All this started because Biden wouldn't meet with Cube for his platinum plan. Biden's team didn't even entertain it to pander to the black vote. Now these dummies are flocking to trump because trump is willing to have a meeting to use them as tools.
We'll see. Trump is not polling very well in the sprawling suburbs, nationally, and the over-performance in that map kinda correlates with those areas. Interesting. EDIT: Williamson, one of the overperformers, is filled to the brim with geriatrics. Sun City or whatever, and all the retirement communities around Georgetown. But it also has Round Rock, one of the most suburby places in all of TX, and heavily serving the Austin work world.
I saw a dude at the post office in Sugar Land with no mask on with his yellow mail in ballot and he smiled at me. I wanted to burn his ballot, lol.
300 million that could've been spent on better healthcare equipment, PPE distribution, or testing infrastructure. What a wasteful flimflam reality TV presidency. We get what we vote for, whether willingly or neglectfully
Finally watched a couple of campaign ads on Thursday Night Football, Biden had 3 Generals and an Admiral saying Trump was dangerous. Trump showed a Leni Riefenstahl film.
8th Circuit has ruled that MN can only accepts ballots up to 8PM on Nov. 3rd. https://www.kare11.com/article/news...n-day/89-6dccc710-c1eb-46ea-8b92-4f6e12e5efe8 Court: Late-arriving Minnesota absentee ballots must be separated, may not be counted The ruling casts doubt on whether absentee ballots received after Nov. 3 will be counted. A ruling by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday has thrown uncertainty into Minnesota's absentee ballot process, with less than a week until the election. In a ruling issued Thursday, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered absentee ballots arriving after Election Day to be separated and potentially removed from the final vote totals, depending on future court rulings. A ruling by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday has thrown uncertainty into Minnesota's absentee ballot process, with less than a week until the election. In a ruling issued Thursday, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered absentee ballots arriving after Election Day to be separated and potentially removed from the final vote totals, depending on future court rulings. "The Secretary and his respective agents and all persons acting in concert with each or any of them are ordered to identify, segregate, and otherwise maintain and preserve all absentee ballots received after the deadlines set forth in (Minnesota law) ... to be removed from vote totals in the event a final order is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining such votes to be invalid or unlawfully counted," the ruling's conclusion stated. U of M political science and law professor Tim Johnson said the essence of the lawsuit comes down to the separation of powers between the state legislature and the state executive branch. According to Johnson, the opinion is saying that the Secretary of State, who is legally part of the executive branch, does not have the authority to alter state election dates. Johnson says if the state legislature would have spelled out these dates itself in a new law, there would be no lawsuit. According to Simon, he has the option to take the ruling to the Supreme Court, but hasn't made a decision whether that action will be taken. "We're huddling, as you might imagine, we have already and will again this evening with our attorneys at the Attorney General's office to figure out precisely what the course of action is," Simon said. "But just so everyone knows, to be mindful of, we're not the only similarly situated party. There are outside, so called 'interveners,' who also have standing to do the same thing. So, we need to know what they're doing, and then we need to figure out what we're doing. "We don't want to do anything hastily – time is of the essence, obviously – but we want to make sure that we're doing things very carefully and thoroughly." According to Simon, nearly 400,000 mail-in ballots are still outstanding, but he added that they could still be in transit or haven't yet been mailed, so he continued to urge people, if they still have their ballots, to drop them off in person. RULING REACTION “The court's decision is a tremendous and unnecessary disruption to Minnesota's election, just days before Election Day," Secretary of State Simon said in a statement. "This last-minute change could disenfranchise Minnesotans who were relying on settled rules for the 2020 election — rules that were in place before the August 11 primary and were accepted by all political parties. It is deeply troubling that the people who brought the lawsuit, a conservative legislator and presidential elector, would seek to sabotage the system for political gain. "I won’t let any Minnesota voter be silenced," Simon added. "My mission is now to make sure all voters know that a federal court has suddenly changed the rules, and that their ballot needs to be received by Election Day." In an interview on CNN following the ruling, Gov. Tim Walz said the state will do everything it can to ensure all votes are counted. "What I’d tell people is that this ruling means they’ll segregate those ballots. But well over 1.2 million ballots have already been received," Walz said. "I would tell voters if you have a ballot in your hand now, drop it off in person." The Minnesota Republican Party applauded the court's ruling. "The pandemic has caused upheaval in many areas of life but hiding behind the pandemic to manipulate the election process is not democratic, and we appreciate that our laws and interpretation of those laws matter," Minnesota GOP chair Jennifer Carnahan said in a statement. "The Republican Party of Minnesota encourages Minnesotans to either vote absentee in person or vote in person on Election Day. Nobody should be disenfranchised because of the Democrats unconstitutional actions." WHAT VOTERS CAN DO For voters, the best way to ensure their ballots are counted will be to ensure their ballots are received by Nov. 3. Minnesota voters who have already returned their absentee ballots by mail can track their ballot online at the Secretary of State's Office to see if it has been received by their county election office. RELATED: How to track your vote in MN Voters who recently mailed their ballots who may be concerned about meeting the Nov. 3 deadline can choose to cast their vote during in-person early voting or on Election Day at their regular polling location instead. Doing so will cancel the mailed ballot, and it will not be counted, even if it is received by the Nov. 3 deadline. "As long as your absentee ballot hasn’t been counted by your election officials, you may still cast a ballot in person by voting in your polling place on Election Day or at your local early voting location," the Secretary of State's website reads. RELATED: Can you change your vote in Minnesota? Absentee ballots may also be returned in-person by 3 p.m. on Election Day to the county election office that sent the ballot. Most importantly, the Secretary of State's office notes that absentee ballots cannot be dropped off at a polling place on Election Day, they must be returned to the county election office.
Trump is like some sick predator luring in the naive and weak minded to his Covid spreading rallies. Here, sign my Covid waiver, just in case. The only difference between Jim Jones & Trump is that Trump will turn his back on them & walk away after they drink the Kool-Aid.
Both Trump and Biden were in FL today. And it looks like in the final days, Trump is hitting GA, MN, IO while Biden is hitting WI, MN, IO. Is PA done?
I know we are all worried about mail in votes and delayed votes being counted and not thrown out but honestly I think this is why we have seen such a surge in early in person voting. Dems want their votes to count and no shenanigans. The blue wave is coming just be patient a few more days.
I think these cutoff lawsuits are going to have an opposite effect on what was intended. It's a bad look, and if the democrats get their messaging and mobilization right, prior non-voters may turn. I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze for this republican strategy, but maybe it's the only shot to win.
