    Certainly possible. It looks like it's serving him well in Florida and Wisconsin, but *fuck* Florida.

    As I've stated before, between Philly and Pittsburgh roughly 500,000 registered Democrats did not vote in 2016. Even if half of those would vote this time Biden should win the state easily.

    Pearlman is practically balled up on the bathroom floor. He has tweeted and retweeted like 5,000 times the last few days.

    The polls were wrong (by a little nationally, by somewhat more in Pa., Mich., Wisc.) so some Democrats are no longer going to believe empirical evidence. Saw a post on twitter where the guy described Democrats reacting to a bad poll and then to a good one. Used the same three emojis expressing sadness and anxiety for each one. Look, Trump could win, because in a two unit contest either person/team can. But as upsets go, this would make Trump's win in 2016 look like the Lakers winning the NBA title for 2020.

    The first of four days of in-person voting in Riverside County CA overwhelms system.

    130 voters assistance centers at schools, community centers and similar locations have replaced traditional polling sites. A smaller number of sites have been collecting drop-off ballots for a couple of weeks.

    I'll fully cop to spending too much time obsessing over unlikely scenarios.

    If you're asking me what I think is most likely to happen, I think as soon as Florida starts reporting results, all the analysts will agree the early returns look awful for Trump and spend a few hours talking about how bad it looks without wanting to actually call it. Then when they do, that's effectively game over.

    I think Biden probably wins Georgia too. North Carolina will be too close to call but it will only be for style points.

    FIRST OF FOUR days? In-person early voting started there Oct. 5.

    Today is the last day of early voting in 20 states. Friday was the last day in the others.
