Your daily reminder that polls can encourage us, but only votes get counted.
The national polling averages show Biden’s lead widening in the last week as Election Day nears. It’s 10.6 points today. Battleground states lag the national average, but those numbers are trending up.
The Republicans know they can’t win a free and fair election.

That’s why they’re cramming through a highly partisan Supreme Court nominee.

That’s why it took 11 hours to vote in GA.
That’s why GA uses a voting system that requires 4 different machines to talk to each other, instead of paper ballots.

That’s why the GOP in CA set up fake drop boxes to receive ballots.
That’s why the trump campaign & RNC are trying their damndest to impede voting & vote counting in over 30 lawsuits.
What can we do about it?

Vote!

Get your friends and family to the polls.

Donate to campaigns if you’re able.

Phone bank or text for a campaign.

Write postcards & letters to voters.

Work at a polling place if you can.

But most of all:

“Seeking an 11th-hour campaign reset, Trump has apparently decided that the key to reversing his political fortunes is for him to be everywhere, all the time—on the debate stage, on television, online—until November 3.
“What he seems unable or unwilling to see, though, is that this over-saturation only seems to make the stability and normalcy Biden represents more attractive.
“‘He’s just so angry all the time,’ a Michigan woman said of Trump in a Politico dispatch Wednesday on his worsening poll numbers in the swing state. ‘I really believe that he brings out the worst in people, the worst in situations.’”

“The president's all-out blitz to save his campaign seems to be sending people right to Joe Biden.” vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/t…
“It may be difficult to recall, but there was a time—not so long ago, in fact—when Donald Trump was not the main character in the 24-hour news cycle day after agonizing day.
“Sure, he’d crop up from time to time on Page Six, or get attention on Fox News for some new birther claim. But until about five years ago, Americans’ daily lives didn’t revolve entirely around the outrages and neuroses of a deranged former game show host.

Are there any GOP politicians or campaign operatives with any sense at all? Haven’t they figured out trump is a one trick pony and an absolute political idiot?
