election eve

Prof David West
Frank put his prediction on the list, so I guess it is OK to add mine.

Last time I was 100% certain of my predictions. This time between 60-75 percent certain.

Trump will win by roughly the same electoral college numbers as last time, with minor changes, e.g. swapping Wisconsin for Minnesota. (Everyone is seeing Wisconsin as must win and ignoring what is happening in Minnesota, a state with the same 10 votes as Wisconsin.)

This result will be apparent Nov. 3-5.  Late ballots will be overwhelmingly for Biden and might even threaten the electoral college result. Lawsuits in abundance.

Ultimately Trump will win. Riots in the street. The leftist "Protect The Vote" movement (Trump-ers have one similarly or identically named) already has plans in place for "peaceful" protests — starting Nov. 4 in NY and DC, so they must share my belief to some degree — and are actively working with old fart 60's leftists to define/decide necessary actions when the demonstrations prove insufficient. (I was actually approached by an old colleague from the Weather Underground so ascertain my interest in enlisting.)

I'm cautiously optimistic that Biden will win early.    Dave could be right, in which case, yeah, who cares what happens.
The most exciting thing that could happen would be that Biden takes Texas.

Re: election eve

Any party that participates in efforts to invalidate ligitimate voters or ballots does not deserve to have candidates in office.  In every case that I am aware of in this election courts have decided in favor of the voters or ballots that are the subjects of these kinds of efforts.  Trump et al seem desperate.

Re: election eve

Barry MacKichan

I’m not sure that Trump believes that what he is doing will affect the vote count.

My theory is that he might hope for that, but the other purpose is to create a grievance. Trump thrives on grievances and having a few more out there will give his post-presidential career (right-wing broadcasting??) a boost.

Re: election eve

Frank, 

 

I am just waking up.  (Yeah, I know.)  I see that biden has to carry all the states where he is leading and at least  one in which he is not.  Can you tell me the basis for your cautious optimism?  I need that right now.

Re: election eve

Nick, I was rather wondering the same thing myself. Frank, please toss us a thread-thin lifeline to help buoy the spirits of us bleeding heart liberals haha. Is your optimism somehow based on the number of uncounted mail-in ballots?

I’m not sure that Trump believes there is any chance the courts will help stop counting the vote.

The other purpose for what he is doing is to create another grievance. Trump thrives on grievances, and a few more will only help his post-presidential career (right-wing broadcasting??).

Biden has got a 270 vs. 267 last time I checked, assuming he can’t take Pennsylvania.

Re: election eve

Right. So both the guardian and nyt show called Biden: 227, Trump: 213 with PA(20), NC(15), and GA(16) toward Trump and MI(16), WI(10), NV(6), and AZ(11) toward Biden.

227+16+10+11+6 = 270
213+3+15+20+16 = 267

I don't think there's a reason to be optimistic ... cautiously or not. Regardless of which value the artificially binary outcome lands on, it's the closeness of it that causes the problems.

From the Washington Post

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Postal Service turned down a federal judge’s order late Tuesday afternoon to sweep mail processing facilities serving 15 states, saying instead it would stick to its own inspection schedule. The judge’s order came after the agency disclosed that more than 300,000 ballots nationwide could not be traced.

It is just the current evolving returns in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona.   Not a done deal by any means.   Yes, I am trading in my optimism for razor wire and surveillance cameras.

Gary,

If you want to live in the bubble for a few more hours, try

https://abc.com/watch-live/abc-news

Marcus,  The message I am getting from those folks is something like: "We tried rationality for 50 years and look where it got us;  let's try crazy for 4 more years."

I know two trump supporters quite well.  Mind you, we don't talk politics that much.  Both are owners of small businesses who have led the highly regulated lives that folks must lead if they are going to make money in a politically diverse community.  Both [thought they] saw gains from the Tax Cuts.  I think both think the economic policies have been good for them and they find the crazy stuff kinda fun.  Like a bit of a wild fling.  They certainly don't take those things any more seriously than I took Clinton, with whatsername under the Resolute Desk, while he was negotiating with the Majority Leader.  Tsk Tsk, I say and them move on.  That's what they do, and they cannot under stand why I am scared by Trump, any more than I could understand why they were scared by Obama.  I once called one of my relatives in Texas during the bush/Kerry election, because she had been born in Massachusetts and I thought she could help me understand. "I think that man is dangerous," she said.  I agreed, thinking she was talking about Bush.  "Yes," she went on.  "No telling what he will do if he and the democrats get in."  

Kerry, DANGEROUS?  My god that man was scared of getting tomato sauce on his polo shirt.  But she really was quaking with fear..  Just like I am now.

The one I really am scared of is McConnell.  Hitler got in because the cartels that dominated German politics thought they could "use" him. Look how that turned out.

Right. So both the guardian and nyt show called Biden: 227, Trump: 213 with PA(20), NC(15), and GA(16) toward Trump and MI(16), WI(10), NV(6), and AZ(11) toward Biden.

227+16+10+11+6 = 270
213+3+15+20+16 = 267

I don't think there's a reason to be optimistic ... cautiously or not. Regardless of which value the artificially binary outcome lands on, it's the closeness of it that causes the problems.

Re: election eve

Nick,

See Glen's 270 to 267 estimate.  Biden may still win either Georgia or Pennsylvania or both because of the Democrat majority that is likely among the uncounted votes.  If any of that happens Biden wins with a margin.  

But it's too close for relaxation.
