    What I observed in life and last year, it must be that Hevenly powers and some plan is unfolding.

    I don't work for the government, but I plan to stay home on Election Day and the day after. With the way Trump has been encouraging violence, the overall stress building up in the system, the access to guns, etc. possible events too unpredictable, I don't want to chance it.

    Well, if so, then the Lord surely does work in mysterious ways.

    I believe the root of this problem is that news sources pushing right leaning views are poor inaccurate sources for news. The best of the right leaning news channel bunch is Fox. Yet MediaBiasFactCheck rates them low for accuracy and they flat out lie quite often. For example they lost the defamation lawsuit for about 3/4 of a billion dollars for telling a mountain of lies about voting machines. Folks interested in getting real news with a right lean to it should not watch Fox and way worse is Newsmax and OAN. Instead read your news like from the Wall Street Journal.

    If Harris is declared the winner on election night, I will probably stay in the next day. I've only seen one Trump sign in my neighborhood even though I live in a Republican-controlled area, so I don't think things will get too crazy immediately around me.

    In case anyone else would like something Democratically hopeful to cling to for emotional comfort, here's an article that details what I'm clinging to for my little comfort. This is not something that would impact polling much at all. So it won't be reflected there. It also will have its impact where we would want it most, that is in the very close swing states which currently sit at close to 50/50. But it could mean a percent or so in the final vote (note: that one percent is my own wild quantitative guess).

    Trump’s Campaign Is Short on Cash. Its Solution Could Cost Him the Election.

    Harris wouldn't have been my first, second, or third choice, but anyone not in MAGA is a better option than Donald.

    The latest poll on the Cancruz vs Allred race shows only a 1.5% lead for Cancruz. That's giving me a little hope. Also, Harris will be campaigning in Houston. Donald is holding a rally in Austin. The fact that both of them are campaigning in a non-swing state so close to election day is an indication that Fled Cruz is in danger of losing.

    I did vote for Harris in 2020 for the nomination. So I do like her. My opinion of Pete Buttigieg has since gone way up. A few months ago she was really the only choice to replace Biden though. I say that because she would have access to the Presidential campaign funds which no one else could have accessed. Also, anyone else would have splintered the party base and we needed to be united because the election was very near and Trump mustn't get in. But if those two considerations didn't apply, Harris might have been my third choice after Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsome.

    Which is interesting for both to be here, because our state (Texas) has been so solidly red for awhile now. I have stated this before, if Trump loses Texas, it is almost curtains for him. Just my opinion. The turn out at my polling place ( At my local community college, for which I work for) has been steady all day. I suspect it will be a madhouse on election day.

    The blue and purple counties in the major metro areas are breaking early voting records. We'll see what that means. Colin Allred has a better chance of winning the senate race than Harris has of winning Texas. It's just nice to see campaigning outside of the expected swing states.

    I spoke too soon. Records were broken the first three days, but numbers dropped below 2020 numbers on the fourth day.

    A Texas voter punched a 69-year-old election worker after the voter was told to take his Trump hat off.

    A sad example of one of those low IQ mentally unstable folks that we were discussing earlier.
