I'm not happy with the ratios I'm seeing on UF Election Lab.

39% Democrats and 36% Republicans. Where as last time it was 45% Democrats and 30% Republicans.

NBC News Early Voting

In Pennsylvania Democrats cast 60% of the ballots, Republicans cast 30% of the ballots, and Others cast 10% of the ballots.

What did it look like in 2020 election?

65% Democrats and 25% Republican. Okay, back to worrying...

I find comparisons to 2020 to be pretty useless. COVID changed the entire game.

At this point, I wouldn't worry. There's nothing else to be done, and now it's just a waiting game. If Trump gets in, he gets in. There's nothing we can do about it except shake our heads at the people who vote for him.
 
It's so stupid that people will clutch pearls that Biden called MAGA garbage and think that's what will lose the election. Meanwhile, Trump is calling anyone that isn't white, garbage, and it's ok.
 
Arnie is voting for Kamala

I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

Full statement

Arnold
@Schwarzenegger
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. http://vote.org

MAGAs want to know what Kamala has on Arnie to make him betray the Republicans and become a commie.

Epstein list? Diddy video?

Didn't he sleep with his maid in his and his wife's bed? I'm not sure he really cares about a sex video becoming public. Besides, Hulk Hogan slept with his friends' wife, the video came out, and MAGA still loves him. Even if there was a video it wouldn't matter to MAGAs as long as he agreed with them.
 
Rep. Michael McCaul suggests Tim Walz's alleged romance with a Chinese woman in the 1980s -- when Walz was just a teacher, more than 15 years before he ran for office -- was part of the CCP's long game to "compromise" candidates

According to MAGAs every celebrity that endorses Kamala is only doing it because they are compromised.
 
The Twenty Committee could have done with them during the 2nd World War.
 
SCOTUS rejected RFK's bid to remove his name from Michigan and Wisconsin ballots. For once, they make a decision consistent with law. However, I believe they only did so because they think RFK being on those ballots helps Trump. I only have this opinion because the current SCOTUS have shown that they are very partisan and have no regard for law or precedent.

At this stage it's whether the Democratic party's get out the vote campaign will outrun the repugs supress the vote campaign like in 2020 or vice versa in 2016 which will decide.

It's who's got the best ground game, the party of democracy or the party of treason.
 
Trump at his North Carolina rally..
Trump: I just saw General Kellogg wherever he may be backstage… He is a real general not like Milley. Not like Kelly, low, he is a low IQ guy

MAGA want to sue over long lines. Aren't they the reason that laws making it harder to vote were passed?
 
Why is Trump wearing blackface?

Everything I'm hearing is the Democrats have the better ground game. Kamala has more people on the ground and Trump's campaign is much more disorganized and undisciplined.
