But have to see if it continues into the day Quote
Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 I'm also not buying that only Republicans will be voting on election day. Republicans will win the election day vote but I think more Democrats are voting election day than they did in 2020. Quote

Expand That's definitely true in Philadelphia, which is gonna be an 80-20 type breakdown. It wasn't gonna all be mail ballots there. Quote
1984Echoes Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Wasn't certain I put this in the correct location... Whatcha think...? Edited November 8, 2022 by 1984Echoes 1 Quote
1984Echoes Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 The should have registered beforehand... Better late than never I guess... And... it's not late if they get their vote in today. So potentially... moot point. Keep it coming kids... Quote
Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Apparently it's snowing in Nevada. Could suppress turnout. Quote

romad1 Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Usually a good understander of election things Wexton losing to Huang Cao or whatever his name is would be weird. I saw so many ads for him though. Quote

Expand It's also raining heavily in Orange County where there are some swing districts. It's weird how Republicans turned against banking votes but they seemed to have learned they can't win when more people vote. Quote
CMRivdogs Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Especially with an aging population/base. Seniors don't particularly like to stand in line. Especially when you can stop on your way home from lunch/shopping/doctor visits etc. Who wants to make a special trip to the local school/church/community center on a Tuesday? Quote
CMRivdogs Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 I think the Virginia turnout is fueled by a combination of election fatigue...three "major elections in three years" and a number of Congressional districts where there is only one question on the ballot and the makeup of the district leaves it where there is no contest to speak of. There are only two districts in the state where there is likely to be a close contest. Three years of political ads can wear a person out if they're not political Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 My concern is Wasserman seems to be projecting bad turnout nationally for Dems based on Florida and Virginia. Quote

Motown Bombers Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 All the Democratic voters in Virginia are being bussed to Philadelphia and all the Democratic voters in Florida are being bussed to Atlanta. Quote
