Relocated 2 blue votes from Wise County in 2020 (lol, good times) to WilCo. We're doing our best!

However, the parents moved from Montgomery County to Sun City to be closed to their grandkids. You can probably guess what their ballot will look like with no further information.

I've contemplated implementing a "You want to see your grandson? I'm going to need to see your ballot before you mail it" campaign for my inlaws. 

But I realized they'd just pick the ballot.

You motherfuckers are slipping. 

We all need that link.

I do note that, while 2022 is not 2020, on this date in 2022, Fetterman was leading 49-45 in the polling average, and he ultimately won by 5.  But somehow the polling narrowed to a tie a month later when engagement was the highest and then Oz up 0.3 pre-Election Day. 

On this date in 2022, Kelly was up 6 points in the average, and ultimately won by 5.  BUT AGAIN - polling narrowed to a statistical tie on November 7 and Masters up 0.3 pre-Election Day.  

On this date in 2022, Laxalt was up 1.2 and OH LOOK, it dropped into a statistical tie a month later, with Laxalt up 2.7 pre-Election Day.  CCM won by 0.8

Kansas abortion referendum - it's 50/50!!!!! It passed by 18 points. 

It's just fucking clicks and engagement.  A tied or close race close to the election = more clicks, more eyeballs, more revenue, more TV time. 

I also have theories that since democrats vote earlier the answer to the polling question of who do you intend to vote for becomes moot, they just don't answer, this is just something I pulled out my ass of course but it kinda makes sense, I don't know how pollsters handle this scenario.

Susquehanna (PA)

Tie - 46-46
Casey +8

It's so funny that Xitter was hyping up this poll would show Trump up 1 and the other one from this morning would show Trump up 3.  Neither did.

Nightly walk update — some new Harris/Walz signs up in neighborhood. Harris households now outnumber the orange shitstain on our two mile route, 12-5. (I am under no illusion that we are flipping Texas.)

So in my neighborhood, which is pretty consistently 2/3rds Democratic, I've seen two Trump signs.  One is a handwritten sign of crazy.  The other is a campaign sign just next to the old beater pick-up truck in the driveway that is really very incongruous with the neighborhood.

A quick thought on that Trump sign, if you haven't seen those campaign signs.  It's blue, for one.  And that strikes me as odd in a world in which red has become the universally understood color of the GQP.  But for another, the font size is very small.  Shockingly small for something that says "TRUMP" on it.  It almost implies a certain shame--"I'm putting out this yard sign, but I don't actually want to advertise that I'm voting for that guy."

There are houses in the neighborhood that always have their GQP campaign signs out, no matter whether the candidate at the top of the ticket is Trump or Cruz or Abbott, but which don't have anything right now.  Maybe it's just too early.  I don't know.

And I think all this is meaningless.  But it's interesting to observe on an otherwise-slow Wednesday.

That will be the next criticism.  "How can voters understand this? It's too technical and wonky" 

IT'S FOR YOU FUCKING SHITBAGS IN THE MEDIA TO EXPLAIN TO VOTERS SINCE YOU DEMANDED SPECIFICS

Trump said today that Ukraine is completely destroyed, and that it will take centuries to rebuild it. Also, every nation on Earth could pool their money together, and it wouldn't be enough to rebuild Ukraine.

Of course.
Except it’s not, not even close. Most cities are just fine. Some damage, but fine. Kyiv still stands, e.g.
And gee…have we ever seen a European country that took even more damage than Ukraine? I guess the answer is “no,” if you don’t consider England, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Russia, and several others after WWII. Seems to me they were all rebuilt in a few decades, without bankrupting earth.
There’s nothing he says that’s not wildly false or wrong. Not a single thing.

My neighbor on one side has like 50 pieces of his nazi flare all over his front yard and the neighbor on the other side is some sort of Travis County Democratic party admin and has his single Harris sign. I hate them both and just have my Astros flag flying. If the bullets start flying I am going to make for damn sure they know this yard is a DMZ. Pretty sure they both know I am crazier than a shithouse rat.

I grew up in OK, so I probably had that moment a few years before you had.  I remember sitting there thinking, why should I respect adults, when so many of them are fucking stupid...

Sitting in OK right now.  Was shocked to see that OK was one of two states where every single county went to Trump.  Even majority Native American counties.  WTF.

Met Beto today.  Really nice guy.  Approachable and doing good work 

I met him at easy Tiger. Asked me about my NAFO cap which I was happy to talk about. He thought it was pretty cool.

Okie City and Tulsa are purplish.  The rest of the state is MAGAstan.

As of today 6 Harris signs on my street and none for Trump. There was a Trump flag about a half mile south but I think it’s gone now. Next closest was about 3 miles south. He’ll still win the county but it’ll be mostly straight party line voters.
