    Republicans in power reduce the number of polling places that usually vote democrat and thus force all the people to a few places and hope the apathy kicks in and they decide just not to vote. Texas just did this and pretty much all of the south does it.

    Sounds like your voting system is deeply flawed and easy to manipulate

    2020 General Election II: How About This Kanye Fella

    Seeing Biden’s polling numbers continue to rise across the board is exciting and the plus side of the possibility he wins Ohio and Florida and we all get to watch Tyche eat his socks.

    Polls are bullshit. White folks who voted Trump last time will vote Trump this time. People would rather be dead than admit they were wrong.

    Our nation has essentially criminalized intellectualism and demonized compromise in thinking to the point that admitting error is seen as weak and surrendering.

    We get what we fucking deserve.

    Pretty much, my only hope is that with Clinton/Trump there was a lot of undecided even on the polls...if you're fucking undecided now you're brain dead as fuck.

    My dream is to wake up one day and be living on some research facility island, where when you debate and someone admits they were wrong about their thinking, there's fucking applause and nods all around. I want to live in a place where making a mistake or being wrong is a great thing, because it means you're about to grow smarter and learn from it.

    This ignorance and petty pride and lust for lying, obstrifucating and smokescreening sickens me.

    Man people being quick to throw in the towel before it begins. A lot has changed in 4 years. People have gotten to see Trump being the sack of shit he is on full display. All the backing for Biden from all these groups; tech industry, military leaders, some evangelicals(!), heads of industry. Trump is behind in every group except middle aged males. I get it, I have little faith in others too, but i'm not ready to roll over.

    Problem is 90% of the stuff the right is wrong about is such a non qualifier, so irredeemable that there isn't room for debate. There isn't any civility needed, no nodding heads or clapping. They just need to find a hole, jump in it, and hopefully die in it. Then hopefully the ones that come next are worth debating.

    The republican party is deploying poll watchers in an operation called "Army for Trump."

    Across key battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin, Republican poll watchers will be searching for irregularities, especially with regard to mail-in ballots whose use is surging amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to more than 20 officials involved in the effort. They declined to say how many volunteers have signed up so far; the campaign earlier this year said its goal was to recruit 50,000 monitors nationwide.

    The mission, the officials said, is to capture photos and videos Republicans can use to support so-far unfounded claims that mail voting is riddled with chicanery, and to help their case if legal disputes erupt over the results of the Nov. 3 contest between Republican incumbent Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

    The campaign is already posting material of activity it claims is suspicious, including video of a Trump campaign observer being turned away from an early voting site in Philadelphia last month. The city says monitors are welcome in polling stations on Election Day but are not permitted in early voting facilities.

    Trump campaign spokeswoman Thea McDonald said in a statement that “President Trump’s volunteer poll watchers will be trained to ensure all rules are applied equally. And if fouls are called, the Trump Campaign will go to court to enforce the laws.”

    Confrontations have already emerged in Philadelphia, home to about 20% of Pennsylvania’s registered Democrats.

    Election administrators there defended their decision to turn away the Trump campaign operative who filmed himself attempting to enter an early voting site on Sept. 29.

    “To be clear: the satellite offices are not polling places and the Pennsylvania Election Code does not create a right for campaign representatives to ‘watch’ at these locations,” Andrew Richman, chief of staff to the city solicitor, said in a statement.

    The Trump campaign quickly filed a lawsuit seeking access for poll observers in early voting sites. That suit is pending.

    In Northampton County in northeastern Pennsylvania, meanwhile, the Republican Party tried to get sheriff’s officers assigned to drop boxes to request identification from voters dropping off ballots, according to Frank DeVito, a Republican member of the Board of Elections.

    Pennsylvania law does not require voters to show an ID to vote. The Democratic-controlled board of elections denied that request.

    Undeterred, DeVito said volunteers will be watching those boxes closely.

    “We are telling them to take a folding chair, take video, take photos,” he said.
    Oliver covers the general topic in this week's video, but the gist is that republicans successfully repealed a 1982 law against partisan poll watching in 2018.
