In a poll released Wednesday by the Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group [Link at URL], Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) holds a commanding lead with early voters in Iowa's open Senate race compraed to his Republican opponent Joni Ernst. While the poll shows the race to be a dead heat, which is consistent with recent polling [Link at URL], Braley holds an impressive 15-point lead with those who have already voted. The poll also shows that Braley has a 10-point lead with independent voters.

And at the same time, Drudge Report has just posted “losses can be historic”.

O/T: While looking for something else, I tripped over this training video on using HubDialer, the cloud-based tool the 'Rats are using for their over-the-phone GOTV efforts:

My voting plan is:

National Election Day is a National Holiday.

All votes are cast in person in the proper precinct upon presentation of a valid picture ID, unless the local board of Elections determines an absentee ballot is warranted by unavoidable absence. It must be justified.

All polling places in a single state close at the same time. NO EXTENSIONS, voters have all day to vote.

Embargo on exit polls until polls are closed, state by state.

No vote by mail, no motor voter, no early voting, no late voting, no provisional voting.

A lot of these points are the same as yours. Over the years Democrats have enacted laws that have succeeded in making the voting process unreliable and unverifiable, and an open invitation to fraud. As if that was not their intent all along.

Wow. If a democrat can win, in Iowa, under these conditions, without cheating, the country is truly done.

Maybe the dead got multiple votes in the poll.

Maybe someone fat fingered the report and left out the . between the 1 and 5.

They may be good at getting poll answers in cemeteries.

I smell a rat...Having said that, consider this from the article:
The internal poll from Braley’s campaign might be seen as overly optimistic and partisan by some.
By some? Overly optimistic? Partisan? These people are practically saying “Hey, this poll is BS.” Laissez-faire capitalist, you sound eerily defeatist....

Early voting should be aligned with the general polling, 15 points is a large discrepancy - unless all the other polls are wrong. If non early voting isn’t statistically inline with early voting, something is fraudulent.

This is simply not true in Iowa. The stereotype is that Democrats vote early; Republicans vote on Election Day, and there's a lot of truth to it. A 15% lead for the Democrat is not at all unusual in a close race; if anything it's a little on the small side.

I have managed state legislative campaigns in Iowa that have won the Election Day vote by 10 points and still narrowly lost (and sometimes narrowly won).

Early voting and absentee voting are where they specialize in fraud.

This is down right scary because we know that it has to be an enormous amount of fraud.

Do they actually count the votes and release the votes in Iowa (or anywhere else for that matter) before the election?

No, they just compare received ballots with names of people who have registered Republican or Democrat. No one knows who these people voted for. Early/Absentee votes are not to be counted before Election Day. Everyone needs to chill.

I hate hate hate early voting. It is nothing but an invitation to cheat and steal elections.

What’s even worse is the All “Mail-Out Balloting” in CO. It’s tailor-made for a multitude of fraudulent ballots.

If you notice this graveyard in Cedar Falls... The tomb in the foreground is a little askew. The Dems getting this voter to the polls had trouble pulling this voter out of the ground and made a mess.
