The "news" keeps reporting that early voting overwhelming is a BLUE wave...

[Ferrets are Cool]

BUT, that most republicans are waiting until Nov 3rd. Here is my prediction...when they(repugs) see those LONG ASS LINES on Nov 3rd, they will decide it's just not worth the wait to vote for OrangeAnus.

1. There might not be long lines on November 3rd if most people vote early.

2. We shall see.

4. Interestingly enough, there are almost never any long lines in republican areas.

🤔🙄

11. Strange how that happens with extra machines sent there from Dem areas.

3. The Only long lines are in Democratic Precincts-Nobody lives in Red Precincts so No Lines

5. We'll be at about 85-90 thousand daily new cases by Election Day.

Democrats are smart to lock in their votes before the virus wave builds again. The fact we will be in worse shape with the virus on Election Day than we were in the spring will dissuade some from voting.

6. It was always a risky strategy for Trump to bash mail in voting.

What happened is he scared a lot of Democrats into voting early and others like me decided to use the drop box for my mail ballot. I absolutely would have mailed it in and took my chances if he hadn't opened his big yap. I think there are many more just like me. And it is also obvious to me that relying on a large turnout by Republicans on election day is likely going to bite Trump and the down ballot candidates big time. With Covid on the rise again and the possibility of bad weather plus seeing the blue wave of early voting and hearing Trump melt down daily a lot of those voters may just stay home. That is why I think we are going to see blue in some surprising states such as Texas, Alaska, maybe Arkansas and maybe Kansas.

13. That is right.

Everyone in my family is voting in person.

I had a mail in ballot and took it in by hand.

I know for sure it will count.

This trend is a blue wave in the making all by itself!

15. As his lead continues to shrink election night, watch him start screeching that all mail in

Ballots be counted.

There may not be lines on Election Day for the repukes, but I still think one day of voting does equal weeks of early voting and mail ballots. If the weather is bad that will be another factor, how much worse covid is by then. It’s a crap shoot

7. Repubs won't care about the lines

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Repugs don't mind standing in long lines?

Wow. I learned something new today.

The ONLY time I've seen repugs in long lines if when they were getting something FREE from FEMA. And they still bitch.

[LakeArenal]

14. Or blockading a Capital building in Michigan.

[SoonerPride]

10. No but bad weather plus long lines will depress turnout

8. Most Republicans don't have long lines

Long lines are an intentional deterrent to urban voting. In my suburban districts I have never waited more than 25 minutes to vote. In 2016 there was a lineup to park that added 10 minutes or so to the usual 10 minutes.

12. I keep thinking of...

...an old SNL skit w/ Helen Hunt as a flight attendant. She an one of the SNL regulars had just one line...


"buh-bye!"

16. COVID could be a rampant monster by then

let them wait
