As much as I would like to see that I don't think it will happen.
And that is down to observers and competent engaged attorneys to make sure the laws, even the bad ones, are followed explicitly. Prep that and we can maybe put a lid on cheating and be prepared to call it out when it happens.
Long way to election day, and a lot of ways to remove Trump. Things are now in the kinetic phase, and the head of the SS is more concerned with DEI than protection
I don’t think the dems will let biden drop out at this point. They would rather have him take the fall in November since his political career is done. They can regroup for 2028

Good political wisdom there, American... Thanks.
Anything already has happened.
I believe this. I was at our local “Sprouts” grocery store. It is a poor man’s Whole Foods. So it isn’t a “conservative” place.
As I was checking out, I was on the phone with a cop friend of mine and we were discussing the assassination attempt and the fact that it may have completely turned the tide in the election. I mentioned the “photo” of Trump, fist lifted, blood streaming down his face, with the American flag over his head, and how powerful it was....
The cashier was an early 20 something, black male. Not the normal, Donald Trump demographic.
He asked me...”are you taking about Trump.” I said yes, but expected some snide comment. He then asked...”are you talking about the ‘picture?’” I said, yes.
He then said...because of that picture, I am now voting for him. he went on to say that the photo of a just shot Trump made him realize Trump was a leader. The fact that he stood up, raised his fist and said “fight fight fight” impressed this young man.
He is now a Trump supported. Then the lady in line after me asked what we were talking about...the young black kid said, “Trump...I’m voting for Trump because of what i saw Saturday.” She responded...”me too.”
Needless to say, I walked out to my car, happy about my interaction with a young black man and a middle age white woman. Both now Trump supporters.
Biden was diagnosed with Covid a few hours ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is used as an excuse for him to step aside.
But since he was just diagnosed with Covid (again!) a few hours ago, he might use that and then just fade away after stepping aside.
I say they cant have a do-over..they rigged the primaries to ensure Biden got enough delegates to secure the nomination..they cant say “Well we are gonna lose in a landslide so F biden he’s out” nah no way, they rigged it, they should suck it up and deal with it
“Doooon’t you believe it!”
Keep assuming we’re trailing. Don’t get complacent.
“This is why Biden is rushing to get that virtual nomination approved before Democrats can organize to replace him.”
House Democrats have sent a letter to the DNC condemning any attempt at a “virtual” prior to the actual convention:

I have heard that too. It MAY have happened during the Hillary campaign. This is because we have same day registration. You have to show something like an electric bill that says you live at an address in NH. Then they probably will let you vote.
HOWEVER, IMHO this is mostly an URBAN LEGEND. What I understand that happened was that the Dems provided free buses from the campus of University of NH in Durham to the polling place in downtown Durham(off campus). A few miles away. So, students going to UNH could go vote much easier. Typically, college students tend to be more liberal than the average demographic. So, the more college students that vote. The better result typically for the Dems. They bused them a couple miles. Not from MA twenty miles or more south.
This is the ONLY factual event that I read about that actually took place here in NH. Obviously most college towns tend to be heavier Dems. Not only because of the student body population, but the liberal bias of the faculty. So, the more college student/faculty turnout, the better results for the Dems. Similar to us and the Absentee Military vote.
The main college towns are Durham(and surrounding towns), Keene(State), Plymouth(state) and Hanover(Dartmouth). The largest college in NH is the Southern NH U(SNHU). It is located on the north side of Manchester(the largest city). However, probably 95% of its students are online. Very few actually live on campus.
These college towns all tend to be heavy Dems/Liberals. Same with the bigger urban areas. The most conservative area of the state tends to be in the south. Many of which are former MA residents that may still work in MA. These people left MA in many cases because they hated the politics/taxes/etc.
They really get screwed on taxes because if they work in MA they pay a 5% income tax. IF they live in NH they pay on average the highest property taxes in the country. We have no income of sales tax here. Except an 8% rooms and meals tax. So, a lot of these former Massholes actually tend to be the most Libertarian. Fiscally conservative, socially liberal.
