I'm all for being optimistic, but look at the numbers, Dems are crushing the GOP in Iowa in early voting, we have the numbers.

https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/IA.html

Dems have returned 407,668 ballots, GOP 276,188.

I called this about 3 weeks ago when all the “New exploding number of Wu-Flu cases” were being reported.

Look for this to happen in all the Battle Ground states where Dem Governors are in control and/or Rat infested “Health Boards” run the show.

>> Atlanta and Milwaukee are not “states”!

They are both places where the Braves have played, along with Boston.

I’m in Southern CA, some places for early voting
were open starting Oct. 24th, but all of the early
voting locations were going to be open on October 30th.

Fewer polling places, more congestion at the ones that are open, what a way to “stop the spread”!

Prolong the panic and fan the fear.

Azzholes.

Depends on the area really. Inner cities are so overwhelmingly Democrat that closed polling places there will only help Republicans. If we’re talking about the suburbs, then we’re looking at some problems.

I bet relatively few of the “new cases” show any significant symptoms. How many have died?...likely ZERO. What a pathetic fraud upon the populace.

Find a different place to vote. Or, go to your clerk and get a ballot and turn it back in to them.

That’s happening in Michigan, too.

Those numbers aren’t particularly bad for Iowa compared to 2016 stats. Trump would never have won the state (as he did by 9%) if he didn’t get a tremendous percentage of the Democrat vote. Take a look at TargetSmart. Based on their well-regarded voter modeling, Republicans are actually doing better there now than last time. Even just looking at the registrations of people who have already voted, Republicans have 32.1% of the current vote vs. 34.8% for 2016. That’s not really what I’d call crushing numbers.

This is unacceptable. It’s ELECTION DAY. If people can’t vote on ELECTION DAY, which is in the US Constitution, there is no valid election.
