Will maximum Covid fear keep Democrats at home on Election Day?
Daily Torch ^ | October 30, 2020 | Robert Romano

...Are Democrats hitting their hoped for numbers? It sure doesn’t look like it. If you exclude California, the Democratic vote total drops to 23.7 million. In-person voting will still be crucial for Democrats if Republicans match or exceed their 2016 totals.

Data from Gallup suggests Democrats are far more fearful of the virus: 70 percent of Democratic men and 73 percent of Democratic women say they avoid going to public places versus 31 percent of Republican men and 38 percent of Republican women.

Meaning the campaign of fear by news outlets could actually be helping Republicans by suppressing Democratic turnout more than it suppresses GOP turnout.

Does that make Republicans 2 to 1 more likely to turn out on Election Day? We’re about to find out. With only 58 percent of the vote total from 2016 in, the election will be won or lost on Election Day. The GOP’s get out the vote operations will have to be robust to overcome the Democrats’ mail-in advantage.

The presumption is that President Trump wins the votes he needs on Election Day, and there are tens of millions of Americans who have not voted yet. So, the race boils down to if Democrats mailed in enough ballots or not, and whether Republicans show up in the greater numbers they need for in-person voting on Tuesday.

It will be absolutely true that more republicans vote in-person, the only question will be how much harvesting and mail-in fraud will dems get away with.

From Gallup, Dems absolutely petrified of covid. Republicans? They couldn't be less bothered about it. Tuesday will be a glorious day for Republicans.

And be assured that the fraud attempts are going to be more closely contested and interfered with as never before.

We already knew Democrats were going to vote mail in more than Republicans, and likely the Covid fears may be a reason why, but whatever the reason why its already a known factor.

The more important evidence that Trump is on the path to victory is that Democrats turned out less than expected in mail in and early voting. It seems on the cards they will have a weaker than expected showing on Tuesday....and they were already expected to be weak anyway.

If they loose, this will be their excuse. They will play it big time.

The Republicans were undercounted in that poll like other polls.

That’s why they were pushing vote by mail.

Remember MN, MI and WI have to have their ballots in on election day. Courts shut them down in regards to getting in mail in ballots after election day.

“ Data from Gallup suggests Democrats are far more fearful of the virus”
That’s because they don’t have much upstairs to begin with.
They actually believe everything they are told by demonrats.

I hope they just stay under their beds in fear and don’t vote.

Remember, the only thing worse than Covid-19 is Biden-20.

Good to see this discussed.

Covid fear reducing in person Democratic voting will be both a fact and an excuse.

My analogy (cliche media propaganda analogy of the old days...):

The Mass Media is the big mean southern sheriff.

The Coronavirus is the German Shepherd.

Together they will suppress the Democratic vote on election day!
