I don't know how but these results does not pass the smell test to me.
If Trump gets a second term America is dead.
We have to get rid of those God Damn machines.
We are now seeing why Mitch McConnell blocked any and all election security actions.
This should have been a landslide of epic proportions by any metrics.
You had the former Republican Governor OH, Kasich coming out for Biden.
You had Sen. Flake of Arizona coming out for Biden.
You had the Republican Chairman of the Florida Senate coming out for Biden.
Trump has to be the least popular and the worst President in American history
and he has been bleeding support and but he added to his 2016 count?

Unless we want Russia or other foreign countries deciding our elections every year. Its frightening just how easy it is for these voting machines to be hacked.
Not just the machines. There was obvious voter suppression in multiple forms. AGAIN.

(33,120 posts)The fact the hold up seems to be more than coincidentally in the exact states Il Douche needs only makes the game obvious.
It's probably a complex combination of suppression, intimidation, and votes stuck in limbo.
Maybe, instead of political lines, pollsters should move to using market areas (such as are used by the real estate & broadcasting) to make their forecasts.

(13,964 posts)People dont answer pollsters anymore. Even good polls say that only 1 out of 100 people that they call actually answer the phone and participate in the poll. So we really dont know the profile of the people who are more inclined to participate.

(22,478 posts)Now Joe is winning every poll and he almost lost. He had a 90 - 97% chance of winning by all the serious statistical models.
Something is seriously fucked in this country.

The # 1 issue according to the polls for 70% of the American people was the C-19 pandemic
this election shouldn't have been even close.
