2020 Presidential Election

[Safe-Keeper]

The question we all need to ask is why does Trump have ANY chance of winning?

In a sane world, the chances of a Biden win would be 100%. Then again, in a sane world, Trump wouldn't win in 2016 in the first place.

As it stands, he has a chance because statistical uncertainty is a thing, and even 80-90% is not 100%. Also because of voting manipulation, as others said .

Right on cue:

Texas Gov. Abbott issues proclamation CLOSING (as of Oct. 2) satellite offices where voters can drop off completed mail-in ballots.
Counties can only have 1 dropoff point, he says.
Travis has 4, including 3 downtown.
Harris has 12.

Good thing lots of people are voting early. I hope the voters help each others out.

We are all nervous because of what happened in 2016.

Nobody wants to be the guy in the horror movie who says "we're safe now, the monster is long gone!"

Trump poll watcher kicked out of election office in Philly.
The office just so happens to be run by the Center for Tech and Civic Life, which is funded by the Zuckerburg’s to the tune of $250 million.
Why do they fear transparency?

How is that even a thing?

Did they volunteer to count the ballots or something?

****** Their website.

Today, CTCL is a nationally-recognized nonprofit that partners with everyone — from rural election offices to the largest tech companies in the world.

I've seen that logo all over the place.


Update: OK, Zuckerberg's donation looks to be in line with Google's and a bunch of other organizations.

And their founder and development team are probably more left of center than not. Still, the idea of anyone managing vote counts across the country is a very bad idea.

I'm just going to take a stab in the dark here and guess this is another lie.

She was not registered as a poll watcher, she just showed and and declared herself to be one, and she was from out of the county.

She had no authorization to be there, so they told her to leave.

It is.

The 'incident' in question involves no poll watchers. Simple fact is there are no polls to watch right now.

What you had were Trump ""Observers"" who decided to 'visit' one several stations in Philly that allows folks to get their mail-in ballot and submit it in one convenient step.

For safety reasons, only people who are needing these services are allowed (along with staff, of course) in the buildings in question. Ergo they were denied entry.

Trump's """""Observers""""", even if they were registered poll watchers (they are not, certificates have not been given out yet), had no reason to be there: This is not a polling place. There are no machines, there was no tallying of votes, etc.

So Trump """""""""""Observers"""""""""""" tried to bully & bluff their way into a location where people can try and do the best they can vote early with at least some safety measures and these goons come in demanding entry, defeating the safety measures taken, and do god knows what to people trying to vote in peace.

This was a goon squad that wasn't allowed to goon.

Joe Bien tweeted

When I first ran for Senate, we put up a billboard that said, “Joe Biden: For all our families.”

It’s a motto that has guided me throughout my career.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican—I’ll be a president for all Americans, not just the ones who vote for me.

Even for the ones in prison. Like the Trumps.

He's gotten a doctor to lie for him before. Saying he got the virus if he didn't would give him the opportunity to either claim it as proof that the virus is insignificant or claim it as proof of how tough and hardy he is, or both.

I don't see the upside for him.
Two weeks quarantine are not good for him, politically or mentally.

 

[Firestone]

Agree.

There is a tendency to massage every new fact as being a positive for Trump.

Like: "He loses the debate? Ha!, now people don't talk about his tax returns."

Now, the biggest negative for Trump is his handling of the pandemic. All what his campaign was trying to do in the last few months was keep the pandemic out of the picture (focus on the economy, Antifa, SCOTUS, Hunter Biden, whatever).

Trump having (or claiming to have) COVID is unavoidably putting the focus of the campaign on the pandemic.

That's the negative Trump feared the most.
