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...

"Thats what I am thinking. Make it so PA shenanigans dont matter."

My prediction (for what it's worth): while everyone is obsessing over the "bright shiny objects" of PA, NC, FL, etc., Trump will "steal" a bunch of safe blue states nobody's been watching...

Take it to the bank. ;-)

There will be no cheating this time. It’s not going to be close.
The very moment that some detailed numbers come out we’ll got bombarded with numbers and stats that contrast favorably over 2016. Blacks, Latino, women... exit polls will show a shift. They’ll save the cheating for another time when it helps them.

I regret not sending in a mail in ballot for the primary this year for Bernie so I would get on the Demonrat call lists.

COVID so messed up the primary schedule in my state; no on knew what was going on with changing the postponed primary election until it had already gone by.

The Democrats know it is going to be a post Election legal mess so the Democrats are only voting once for a change.

American Thinker...the publication that said it was likely, even after Trump’s diagnosis, symptoms, and hospitalization were all confirmed for COVID, that he had “no symptoms” and that all information being “widely reported” that he had a “false positive.”

and they are more likely to be scared of COVID-19

Just go vote tomorrow and loudly cough or sneeze every couple minutes and keep saying how bad you feel while you stand in line. Let's see how scared they are.

“PA has 3 days to count the ballots and that is all”

A hell of a lot of phony ballots can be created in three days.

The 3 day extension is unconstitutional.

The DemonShits also forgot somethng else—we Rs are desperate to vote and show our support for PDJT every way we can. Hence, we’ve been voting early and absentee as much as we can.

It looks like the article is summarizing LS

The article shows this wording in a Larry Schweikart tweet.

“Several things began to severely damage that plan. First, the GOP won 11/14 court cases”

I search it and got this

If you want to play the fraud/over vote canard do you really expect dems would not have plan B, C, D, E, etc... to counter widely foreseen court defeats?
