We often talk of a race “tightening” but is it fair to say it’s “loosening” in states like PA?

FL state Sen @JoeGruters & GOP chair to me: “It’s idiotic.”

I asked him if he would have pro-Trump electors declare him the winner even if Biden carried Florida & he said “no.” Asked again, he said “No. We would not do that”
Incoming Florida House Speaker @ChrisSprowls was sent the tweet in question about electors & told my colleague @Mdixon55: “no. Because it is totally crazy. We are fresh out of tin hats.”
A spokeswoman for incoming Florida Senate President @WiltonSimpson similarly denied this claim, referencing statute 103.011 says electors are bound by the actual election results 👇 bit.ly/304Dw6R

Asked if this is true, @jdbalart said: “Of course not. He was asked to answer questions from Telemundo viewers —they were on a monitor. He would answer the monitor. In one moment the monitor went to black — he said ‘I lost the lady’I told him he could answer looking at me“
1/2
...”and that was that.” I asked @jdbalart about it because I know him well and he’s a helluva reporter first and foremost and he would never agree to something like this, where a subject gets interview questions or is allowed to answer off a teleprompter

@TLMDPR should clarify
Maybe I’ll add a third tweet explaining why I checked this: it was tweeted to me this morning on an unrelated matter.

So I checked it out

Let’s go Canes
Good ole Canes. Open up with an 18 yard play and then shut the bed into a 3 & 24.

Why Miami does not recruit good linemen or coach them properly is beyond me. A decades-old problem
Time to get scored on? Let’s see if it’s the same old defense or worse

US Circuit Judge & former FL Supreme Court Justice Barbara Lagoa is at the top of Trump's list to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat. Source who spoke to WH: “Justice Lagoa is perfect. [Trump] president wants a conservative jurist and he wants to win the biggest battleground." 1/3
2. Geography aside, Lagoa also has some demographic advantages: she's a Cuban-American from Miami (Hialeah), a crucial voting bloc for Trump.

Source: "How do Democrats in the Senate vote against a Latina?”
2nd source: “Lagoa is at the top of the list. She checks a lot of boxes.”
3: just because someone is "at the top of the list" does not mean she's going to be picked or has been picked.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett is tops as well & she was a prof in Pence's home state of Indiana

*these are reposts to correct Lagoa's current title

FL is Trump's must-win state and he's basically tied with Biden

So Bloomberg announced a $100m push to stop Trump

It's not too little but is it too late? Overseas absentee ballots go out in 6 days, domestics the 24th. In-person early vote starts Oct. 19

... At what point do we hit saturation on ads? Both sides have spent and reserved $319 million on TV in Florida, according to Ad Analytics

Now, if the money is spent on the mechanics of helping people vote/get to the polls/get registered (time running out), that's something else
