Just spoke to a Democrat consultant friend on the ground in a swing state who told me I could repeat some of what we discussed.

Voted early in Amherst, NH and there was brisk business at the polling place.

I noticed the bulge in the number of ho/Knucklehead signs in the past few days. Many of the signs were copied approach to Trump signs. “Me too!!!”

Trump’s major hamstringing was Ryan in the House and McCain/McConnell in the Senate.

I have no doubt Trump is going to win and it will become obvious tonight.

Listen to Yoda's wisdom (and pray).

"For the most part they do not understand the differences in the process between 2020 and 2024"

Good point, and here I will provide an anecdote:

I just voted in central NJ. This year, they are using new voting machines that I have not seen before. In the past, you would press a button to select the candidate you wanted to vote for, and a green light would illuminate in the box by that candidate's name. Once you made all your selections, you pressed a "Vote" button (or something like that), the machine gave out a few beeps, and that was it.

I voted just a few minutes ago, and this time, I was handed a long paper slip (about 3"x15"), with a barcode on the top edge. Once in the voting booth, I fed the paper slip into the machine, which brought it up in a window. Once I made my ballot selections and hit "Cast Ballot", the machine cycled the slip, and it came back up in the window, where it had my choices printed below the bar code. I then had to hit "Vote" or something like that, and the paper slip was pulled up out of the window, presumably into a ballot box of some sort (and hopefully not just into a circular file!).

I think this is an improvement, as there is now a paper ballot of my vote that could be reviewed for auditing or challenging if necessary. At least, that's what I am hoping.

Those “migrants” don’t really vote, you know. They just sign the registration form and the ward captain gets their ballots.

"...and a larger majority in the House."

Few believe this except you and me. Rs flipped a few house seats in NY thanks to Lee Zeldin, and we flipped a couple of surprise seats in CA to --thank God--keep the house in R hands.

Since then, no Zelden, and the LI resignation from what's his name which are the reasons pollsters believe Ds take the house.

We disagree. Trump will usher several R house reps into office because Ds policies are despicable and voters with an ounce of common sense know it.

I predict 5-10 R house pickups--225R--210D. 55 Rs in the senate. Bury the bastards.

Go time with DjT in the White House.

“I just don’t see that this time. I don’t think they’re even going to bother”

I have come around to that viewpoint too. I don’t think it is going to be close enough for them to pull off a big steal this time. That, plus the fact that with a new sheriff heading up the RNC (Lara Trump) that won’t ignore blatant vote theft, points to a big Trump victory today.

“ is a very different vibe. In 2020, Americans were probably feeling pretty good about their futures.”

Plus all the lies about Trump have been proven to be lies and are well known to be lies.

The squish middle didn’t know or believed them.

So that's what they're calling it now?

They’ve been doing at least since 1948.

Black Philly turnout is way down.

The problem is that Black turnout in Philly spikes at 2:00 AM when the Democrat activists vote all the ballots of people who didn't show up.

Yup—many states have made a wide variety of improvements, but the most important one is that almost all states stopped sending out blank ballots to all registered voters.

That was the number one cause of cheating in 2020.

Many of those “registered voters” did not exist at all.

They were vacant lots and/or homes or apartments, small businesses, churches etc etc etc.

The Democratic activist groups collected those ballots in the mail and then cast votes with them.

It is kinda hard to have nonexistent people show up and vote on election day.

:-)

"Many of those “registered voters” did not exist at all."

And many of them either never saw their ballot, or had it completed "on their behalf" by some sniveling leftist/communist.

Funny story told to me by a buddy who’s Jewish....

He went to his tailor yesterday who is a legal immigrant from Ecuador. This is Putnam county, NY- who voted for McCain over obama in 2008. She said her whole family is voting or already voted for Trump but they keep getting calls from democrats who want to drive them to the polls.

The phone rings while my buddy, who’s a lawyer, is in her shop. She gives him the phone and he says, “Yeh- we have a family of five here who want to get to the polls but we need a ride!!”

When the rat operative says they can drive the family to the polls my buddy said, “GREAT!!! We can’t wait to vote for TRUMP!!”

On the other end he all of a sudden hear- click!!

Correct.

In key states today a mail in ballot had to be requested and if you look at the data at this site, state by state, you will see that the vast majority of those ballots have already been returned.

https://election.lab.ufl.edu/early-vote/2024-early-voting/

Once President Trump builds a lead above the number of outstanding mail in ballots in a given state that state is his—and imho the numbers geeks on the mass media will be screaming that it is time to call the state for President Trump. At least one network will cave—and the stampede will be on...an early night victory (I predict 11PM Eastern) for President Trump tonight.

DE using these types of machines also. I am on the local municipal election board and we used these machines last cycle (our elections are non-partisan and in March) and we had a training session. Was fairly impressed with these machines as in theory a paper trail is created to back the machine tally.

I hope and pray that your prediction comes to pass! It would be a wonderful early Christmas present, though I don't expect the leftists to be civil about it if they lose.
