That's going to hurt Trump not Biden. His voters are the stupid ones who believe shit like that.

I'm sure they have targeted only democrats voting areas. I guess this doesn't count as voter fraud for GOP supporters.

Trump is on Fox, talking about US being the hardest country for him to deal with... China, Russia and NK were easy... Does he know what country he running for?

Fox News running cover:

Trump says US is 'most difficult country to deal with,' reflecting on battles with Pelosi, Schiff

Remember, Americans are deceptive, but Russia, China and NK are honest.

Is he trying to signal he made any progress with any of them? Because the trade war with China is ongoing, we're losing, North Korea is still working on nukes and missiles, and Russia got Syria for free. They got Iran too, but they paid for it.

It's a shame @Sulla is forever gone.

Don't ever say that.

Vote Trump, "get the children back to work!"

but but, biden had to be called 3 times at a very loud rally where he was backstage.....the horror!!

[PresidentElectMilchschake]

It would be nice to see the permabanned Trumpsters here right now.

Nope!

It would just be a lot of crying and whinging about mean liberals. Then lying to everyone's face.

Here, just watch this on loop for the same effect.

He also called George Lopez "George!"

And said "Hello Minnesota!" while in Minnesota!

And quoted Pope Francis on leadership saying "Why am I doing this?" as a self-reflective comment keeping yourself grounded and focused!

If Biden wins Florida, it'll be the end for Trump.

Should Biden pull off the victory, I can’t wait until these are the only “presidential controversies” we have to deal with.

That's pretty good pre-election day. Need a good 50 million in person votes today to call this a good level of turnout.

This will be difficult. Biden is polling ahead 2.5%, but polls don't always translate to votes. Not with DeSantis fighting every step of the way.

Florida is the worst example of racial voter suppression in the country. And the GOP knows they're not going to get decent numbers of votes from anyone other than intentionally ill-informed white men. That's why DeSantis insisted that ballot boxes be guarded by his own staff which is not part of FL law at all.

Florida's GOP will fight every inch of the way to stop the majority of Floridians from expressing disappointment in them. Expect to see ugly stories. And expect it to work.

Not that people shouldn’t be wary, but voting has been going for a few hours in Florida... I’d hope that if people were being turned away or hassled, we’d be hearing about by now.

[Poopymonster]

Don’t give trump any ideas.



I’m still not 100% sure a place called “dixville notch” actually exists and isn’t just some elaborate joke.

Dixville Notch sounds like some preteens trying to get around saying vagina.

[Fugus]

PA
NC
OH
AZ
is now predicted to go to Biden

As a North Carolina resident, I truly hope so and I hope it goes down ballot as well to prevent them screwing around when it comes to redistricting again.

Generals privately brief news anchors, promise no military role in election

Because they had to.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley held an off-the-record video call with top generals and network anchors this weekend to tamp down speculation about potential military involvement in the presidential election, two people familiar with the call tell Axios.

The nation's top military official set up Saturday's highly unusual call to make clear that the military's role is apolitical, one of the sources said — and to dispel any notion of a role for the military in adjudicating a disputed election or making any decision around removing a president from the White House.

Milley told the anchors that the U.S. military would have no role whatsoever in a peaceful transfer of power, one source added.

One official told the anchors not to be alarmed if they see images of uniformed National Guard on Election Day; currently, they are not federalized but serving at the request of governors.

Through a spokesman, Milley and the other generals declined comment.

Two other four-star generals joined Milley on the call: Commander of the U.S. Cyber Command Paul Nakasone and National Guard chief Daniel Hokanson.

ABC's George Stephanopoulos, CBS's Norah O'Donnell, NBC's Lester Holt, CNN's Jim Sciutto and Fox's Martha MacCallum participated, per one of the sources.

Generals talked about military efforts to secure key infrastructure against cyber attacks.

They confirmed that foreign actors have tried to influence this election, but said none appears positioned to change votes.

About that last line. The head of DHS, addressing that topic, recently told reporters "I don't exist."

So the acting DHS head met reporters ands aid "We have no indications that a foreign actor has succeeded in compromising or manipulating any votes in this election."

Votes. Key word: votes. There's already been confirmed misinformation spread by, for example, Russian misinformation. Like the Hunter Biden story. Most of it didn't seem to work, and quite frankly, Americans have bigger things on their mind like "will the lack of a COVID plan kill me?" or "will I be murdered by a police officer for being African-American?" or "I still don't have health care".

Damn that women is dumb (not AOC). Its Vanity Fair not Vogue and magazines like VF regularly dress those they interview in high end clothing which has been donated by designers trying to get their wares in front of as many eyes as possible. Its extremely cheap advertising for them.

[kaelleria]

Biden campaign scares the shit out of people...

[Breccia]

I’d hope that if people were being turned away or hassled, we’d be hearing about by now.

If there is attempted fraud, I'd like to hear that it's both known, and unsuccessful, too. I just don't have faith that both of those are true.

The day is young. The stories will come.
