Polling does indicate a great proportion of the early vote is for Mr. Biden, and as something like two thirds of the 2916 vote is already in, even if Republicans have a substantial edge on the day itself, it will avail them nothing.

... we think it's only Dems that increased the numbers? Because the Republicans are demoralized and are going to sleep late and not vote.

But I scrolled far enough back on facebook to find the conversations - and both of her comments were hidden by FB as false.

So - I'll try to paraphrase from what I recall.

Real Americans go to the polls on election day. She and her husband are both disabled (he has had massive strokes; she has diabetes (including necrosis and neuropathy in lower extremities) and is on oxygen. If they can go to the polls on Election day, so can everyone else.

This post was in FB thread railing about the applications for absentee ballots that the Republican SOS in Ohio mailed to every voter. She was outraged and screaming about voter fraud - which is why her posts got hidden.

. . . she has a lot of hidden posts. Not terribly surprising.
