I wish this was true but there is no way Jones is going to win that race..every other poll I have seen has shown him down about 13%...

Oh, I realize it is an outlier, but you never know. Tuberville has a room temperature IQ and has run a horrible campaign.

Michigan man dying of cancer, struggles to stay alive with the explicit purpose of casting a ballot, does so, dies, then his family is informed that his vote won't be counted.

That's unfortunate but it's a pretty solid counter to all of these concerns that mail in ballots are being sent to dead people.

Yes this should be brought up every time a dead person getting a ballot is cited as evidence of voter fraud. If a person can fill out their own ballot and vote but the vote isn’t counted because they are dead, a ballot sent to a voter who is already dead is not evidence of voter fraud.

I wish logic worked. Trump will just stay there have been many more where the person died and the ballot was still counted. Won’t be true but that won’t stop him of course.

Oh yeah that’s a lost cause I mean more trying to talk down reasonable but concerned friends and family etc. There are more organized safeguards when it comes to voting issues than people seem to think.

It won't work with Trump but there are a lot of people who just repeat what they hear without thinking about it. And people like Bill Barr have to go in front of congress occasionally and answer questions about the likelihood of voter fraud. When he says it is common sense that ballots sent to dead people or people who have moved can turn into votes, this is has to be brought up. That gets the media to repeat it and at least the "common sense" narrative is not just hanging out there on its own.

26 million people have voted already. In 2016 130m voted in total.

what was the 2008 total? Isn't that the high watermark? I bet we crush that this year.

Yes. I rounded. 2016 was 128.8, 2008 was 129.4.

so not significantly different. i thought it was way more.

TV news this morning reported just over 1 million people (In-person early and mail-in absentee combined) voted already in NC. That's about 14% of all registered voters in NC and about 22% of 2016 presidential election votes.

I’m voting for @realDonaldTrump because he’s NOT a politician. I voted for him 4 years ago for this reason and shall vote for him again for this reason. He gets things done quickly and he will turn the economy around quickly. There you have it folks there you have it

*shrug*

I hear Roseanne Barr is voting him as well

I do find it interesting that all Trump cultists, commoner and celebrity alike, use the same dumb, totally inaccuarate talking points to excuse their support for him. Everyone outside the cult realizes these idiots live in a "alternative fact universe" and dismisses their options accordingly.
