Just the announcement of the 800K number deterred a lot from even asking.

And were they astute enough to cancel a ticket if the email bounced? I doubt it.

It is a sophisticated operation. They use the information for contact lists. Not a matter of canceling a ticket because it bounced. The ticket isn't issued period. The reality is that it is first come, first served.

I just call BS on the AOC claim that the Dems played a dirty trick. They are playing mind games with the Trump campaign. I can recall something similar about Reps voting in Dem primaries (in states where you don't register by party) to help Bernie. The results are always negligible given the numbers involved.

Attendance was down for a number of reasons: (1) the fear of the virus in an indoor location fanned by the MSM and "experts"; (2)the prospect of violence and being hassled by BLM and ANTIFA especially given the ongoing demonstrations around the country; and (3)the ability to watch it all on television and online.

Despite all the obstacles, attendance was good and more importantly, the earned media of millions watching the event on TV and online accomplished the objective. I see this as a watershed moment because Trump courageously held an organized mass indoor event. The NBA, MLB, and NFL will take note along with concert promoters, churches, and schools. If there is no major spike in cases in OK, the pressure to open up completely will mount.

FYI: More than two-thirds of colleges and universities will open up with in-person attendance in the fall. Here’s a List of Colleges’ Plans for Reopening in the Fall
