There really is a simple answer to this problem: don’t invite liars on to your programs. Republicans are now in the minority. There is no news value of having them on to spout and mainstream conspiracy theories
I think the media is broken. And that is it. There is no both sides about the election outcome. Inviting guests on to shows to spout conspiracy theories has downstream effects that are destroying peoples' lives, all for a few more clicks and eyeballs
More anecdotal reports that following last week, registered Republicans are changing their registration to something else sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/…
If these reports turn out to be true and substantial, the downstream effect of disgusted persons abandoning the Republican Party will be elected Republicans will feel more primary election pressure from extreme elements of their voters. This won't necessarily help moderation
Breaking news: the Trump campaign has voluntarily withdrawn a challenge in Georgia state court to the presidential election (Trump v Raffensperger). I was scheduled to testify tomorrow for intervenors in support of the state defendants
I have been involved in several successful election lawsuits against the GA Secretary of State's office. It felt odd to be testifying in defense of them, and for them to welcome my assistance. Trump has a way of bringing people together :)
Not sure if @marceelias gets to count this one. I don't think the judge had yet ruled if they would be allowed to intervene
We have a week and a day to go. What seems likely at this point is fewer people will vote early than in the general, which is expected since run-off elections tend to have lower turnout and there were three fewer days of in-person early voting with the holidays
What does this mean for Election Day voters? If the three fewer in-person days affected early turnout, perhaps Election Day will be a greater share of the overall electorate. 1) the ratio of early to Election Day is off plus 2) some people who might vote early vote Election Day
I am reluctant to make same day prior to the election comparisons. If you recall, for the first three days of in-person early voting during the general Georgia had a problem with their electronic poll books. In some places it took up to 15 minutes to check in a single voter.
