A record-breaking surge of mail-voting Democrats in Florida has handed Joe Biden a massive lead over President Donald Trump in his must-win home state. But here come the Republicans. The start of in-person voting Monday is expected to trigger a conservative wave that will build over the next two weeks and crest on Election Day. Around two-thirds of participating Florida GOP voters are likely to cast a ballot in person this fall, raising the question of whether Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, will be able to hold off a Trump comeback by the time the polls close at 7 p.m....

Researchers from the Brennan Center for Justice say their study...found that Milwaukee’s decision to close all but five of its 182 polling places reduced voting among non-Black voters in Milwaukee by 8.5 percentage points, and that COVID-19 may have further reduced turnout by 1.4 percentage points. That would mean the overall reduction in turnout among non-Black voters was 9.9 percentage points. Black voters experienced more severe effects: Poll closures reduced their turnout by an estimated 10.2 percentage points, while other mechanisms — including fear of contracting COVID-19 — lowered turnout by an additional 5.7 percentage points. Those factors combined to...

The current conventional wisdom is that 2020 will shatter previous election turnout numbers. This narrative is largely being claimed by progressive academics and journalists who have (correctly) observed that absentee, vote by mail ballot ("VBM") requests and returns have been off the charts this year, with Democrats "out-requesting" VBM by a 2 to 1 margin. Au contraire, a look at the numbers and a little logical thinking suggest that 2020 will have the LOWEST turnout in a generation. Consider the following: 1) There is ZERO evidence that black voters will turn out in AVERAGE numbers, let alone RECORD numbers. I...

I’ve been pondering the “battleground states” and how they might go depending on the various reports I’m hearing.Apparently, Joe Biden has been doing the same thing. His response, however, looks like one of desperation. It sounds like the word on the ground must not be very good for him. Why do I say this?Previously, Biden’s team had downplayed the fact that Biden wasn’t doing door to door canvassing like the Trump team. Joe Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, told reporters in the middle of September, “While you might hear our opponents spend a lot of time talking about the...

Bad news: Mail-in ballots cast in North Carolina as of today: 147K/46K/81K (Dem/Rep/Una) Good news: Mail-in ballots cast by race: 201K/44K/29K (white/black/other). Translation: 4.3% of white registered voters have already cast a mail-in ballot, versus 2.94% of black registered voters. THIS IS A DISASTER FOR DEMOCRATS (see below).

Because the American electorate is rather evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, turnout becomes the key to electoral success in November. While a lot can happen in nine months, there are five factors that I see discouraging Democrat turnout and helping the GOP. 1. The Biden family scandals Thanks to Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and the impeachment lynch mob, the lid has been blown off the Biden family’s practice of trading on the patriarch’s position to enrich themselves. Biden’s campaign is imploding, so he won’t be on the ballot. But the investigations of Hunter and Burisma are heating up and...

Even as the Iowa Democratic Party was trying to sort out the chaos in its reporting system, a party official announced that turnout was “on pace” with what they had seen in 2016. In other words, it was mediocre. About 170,000 people participated in the 2016 Iowa Democratic caucuses, far short of the unprecedented 240,000 voters who turned out in 2008 and launched Barack Obama on his way to the White House. What was so exciting a dozen years ago was not only how many Iowans showed up, but who they were: young people, first-time caucusgoers, an ethnically diverse mix...

Here in Hall County, GA- Murrayville specifically, the election official stated the number of voters exceeded 2016 totals by TWO PM today. RECORD turnout in red red red North Hall County. THAT is great news.

I'm feeling increasingly optimistic about the midterm elections, but I just wanted to toss out one particular data point for anyone who might not be making absolutely sure that they are going to get their vote recorded on November 6. I work for a nonprofit conservation organization based in San Francisco. As you might expect, the leadership and the employees (excluding yours truly of course!) are nearly all liberal. Last week, for the first time ever, we decided to close all of our offices on Election Day for a paid holiday so that our employees can not only vote, but...

SANTA MONICA, California — Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams looks thoughtful in in the lobby of a beachfront hotel on a sunny Thursday afternoon as he tells me that the phrase “jobs not mobs,” which he suggested on Twitter six days before, would be catchy — though he adds that Republicans had not yet used it. Literally minutes later, President Donald Trump tells a rally in Montana: “Democrats produce mobs. Republicans produce jobs.” The president tweets soon afterwards: “#JobsNotMobs.”

Folks in Florida....The early voting time frame is ending today. You can cast your votes on the Election Day, Tuesday, August 28, 2018. "ALL" Republicans must turn out and vote for your various Republican choices. The Republicans are, as of this moment, leading the Democrats in the early voting. Our entire family choice was Rick Scott, Senator, Ron DeSantis, Governor, Frank White, Attorney General. But...the choice of who you vote is yours. Do It..just vote!!! Go, Trump, Go MAGA!!

On Tuesday Troy Balderson defeated Democrat Danny O’Connor by less than 1% of the vote. Balderson had 100,052 votes compared to Tiberi’s 251,266 votes in 2016 or 40% of the 2016 turnout. Danny O’Connor had 98,364 votes on Tuesday compared to 112,638 votes received by Democrat Ed Albertson in 2016 or 87% of the 2016 Turnout. This should concern Republican party leaders. The GOP to do a better job or Trump is going to face a Democrat Congress ready to impeach him in 2019.

OK I just got back from the poll. It seems this will be a busy day, it was already full. Vote. This one is very important.

I thought would share this. I live in Dayton, OH in a pretty solid GOP district. I have lived and voted here for a number of years. I have never seen such the number of people out to vote! Typically I have to wait about 10 min. This year I am in for a solid 45 to 50 min wait. People are parked all over the place, in the grass, everywhere! I have to think this is a good thing for Trump. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Would have gone but just learned about it People lining up at six in the morning

The Washington Post ABC News poll bombshell that hit Hillary Clinton, was far more important than the news that she had finally fallen behind Donald Trump in its daily survey of voting preferences of likely voters. Embedded within the Wapo’s report of its findings was the very serious news that Trump supporters are 8 points more enthusiastic to vote than Clinton supporters are. Nobody wins an election for president when the other team has an enthusiasm lead like that – PERIOD. This is unarguably the death knell for Clinton’s staggering campaign to be the first president to be under criminal...
