They're cherry picking bogus, low count polls to show that... dchill Oct 2022 #74

Because polls are all bullshit, supposed to make us think we've already lost, Meadowoak Oct 2022 #13

Are there numbers for mailed-in absentee ballots? onenote Oct 2022 #16

They called it early voting so I think people are showing up at early voting sites. I have heard Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #18

The comparison to 2020 is interesting, but irrelevant. OilemFirchen Oct 2022 #38
