I don't want to view the police as being big villains, but their actions in the US and Trump's whole "Law & Order" rhetoric makes it hard not to.

There's more ftp news coming out of Philly, where there have been protests the last few days after another black man was shot by police.

https://twitter.com/ryanjreilly/status/1321869280951050240

Police smashed the windows of a car in, removed the driver and took the child, all so that they could pose with said black child for propaganda purposes. Their posts have since been deleted.

The police do more to legitimize the full-blown "Abolish the police" folks and their stance than the people actually in favor of abolishment do

Texas has passed its overall 2016 turnout as of today. And there's still a day of early voting left (and Election Day itself obviously)

that's fucking insane

Actually, winning Florida wouldn't necessarily clinch things for Biden. You really want to be scared, try imagining a map where Biden takes Florida but is still just short of victory thanks to slow counting states.

If Biden wins Florida, though, I think it's safe to say he'll win Michigan.

Thats not the concern though. The concern is Michigan likely wont call on election night, leading Trump to start rallying people about how things are rigged and courts need to get involved and fire and dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

But if Trump's leading in MI on Election Night (unlikely, but not impossible) and the election isn't 100% clinched, then he'll probably try to stop the count, challenge the final results, and just do everything he can to drag things out even longer. Add in the fact that the courts are stacked in his favor and I doubt anyone would feel super confident about Biden's chances.

If the most recent tweets from Silver are too be beloved, the total opposite may be true. Republican early votes seem to consistently be much later than Democrat early votes, and there's a possibility we may see a total 180 and the Rs will be calling to keep counting longer in close races.

No, even if he wins, because either way he isn't winning the popular vote and he hates that

Probably, but he'll get more support for it if the election is actually close (or at least looks close). Like, if the election is a huge blowout and the media calls Texas and Ohio for Biden before most people wake up on Wednesday, would anyone who matters argue that Trump was cheated out of a victory? If Biden can hit 270 EC votes by Wednesday night or so, Trump's odds of lawyering his way to a win are almost zero.

Also, Trump will totally complain that the election was rigged against him even if he wins. He still whines about how 2016 results were illegitimate.

Trump sues the United States for voting against him, seeking injunctive relief, namely that the United States not be allowed to count the electoral votes against him. The case of Trump v. United States is created.

As President of the United States and chief law enforcement officer, Trump fires the attorney general and decides to personally represent the United States. On behalf of the US, Trump confesses all allegations made by Trump as an individual.

Yeah unless Biden wins in a big landslide (like winning Montana or South Carolina big) there is a good chance we are going to have no winner by Wednesday morning. Sure us stat people may have a good idea who will win by that point, but there will be no official winner. Trump also has the benefit that the later votes will skew Democratic thus making it harder for Biden to have much of lead to call the mid-west states.

In fact, if the split is huge in Michigan we could have a situation where Trump leads the electoral college on election day (even if Biden wins in Florida and leads in Wisconsin and Minnesota), but ultimately loses it as votes for Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania (and others) flip Biden's way.

Here's a hypothetical simulation on election day when advance votes aren't fully counted.

It doesn't feel like people are. The polls (in conjunction with the lack of an effective October surprise, the lack of undecided voters, and the fact that 80+ million have already voted) are pointing to a decisive Biden win, but people still have their asses nervously clenched and will for at least another four days.

What worries me about Georgia is the runoff. If I "just" had to believe Warnock and Ossoff had to get the most votes I might have the former Lean D and Ossoff just a tossup.

But the fact that that is not sufficient and they need to hit 50%+1 or else we get a run-off is what makes me a bit of a downer on them, because I'm not sure I think Georgia can replicate the turnout for a run-off and you know Kemp and the Republicans will dial up the suppression and bullshit to even higher levels for it.

I know there's been a poll or two showing at least Warnock hitting 50%+ but ugh.
