Unreturned Mail-in Ballots

Hi there- What do you make of the 39 million unreturned ballots. In my mind, that is a big deal. Am I looking at this incorrectly?

Blue Wave

If this year is a blue wave, and I sure hope it is, should we be seeing signs of it already? I know the polling has been encouraging, but we have a lot of votes already cast. Is it too early to know yet?

October 28, 2020

This is probably a dumb question

Can you request an absentee ballot, not complete/return it, and then show up in person to vote?

From 538- Lawsuits Against States

This is from 538. No link included because the whole article is below:

Republicans are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a legal settlement reached by North Carolina to extend the absentee-ballot receipt deadline to Nov. 12.

The Supreme Court already allowed Pennsylvania’s new absentee-ballot deadline (postmarked by Nov. 3, received by Nov. 6) to stand, but Republicans have initiated a new lawsuit against it — possibly with the goal of having the Supreme Court reconsider the matter after Amy Coney Barrett has been sworn in.

Voting-rights groups are also asking the Supreme Court to allow Wisconsin to count ballots that arrive after Nov. 3 as long as they are postmarked by then.

Republicans are appealing a court ruling that affirmed Minnesota’s new rule that absentee ballots can count if they’re received as late as Nov. 10 (assuming they’re postmarked by Nov. 3).

The Texas Supreme Court is considering whether to overturn Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order that counties can have no more than one ballot drop site each.

And New Orleans is suing the state of Louisiana to allow absentee ballots to be dropped off at sites other than local election offices.
We should get a final word on these questions very soon.

Headline on Fox News Web Site

"Trump, Biden clash over Hunter Biden business questions at final presidential debate".

That was their major takeaway?

October 19, 2020

Trump better hope Biden doesn't appoint Whitmer as A.G.

I know it is a much lower position than Governor and it would never happen. But I think Trump will realize the importance of not burning all his bridges. And if the Senate flips, he better run far away.

Am I understanding Trump's Pandemic Solution?

We should all expose ourselves to the coronavirus and be given the Regeneron drug which will heal us in three days?
