With just five days to go until Election Day, Democrats appear to have a significant advantage over Republicans when it comes to voter enthusiasm.
According to new polling from Gallup, 77% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters say they’re more enthusiastic about voting than usual, versus 67% of Republicans and GOP-leaning voters who say the same.
That’s a slightly higher level of enthusiasmfor Democrats than they had just before the 2008 election, when that same poll found that 76% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters were more enthusiastic than usual about voting. Barack Obama would go on to win that year in an Electoral College landslide.
Doesn’t matter. Don’t let them make you complacent. Go vote!
Even if you think he’ll lose, the House (unless the Dems take it) will very likely try to block certification, force a per-state count instead of a per-delegate count, and punt it it to Supreme Court.
So give as little leeway as possible. The more he loses by the harder his next little coup attempt will be
When the votes are counted, the presiding officer will be VP Kamala Harris, not the House Speaker.
And the only way to block a state’s certification is if both the House and Senate agree. Otherwise they have to accept the results certified by the governor.
One body can reject forever, nothing forces them to accept.
That’s not how it works.
When the EV’s for a state are counted, the House and Senate have one opportunity to object.
If there is an objection, a vote is called. A majority in both houses is necessary to reject those EVs.
If there is not a majority in both houses then the motion fails, the EV’s are accepted, and the VP moves on to the next state.
No each body must vote to sustain an objection, if one doesn’t then the process is deadlocked.
That isn’t what your link says at all, infact it talks at length about the uncertainty of the whole process, which favors it being attacked.
The house and the president will almost certainly swing the same way. This is nothing to worry about.
If only enthusiasm countered the unjustness of voter suppression and the electoral college.
Vote, bitches 🤘
I just looked at the current polls and it is close. Like, I cannot believe that this many people have watched all of this shit and are still voting for him.
Please go out and vote.
This was the line for early voting in a conversation county. Fuck polls they only call landlines and only fucking boomers have those.
Bet the polls would not be close if they spoke to younger people. No matter vote like it could potentially be your last. Because if Trump wins or cheats and steals this election it will be.
Please believe them when he says he will be a fucking dictator.
Even if they called younger people doubt itd do too much. My friends and myself dont answer unknown numbers.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!! Shit yes.
if harris wins this, i want to see her put her fucking heel on the throats of all the fascist traitor swine.
In my household we have already cast 3 votes for sanity. We can only hope that others are quietly doing the same.
I literally just ignored a poll called (phone even IDd them as Survey) so … Let’s try not to read too much into polls. Instead, vote.
The polling/ exit results is so confused in this past week.
None of the polls are based on reality anymore. They are all being gamed.
No I don’t believe that. Its counter-productive to engage in conspiratorial thinking.
Polls haven’t been accurate in a long time now. Election betting sites have said they are being manipulated. DJT stock price is being used as a way of showing “market acceptance of trump”. It’s all being gamed. It’s not conspiratorial at all.

No, what you are engaging in is anti-scientific, conspiratorial thinking. Gallup isn’t being gamed. Emerson isn’t being gamed. Times-Sienna isn’t being gamed.
And there is some funny business out there, but polling is still polling. There are real criticisms you can make here around methodology, or how when a metric becomes a target it ceases to be a metric, and maybe you could dig into issues like that. But to just be dismissive like this is, well, its anti-intellectual and anti-factual.

Too bad enthusiasm doesn’t pay the bills. We dont need enthusiasm, we need policy that benefits the working class, instead we get jingoistic platitudes
enthusiasm doesn’t pay the bills
We don’t need your platitudes either
