For instance, this a poll of likely voters. As you know there is a huge Republican effort to block as many Dem voters as possible this time. There will also be the usual misdirection through robotic calls and flyers sending people to the wrong polling places on the wrong day. Then there are the vagaries of electronic voting. There are a lot of things that can steal this election.
