Early Voting… Roll Calll

[CardinalBacker]

Well, today was the first day of early voting in Texas and I cast my ballot. 
 

After much thought and consideration, I didn’t vote for anybody in the presidential race. 
 

I might have done differently if Texas were in play, but I just wanted to send a message-that MAGA has run its course and I (and likely other formerly dependable republicans) have had enough and won’t support this hateful nonsense any longer. 

[AggiesAreWe]

I am voting tomorrow.

Letting everyone know that my vote can be bought.

Let the bidding begin.

Encountered the longest early voting line yesterday, trying again today

Anti-MAGA across the board until GOP stops with the craziness and intruding on women’s healthcare

There’s been record turnout in a lot of places. Makes me wonder what’s motivating the bigger turnouts, then it hit me. It’s people who voted by mail last time showing up to vote in person this time. 
 

I just can’t see having an army of new, motivated voters turning out to vote MAGA. I think it’s gonna be over early on Election Day.

Typical answer to justify murder as well as making a false statement. How bout modeling a 2 parent home, going to church, being financially responsible, work ethic. Etc etc.

The system we have in place now doesn’t fix the bigger problem.  It needs to be rehauled with better oversight.

i get people have situations that arise and need help but the system has been abused to where now it is not trusted.

I’m not proud of people wanting to or want the right to kill a baby…..so it’s definitely not a high horse…..

can you not handle the truth.  Do you want me to use other terms so it doesn’t seem humane and pull on one’s feeling…..abortion, fetus, embryo, etc etc.

Is it cool if the church is a Mosque? I mean, if you’re a two parent hard working financially responsible family.

MAGA will top out at 43% max.  Fewer voters will turn out for Trump this time, maybe fewer than 2016.  The enthusiasm factor is virtually nonexistent in the Republican Party right now. Trump’s rallies are low energy and the stuff he talks about will thrill most of the 43% but it’s not going to pick any new votes up. His third tour with the same (even more) extreme act is bombing this time. That coupled with the fact that the DNC has probably a 10-1 advantage over the RNC in the number of campaign field offices nationally indicates that a well organized  boots on the ground strategy is going to outperform Lara’s social media and boat parade strategy.  I think it may be over by the time the polls close in the Central time zone.

I know we’re a microcosm out here, but early voting was up about 30% in Hardin County… and I expect it to still go to Trump by 90% or so. I don’t know what to think about that, and I don’t know if it holds true across the nation.  
 

It might just be people opting to vote early, or it might be new voters. It’s going to be interesting to watch the totals. 
 

We’ll have lots of answers in less than two weeks.

I saw one of those KBMT polls where you could pick who you're voting for, and it was about 76/24 for the Donald.

Have you been watching where Kamala is campaigning?

Have you been looking at the trends in polling?

Even CNN recognizes Trump is currently surging.....
