IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) More polls, more nonsense but keep your eye on the ball. In Pennsylvania, a group called "Pennsylvania Chase" has been beating the pants off the non-Transoid DemoKKKrats by shifting 250,000 early ballots in the R direction (combo D shortfall, R gains). In 2020, Rutabaga had 2 million early ballots to President Trump's 600,000 to "win" by 80,000. With a 250,000 flip, the Keystone State is looking good. The head of Pennsylvania Chase said DemoKKKrats are "“hemorrhaging in the city," and predicts they will be down a good 150,000 votes compared to 2020 even if some show up on election day. (Reminder: Ds this time will not automatically be voting for Cackles). Virginia started early voting this weekend and so far the vote totals in the four red districts are exceeding those of DemoKKKrat districts and almost even with DemoKKKrat and swing districts put together. In other words, heavy, heavy turnout in Republican areas. Fairfax turned out, but not at the same rates as the red counties. Republicans in VA now have a 19 point enthusiasm advantage.
2) Oh, yeah, if you like polls, try this one: VA is now tied. There is no universe even in the Star Wars galaxy where VA is tied and Trump is losing AZ, GA, NC, PA, MI, or WI. And this brutal NYTimes poll has Trump winning NC, AZ, and GA, shutting off completely the "alternative path" for Cackles when she loses PA.
Meanwhile, when any news org goes out and actually interviews people in "focus groups," they don't like the answers they get. For example, this group of Georgia blacks thinks things were better under President Trump.
3) With technology today, you can run, but you can't hide. Cackles, unlike Rutabaga, is trying to fake Trump-like rallies. Of course, no one will voluntarily go to her rallies. So she has resorted to bussing people from one venue to another: astroturf crowds. The proof is here. Brilliant people, using cell phone data, have identified WHO (by area code) goes to these rallies. In her Madison, WI "rally," where over 9,300 devices were detected, fewer than 85 were from WI; five times as many were "staff"; 30% were from either Atlanta or Savannah (in WI!), and 89% had been to three or more rallies. This is total business of astroturf professional crowds.
4) This is big. A poll now has Bernie Moreno up in Ohio, where President Trump will crush Cackles and ensure his margin of victory. This would be the 52nd vote (plus Vance as a tie
