I’m wondering, as no news has yet mentioned this, if mandatory mask wearing at the polls will cut back on the trumpettes in person voting totals. I know in my small trumpy town in Maine, outright refusal to wear one is common and sadly not enforced at local general store. They would rather not vote if it required a mask....

Those people likely already have the mentality of the "sovereign citizen" movement and have rejected the concept of America as a country anyway.
 
People are awful lite on predictions out here. At the risk of offending random strangers on the internet, here goes:

Won't call any swing state for Biden where the Nazis are counting the votes (FL, OH, GA, TX). I just don't trust the fukers. So take 2016 blue states and add PA, MI, WI, NC, and the congressional districts in northern Maine and Omaha as well as AZ. That gets Biden to 306.

Senate 51-49 Dems with CO, AZ, ME, NC and one surprise call MT offsetting 'Bama loss. Would have said Iowa last week but some late polls gave me pause. Most likely two runoffs in GA and that doesn't favor Dems.

Not following House races close enough.

If this were true it would prove without doubt the stupidity of the average republican voter. If you told me I COULD NOT wear a mask to the polling place because they have to be able to see my face to let me vote, I would have either complied or (much more likely) just voted early. Any trump voter who decline to participate because they didn't want to mask up is too stupid to live.

I mean it would be on brand...think of the "poll watcher" in Detroit who got kicked on for wearing it wrong. Pull the thing up two inches and you stay. She didnt and got the boot.
 
Most of us are already on record what we think...just because you are MIA these days doesn't mean we need to rehash it.

The flip of that is: Will folks tired of lockdowns come out and vote for candidates against them?

I learned a hard lesson about making predictions (okay, it was a "guarantee") in 2016, but I will say that it's heartening to hear about turnout records being blown away in Texas metro areas where the voters are certainly not voting for McDonald. Texas flipping would be enormous, and would shut up a lot of people that need to shut up.

Has there been a lockdown anywhere in the US in the last six months? I know the MI "lockdown" is a Fox News myth. Even back in March I was driving to work full time as an "essential" worker that absolutely nobody would have missed.
The biggest mistake we ever made with Covid was NOT locking down last winter when it could have helped.
 
What does everyone make of the Secretary* Clinton (or should that be Senator* Clinton?) tweet about noon today about "Do not lost heart. (Vote)"? @HillaryClinton



*@Kepler Which is proper? Secretary or Senator as the address? I know Ed Schafer liked "Mr Governor" better than "Mr Secretary (Ag)" ... until I got to call him "Mr president" (of UND).

We should be hearing about Clinton the race any time now amirite?

Why Righties are obsessed with her and Hunter Biden i will never know.
 
A former co-worker of mine posted this today along with a picture of him camping out at the polls this morning in Indianapolis.

5am at the polling station. Had my coffee and chair...this was Plan B.
USPS lost my absentee ballot. I sent it via Priority Mail on October 6 and they lost it. I delivered it with another PM letter that day and both were not scanned in. Their answer when I called? If you didn’t hand it to us and get a receipt...we didn’t get it. I reported that statement to Marion County Election Board and after their check yesterday, they didn’t have my ballot. So I went first thing this AM and filled out some paperwork and voted with a provisional ballot.
My point? If you voted absentee and your local county has not recorded it as received, CALL them and then go and get to a polling station so you can vote. There are a lot of people affected by this so get out and check to make sure your ballot was received. It’s extra work, yes but we need to make our voices count, no matter what it takes.

For the most part after May there were no "lockdowns." And in places that did "lock down" most people were completely in favor of it. Polls repeatedly showed most people wanted the government to do more in terms of "lockdowns" than they were. The same goes for mask mandates, and polls still show people are in favor of mask mandates. Where people did not want to be told what to do they either weren't (most of your red states) or they ignored it, which was and is prevalent here in WI.

I had one employer rigidly enforce the WI mask mandate and that employer did it only because they are an otherwise horrible place that likes to fvck with their employees and believe if they aren't firing at least one person every pay period, the inmates will run the asylum. I had no employer out of four in MN enforce it rigidly, although one did give a half-a ss ed effort at getting people to at least wear face shield, even though that did not necessarily meet the mandate as MN presented it. People have been otherwise ignoring the mask mandate at about a 50% clip as far as I have observed in MN and WI. Meaning as best as I could tell if you didn't agree with the mandate you ignored it, and if you did you generally followed it.

This kind of sort of helps.

Happily, if you are putting their name on an envelope both a Senator and a Cabinet Secretary are addressed as "The Honorable," so with Clinton you can finesse it.

President, Vice President, Senator, Congressperson, and Ambassador are all certainly titles which are still used even after the term ends. I am not sure about Secretary, but I would guess... um... yes?

My assumption is, among honorifics in the United States, precedence would be granted to a voted office over a nominated office because Two Cheers for Democracy.

Therefore, Senator > Secretary.

I think.

Very good question. :-)

Senator is probably the norm, but I might give preference to Secretary for a former Secretary of State, which is 4th in the pecking order for the Presidency if there's a crisis. IDK. Who cares?
