This is going to be a close election. It was always going to be close. Talk of a Biden “blowout” or a Trump “landslide” is just that — talk.
Since the election will come down to a few battleground states — or perhaps one or two — counting votes in those states will be critical. And the question of who gets to do the counting matters more in this election than in any other since the 2000 presidential contest.
Then, Republicans had the advantage in Florida with a GOP secretary of state. Katherine Harris followed the letter of the law in stopping the recount and the Supreme Court agreed. But most election legal experts think that Harris had some legal leeway in determining when to stop the recount.
As it turns out, a later study by a group of several leading newspapers found that, in most instances, Bush would have won even if disputed ballots had been counted.
But Harris’s actions in interpreting the law was decisive to a Bush victory.
Now, in 2020, the same scenario may present election counters with similar decisions. And in most battleground states, it means that Democrats will be making those decisions.
If the outcome of this Novembers election comes down to fights over counting mail-in ballots and claims of fraud by President Donald Trump, Democrat Joe Biden may have a quiet advantage: The top election officials in many of the key states that could decide the election are Democrats.
In Michigan and Pennsylvania — two Democratic-leaning states Trump won in 2016 — the top elections officials belong to Bidens party. Thats also true in Arizona, which Trump carried but Biden is now leading in the polls, and Minnesota, which the president has targeted.

The Biden camp certainly seems confident. At least enough so they keep parading this idiot around with no replacement in mind.
we will crush them, hell, they are busy cutting their own balls off.
Nope,it’s gonna be close...damn close.Why? Mail in voting fraud. ILLary has recently made that very clear.
Most people don't even think about this office being important.
However, as previously shown it is a very strategic office to hold.
Twirl harder, losers, we're no longer going on your cruises.
I don’t understand why the MSM is making Az such a big deal, they have 11 electoral votes. Why not declare Wyoming a major factor with 3 electoral votes?
I am on the ground on the Ohio Pennsylvania border, and it is leaning heavily Trump here.
Remember what ol’ Joe Stalin said.....
(And we Washingtonians know that statement to be 100% true. Ask Governor Rossi.)
BINGO!
This is why the DNC/COMMUNIST party voter fraud will succeed...and, if needed, SCOTUS Dread Pirate Roberts will insure the communist overthrow of America.
Brother says Ohio has already sent us absentee ballots, but you need ID to use those I have done it before, and Trump is not going to allow this “mail in nonsense” with no ID, it will be challenged in court.
Not sure one can use “Leaning” and “Heavy” together to describe which way a state goes or is going. If its “Heavy” its not “Leaning”!
The only reason Trump kept his 10,000 vote lead in Mi is because we had the SOS, AG and Governor. in 18 we lost all three.
What I am gauging here is folks have no love of Biden, some of the same have no love for Trump either and they say they just wont vote (fools) but those who are voting are overwhelmingly supporting Trump.
Philadelphia will be a problem. Pittsburgh? not so much.
Plenty of folks there that worked oil and coal that think Biden is full of ****
ILLEGAL!
You think the folks in MI are loving Whitmer?
I think she helps us
That is not my experience.
Pdjt will win the honest vote but Biden could win the White House.
