The Trafalgar poll would fit into that category.

Nope, we are going to have court ordered destruction of millions of legally valid votes that were postmarked before 11/3 but didn't arrive before whatever court ordered arbitrary time is suggested. I guess we should ask Squi what day that should be.

You know I wonder just whether a state would comply. Some certainly would but I don’t believe all. Could you see Barr sending in the jackboots into to seize them for burning? Sheeeet

It wouldn't be that dramatic. It would be a ruling from SCOTUS that counting certain ballots is unconstitutional.

As would all the comments about how all the polls were wrong in 2016.

And that Helmut Norpoth projection that thinks Trump is going to win New York.

Interesting article on the shenanigans in PA.

not sure why people think 2016 was such an upset when it really wasn't.

Yuppies in NY and DC don’t realize how disliked HC was

Exactly. Trump had a 1 in 3 chance to win. Variables are quite different this year. He is a known evil buffoon and is still bungling a pandemic.

And the Hunter Biden story never developed legs outside of MAGAverse.

Thanks for posting. With all the reporting on Trump and the pathetic SCOTUS, it's easy to forget that there are tons of patriots across the country trying to protect ballots.

I am OP - I partially meant LOLs like we are all so traumatized by misreading the polls in 2016 that even talking about polling sometimes makes a person want to run away and shriek. By "a person" I mean me.

Mostly it was a response to the inevitable Trumpster response to any polling - "Polls? You believe polls? LOLOLOL Our great farty orange magician defies polling!"

^ And the PPs' idea that it could mean nutty polls like Trafalagar also makes sense, though it's not what I had in mind

Yeah, mostly it was just a nod to the fact that Dems are traumatized by polling and hesitant to really put much stock in it because f 2016, and Trumpsters think polls are nonsense anyway because obviously Trump voters are too clever and shy to tell pollsters what they think.

Polls - I take them seriously and also knock all the wood in sight every time I see one going my way
Lols - yeah, 2016 sure was a kick in the pants

OP! THANK YOU for starting this thread and taking the time to continue to provide updates. I've looked at this thread countless times over the last month to valuable and timely updates. It's meant a lot to me, thank you.

"shy Trump voter" sounds so much nicer than "closet racist" though, doesn't it?

That's true if you change the red states to Missouri, Mississipi, or South Carolina.

Alaska & Montana are actually 3 times likely to vote for Biden than Michigan voting for Trump...
