Democrats have outsmarted themselves on mail-in voting and on election eve are having a Wile E. Coyote moment
American Thinker ^ | November 2, 2020 | Thomas Lifson

A sickening feeling is spreading among some of the smarter Democrats that they have royally screwed up their election strategy. The plan that seemed so smart, once they realized that COVID was a golden opportunity to distract from President Trump's massive foreign policy and economic triumphs, is backfiring.

The plan, in short, was to terrorize Americans with fear porn over the purported dangers of COVID (despite it being 99%+ survivable for all but those over 70, and despite huge progress in therapeutics driving the survival rate even higher), while emphasizing mail-in voting for their base. Republicans, they thought, could be discouraged from in-person voting on Election Day, and with compliant state governors, A.G.s, and secretaries of state extending deadlines for mail-in votes, the margin of victory could be manufactured in the days afterward.

In a series of tweets, Larry Schweikart laid out the plan and why it is collapsing...

It is rather curious that all these additional COVID restrictions - curfews, mandatory customer information taken at restaurants, mandatory testing of incoming travelers from other states- are being put in place by governors within the last 72 hours or so.

It’s almost as if they want to scare Team Red from coming out and voting tomorrow.

Early voting delayed results. Ironic isn’t it.

Keep it simple, stupid! is usually the best way to go about anything. The problem with things like covid, mail in voting, heck, lets push to have a zoom debate, these things aren’t just something simple you have an outcome based track record to look to as its never been factors before.

Even though there are not as many potential dem voters remaining because so many of them voted early, there are still millions of them, and they are more likely to be scared of COVID-19, so these new restrictions could provide an overall advantage to Team Red lol.

The unintended negative consequences of leftists’ choices is predictable, consistent, a hallmark.

See at the top of this thread, where it says "American Thinker" in red letters? That's the link. You can click it and see LS's tweets.

In a Double Wiley Coyote, the let places like Philadelphia be burned and looted right before the election, putting all those Democrat voters into shock.

And Biden wants Pennsylvania bad.

Awe... I feel his pain.

Yes, but I agree with the request. It would make more sense to read the tweets at their source than to read what someone wrote about the tweets.

People have to stop worrying about the election being stolen. PA has 3 days to count the ballots and that is all. If we win with a big enough margin they cannot steal it. MI, WI and MN have to count the ballots on election day.
We should have the election won so we don’t even need PA.

They probably shot themselves in the foot. Rat voters are way more scared of Covid than Deplorables.

I can't wait to vote tomorrow. Harvested (legally) three votes from my SoCal household and the two other adult children so detest Biden they wouldn't be caught dead voting for him, and claim their friends all feel the same way.

Tell that to one of my siblings, who basically disowned me because I had the temerity to go to an Ann Coulter talk, right after she (Ann) tweeted about "Globalists," mocking CNN for trying to make that term off-limits by saying it's a dog-whistle term for "Jews."

My sibling's Jewish spouse got all offended, but they never actually read Ann's tweets, just the New York Times article about them that, shockingly, completely misconstrued what they actually meant.
