    I do not know which side this favors, but it is a great deal if more Texans voted.

    trump is such an embarrassment, sending out a release suggesting voting issues, then having to rerelease it to avoid further embarrassment, despite a miniscule number of ballots (which all went to trump's favor) and without any real info on what the real problem with the ballots...

    Wouldn't it be "funny" if Trump lost the EC by a total of say 200K votes?

    Trump has the #KillGrandmaNow vote locked down. I won't says its airtight, but it’s pretty close to airtight,

    Just more campaign lies Trump is adding to his neverending list of made up accomplishments.

    I can imagine the BS that will be flowing out of his mouth at the debates. They will need to throw a bunch of hay on the ground at his feet to scoop it all up easier afterwards.

    Manufacturing

    Trump claimed that "we brought back 700,000" manufacturing jobs.
    Facts First:
    This was not even true before the pandemic-driven recession: as of February, 483,000 manufacturing jobs had been added during Trump's presidency. As of the most recent data, from August, 237,000 manufacturing jobs had been lost under Trump.
    Coal
    After denouncing Biden for the Obama administration's efforts to reduce the use of coal, Trump said, "I saved it. I put our miners back to work."
    Facts First:
    As of August, 5,300 coal mining jobs had been lost under Trump. (As of February, it was a loss of 1,000.) And the industry generally continues to decline. Amid a continued shift by utility companies toward cheaper natural gas and cleaner renewables, US coal production fell in 2019 to the lowest since 1978, when there was a major strike. Multiple coal companies have filed for bankruptcy in 2019 and 2020.

    On this page alone we are seeing “fact checks” from cnn and Paul Keugman quoted.

    Zero credibility.

    We may get 2008 level turnout among young voters. That’s bad for Trump.

    Ever since the beginning of the Democratic presidential primaries, one big worry about Joe Biden was that he would fail to inspire passion and energy in young voters. But since then, we’ve seen both the coronavirus crisis and protests against police brutality explode across the country — both of which might prove, for young people, to be defining political events.

    Could that help produce the sort of youth turnout in this election that we last saw in 2008, when Barack Obama’s first presidential run inspired young people to pour out to the polls in unprecedented numbers?

    The answer to this might be yes, according to a new poll of 18- to 29-year-olds from the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics.

    The poll finds that among likely voters in that 18-to-29 demographic, Biden is leading President Trump by 60 percent to 27 percent among likely voters. That’s significantly better than the 49 percent that Hillary Clinton got in this poll in 2016.
