I think this tweet below highlights what many are missing.

The online polls where Trump voters have nobody to be embarrassed from don't give Trump an advantage.

In Arizona the 2016 polling average gave Trump a 4% lead, but he only won 3.5%

When you look at the long voter lines see how many are wearing masks.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Source for that theory? I've never seen evidence to indicate either way.

Quote
But we’re not completely in the dark when it comes to who registers as an independent voter. For instance, younger voters are more likely to identify as independent than older voters. And importantly, younger voters of color are also more likely to register as independents, as Florida’s registration figures have shown. Both of these groups tend to lean Democratic which means that even if many of these voters don’t openly identify as Democrats, they’re more likely to vote for Democrats than not.

The article has embedded links to backup with evidence.

We'll add that to the painting. So far we got old, white, fat, and mask-less.

Right. And racist, although that may be redundant at this point.

Who decided that “all” democrats vote early and “all” republicans vote on Election Day?

Right wing voter suppression at its finest.

And New York telling someone under mandatory quarantine (after testing positive) that he is allowed to go vote is what?

First of all, where did you see you can vote in person while in mandatory quarantine? And second of all, even if that were true, it certainly wouldn't be untoward from a voting rights perspective. It would be untoward from a public health policy perspective.

The exact opposite of voter suppression. Do you seriously want to disqualify anybody with Covid from voting?

If it was up to me, it should be done safely with BoE sending drivers to peoples homes in hazmat suits, but drive-by voting is a great solution.

Heard from a friend who was told he can go vote. My point was that there are constitutional issues at stake when limiting a person's ability to vote, which is why the Texas governor made an exception to the mask mandate. But because he is a Republican, a federal judge (and @PlatinumGuy ) called him a racist.

Not the first time you're putting words in my mouth. When did I say that? He is simply partisan.

I didn't realize that. Interesting.

I'm curious what would happen if a nude person would show up at the polls. Would they be allowed to stop him from voting?
