Just curious ... how do they know the voter’s race from the ballot?

Perhaps they have access to the voter rolls which may include race.

I am reminded by the Magic Eight Ball: "Outcome uncertain, ask again later".

In Florida when I registered to vote 4 years ago, I don’t recall any questions about race. I could be wrong on that.

“Just curious ... how do they know the voter’s race from the ballot?”

Statistical report based on previous elections.

Too many women early voting for me, but LA is safe for Trump

That’s the most likely scenario.

Well Trump won LA by 58% to 38% over Hillary, so I would put this in the clearly it doesn't matter. 1.1 million to 780K.

LA’s not in play. Trump won it by 20%. Voter registration is 42%(D) - 31.6%(R).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_party_strength_in_U.S._states#Elections_and_voter_registrations

Meaningless, since many independents vote (R). Last time a (D) presidential candidate won, Lewinsky was one of the interns servicing him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_elections_in_Louisiana

Obama lost LA by almost 20% in each outing. The riots won’t have endeared Biden to LA’s white population, which comes close to voting for (R)’s at a rate similar to how blacks vote for (D)’s nationwide. That’s how it’s been reliably (R) despite a 1/3 black population.

Georgia’s voter registration application has a section to designate race. One of the selections is decline to answer. Designating or declining has no bearing on approval of the application. It is there for demographics tracking quite obviously.

Just a thought experiment.

What happens when the mail-in ballots and early voting numbers exceed the number of registered voters for the given voting precinct, before actual election day?

All of this is so overwhelming...it’s nerve racking! Still can’t believe half of the gullible Americans fall for all the lies the evil mediapukes spew 24/7 and are voting in droves! Today I voted like my life was on the line literally! Can’t say that I don’t dread Tuesday November 3 and it’s roller coaster ride from hell and the afterwards chaotic counting of ballots that seem to go forever ( usually favoring rats)😢

I’m cautiously optimistic. I think Democrats aiding and abetting rioters will swing hitherto Democrat voters against them in large numbers simply out of self-preservation. These are people who largely agree with the Dem platform but are furious that the Dems are giving free rein to looters and arsonists. That’s on top of independents with similar sentiments who are even less psychologically attached to voting Democrat.

An example unrelated to the riots is 50 Cent, who’s not exactly some great role model and probably agrees with the Dems on just about everything. But he is voting against Biden because Biden wants to raise taxes. He’s not interested in becoming “20 Cent”.

What I am nervous about is the rulings from Pennsylvania and North Carolina! This is a THE FIX IS IN type of situation! It’s infuriating and maddening that those black robes are so dishonest and want to steal this election from the president! Them not realizing that they’re stealing it from the people not that man they hate with a passion but the people! UGH!

Trump’s wins Louisiana in a landslide. No campaign events scheduled here for Trump.
We’re solid Trump.

I’d be surprised if either state went for Biden. The GOP isn’t *literally* the stupid party. They understand things like the mechanics of election fraud, and will either watch for it or match the Dems.
