destroyed us and pissed on every institution we have but we wouldnt have half the things we have now if we hadnt been motivated to destroy him!". That is my hope anyways.

Biden +8 and Peters rebounded to +8 in the final NYT Michigan poll. I suspect an increase in straight party voting on the Dem side might end up bailing out Peters.

Joe and Obama are both coming to Michigan on Saturday, location and time still TBA.

So it would seem the poll that had him tanking was most likely an outlier like the poll saying Smith is up only 1 here?

Scooby,

I think she will...but yeah she is not very inspirational. If she survives this one though I think much like Amy she will have the spot as long as she wants it. Why the MNGOP ran Lewis I will never know.

Oh, geez, it was a light-hearted jibe poking at all kinds of prior posts on this board suggesting that the guy wearing wrap around shades is a republican or that woman complaining about wearing a mask is a republican or those people sitting on the beach without masks are definitely republicans. I usually just chuckle at the skills of posters around here to make that assessment like a bunch of phrenologists or something.

I probably should have gone with the Potter Stewart porno reference "they'll know them when they see them," which was my first impulse, but it's so overused.

Fair enough.

If I had to guess without reading the opinion, NC previously allowed votes received post election day to count and Wisconsin didn't. SCOTUS is generally loathe to have courts switch rules this late in the game.

Thank you.

as dumb and partisan as I think Brett can be, I’m also sure he based it on something

At this point I think we should just start saying that Trump was in the shower at PSU with Sandusky and the kids...
Click to expand...

Honestly, would it make any difference with his supporters? I am asking that as a serious, albeit rhetorical I guess, question. I doubt it would. The lowest form of human filth is a person that can intentionally harm a child. trump is only one step above that already. Unless one of his supporters actually walked in on him in the shower raping a 12 year old boy, they would either blow it off as fake news, or make an excuse for it. trump is not the only problem when a third of America thinks like this. Electing Biden is essential, but it is not sufficient.
 
Here is the AP Story

In reality the GOP argument was kind of crap anyways. They are saying (in part of it) that it is unfair to the people who turned in their ballots earlier under the original November 6th deadline.

The appeals, including one led by the state’s Republican legislative leaders, argued that the deadline change put in place by the State Board of Elections usurped legislators’ constitutional authority to set rules for elections. They also said the change made after early voting started would create unequal treatment of voters who had cast ballots under previous, stricter rules.

I mean that is true...but all it did was give them less time to turn in a ballot...they already turned in like a month ago. And the GOP is arguing it on behalf of people who arent really making that argument themselves and havent been harmed in any way because of it...unless they are saying those people would have waited and instead of putting in their vote in late September/early October they would have done it on Election Day. But I dont know how that would be A) provable or B) make a difference anyways since the vote would be counted the same either way. (unless they assume the mail is delayed that long)

It was a desperate grasp at straws hoping to prove that an election board doesnt have the authority over...elections. That would be a rather dumb precedent to set.

As for why McRapey joined...well I would like to think he did because his opinion in the WI case was so ripped to shreds he decided not to go against his own personal history in Gore v. Bush...but more likely Roberts swayed him on the "states have the right to decide for themselves" idea. As uno said they dont like to change the rules this late.
