    It will work because the "Governor" is doing this so late in the game. AND, he runs the office that would have to comply with a court order countermanding his decision. Which means there will be "unexpected delays".

    Something we all have to keep in mind, there is no mechanism - NONE WHATSOEVER - for "redoing" the election, even if rampant and deplorable voter suppression/intimidation is found to have happened. And the team on the side of our better angels can only play defense. The GOtrumP can go on offense and disrupt and dismay up and until/after the day of the election, and the results will stand.

    I know Biden is tied or ahead by a few points in several reddish states, but the Texas thing is an example of why I just automatically subtract a handful of percentage points. All the fuckery has to, at the very least, be worth 2-3%. Maybe that's too low.

    It just really depends on how motivated people in Texas, Georgia, etc... really are.

    The GOP would be completely dead at this point if not for all the cheating.

    People laugh off 2%, but in some/most battleground states, 2% will make a yuge difference.
    FL blessed the country its electoral votes to Trump with 1.3% in 2016 and Covidman DeSantis by a mere 0.4% in 2018.

    If people want to keep on taken things for granted and discounting voting blocks then I hope they are ready for 4 more years of the GOP.

    538 puts Biden ahead in Florida and has for months, but never by much. If some non-Biden group were to point out the hurricane damage a few more times, it might counteract the DeSantis buckfuckery that will shortly follow Texas.

    If Biden thinks he can get Florida without spending a ton of attention and ignoring his flanks, he should go for it. My non-expert ass thinks he should troll Trump into playing defense in Florida and Georgia, while reinforcing his slightly-ahead lead (last I posted he was 278 to 169 with 91 undecided) by ensuring he doesn't let those slim leads evaporate. And maybe Ohio, he can get help from Kasich and LeBron.

    Nobody should be taking any lead for granted. Biden currently has more people and more money. He also probably doesn't have COVID-19 and a wife threatening to leave him behind his back.

    Call me crazy but I believe DeSantis hastily reopening FL without even notifying local governments right before Trump campaigns in FL wasn't a coincidence. It's still in play. Both are set to be in FL this weekend (assuming Trump's tests come back fine?)

    Clinton had a 55% at the same time in 2016. Biden is at about 60%. 538 still has them within 2% of each on election day. Too many votes in play to rest on the state. Trump's path to victory goes way up with the state alone because he could afford to lose some of the states he flipped in 2016 and still be comfortable.

    Come on. Everyone knew Melania hated Christmas when she chose The Handmaiden's Tale as a central theme.

    270 to win has him at 169 and Florida would give him 29. Yes, that's better. Biden still has 278.

    Trump must win every state not currently leaning Biden and also steal something from Biden. Yes, he needs to win Florida. But no, he can't really afford to let anything go.

    Trump condemns white supremacist groups 48 hours after debate

    "I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don't know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that," Trump said in a phone interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity. "But [Biden] should condemn also Antifa. Antifa is a horrible group of people."
    And once again, after days of blistering bipartisan pressure and criticism, Trump is dragged kicking and screaming towards doing the right thing. Even if the right thing is as easy as saying "I condemn white supreamcy." which is a fucking gimme.

    The media runs with the bizarre notion that Trump hasn't condemned white supremacy, ever.

    Fact Check: False:

    He has done so multiple times.

    Two days later, on Aug. 14, 2017, Trump issued a statement from the White House, and referred to “KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

    Nor was that the last time Trump condemned white supremacy by name.

    After nearly two dozen people were killed on Aug. 3, 2019, in a shooting at a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Trump said: “The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul.


    We should wait and see if Biden condemns the domestic terrorist groups on the left (BLM, Antifa) by name as well, or if he'll mutter a vague statement about how violence on all sides is bad and then try to scapegoat the riots as usual.
