WI and MI were very close in 2016. This could easily make the difference, unfortunately. But with any luck there will be enough swing votes that have been appalled by Trump's behavior that it doesn't swing the states back his direction.

You don't get it. PTWB Aug 2020 #18

I get your point, but I don't think the cultists were ever not going to vote. Thomas Hurt Aug 2020 #28

That applies to his base. Not to the independents and moderates Trump flipped in 2016. PTWB Aug 2020 #41

I do wonder if you're right esp. in a place like WI AleksS Aug 2020 #45

Absolutely there will be some. PTWB Aug 2020 #57

Gun enthusiasts are one demographic that votes in high percentages in every election. Kaleva Aug 2020 #56

When mere tenths of one percent make the difference in a state like in 2016.. PTWB Aug 2020 #58

If that close, automatic recounts go into effect and that didn't happen in 2016 Kaleva Aug 2020 #60

HRC lost Michigan by 10,704 votes - or 3 tenths of 1%. PTWB Aug 2020 #61

Ok. Kaleva Aug 2020 #62

Gun-humpers have always voted. All the 66% who aren't into gunz, need to as well. Think this helps. Hoyt Aug 2020 #15

Technically this is about fraud and corruption committed by the NRA, not on gun control still_one Aug 2020 #29
