Did I hear the Fayetteville rally was postponed because of weather? Too bad, if so. It was blustery this morning, but I live 45 minutes from there and the weather, now, is fine.

i lived in Fayetteville 2013-2014... 5 kinds of weather in one day every day!!!

Yea, it’s Trump’s fault! He did move out the dept of the interior.

Good luck. I would think twice about going to med school in today’s climate but i hope your studies go well!

I’m aimed at med school *because* of today’s climate.

But you are needlessly tormenting yourself. No one will know the outcome until the votes are counted.

What these threads do is extrapolate the current numbers based on history. It won’t bring you the surety that you seem to be wanting.

Based on the numbers, Trump (based on 2016) has turned the corner and is set up for victory.

So take comfort from the numbers.

“In 2020, as of today, whites have cast 87%(!) of all the early votes.”

How is that known? Nobody is standing near the boxes writing down the race of voters as they drop off their ballots.

Are they checking the envelopes for “honkey” cooties?

“It is beyond anything I have ever seen.”

Have you read Saint Faustina’s description of Hell?

Some southern states are court ordered to record race on voter registrations.

“Some southern states are court ordered to record race on voter registrations.”

Great googly moogly.

“Some southern states are court ordered to record race on voter registrations.”

But wait a minute. Colorado is not a Southern state. And I don’t remember putting down my race...

I ran a congressional campaign. Voter files from the state have this information. So do commercially available voter files.

[jjotto]

Interesting.

Maybe they’re the same people doing opinion polls...

[dsc]

“Voter files from the state have this information.”

What state?

[Cool Guy]

I will not be surprised if CA turns RED.

I wonder if they mean “non-Hispanic whites.” Colorado is 87% white when Hispanic is not treated as a separate category.

Go to TargetSmart website on early voting. They have all the data you need. Campaigns have access to all kinds of voter information, including race, sex, and race.

What Man from Oz describes as a ping I would describe as a bookmark (going back to read later). I use “ping” as a shout out to others that I think might like to read a thread, and I have nothing else to say except “Hey, over here!”
