Florida counted nearly 2.8 million mail ballots by midnight Tuesday.

So "we mostly vote by mail!" can't possibly be an excuse for California and Arizona.

What is it, then? Why are these states not bothered by their failure to timely count votes when a clear solution exists?
And this isn't a Republican or Democratic issue. #FL23 Rep. Moskowitz (D) recently defended Florida's process against a Trump (R) tirade. Dems don't benefit from California taking a week to do what Florida does in a day. No minority group interests are harmed by faster counting.
And Arizona has had a GOP trifecta for 14 years! For all of Kari Lake's bluster about the 2020 election, there's been shockingly little interest by AZ R's in reforming how their state counts. A timely, accurate count would eliminate fraud fears among all except the true crazies.

Quick Election Eve thread on the bane of every nerd's existence this time of year: MIRAGES.

A mirage happens when a state counts heavily R or D ballots particularly early or late in the process, giving one party the appearance of a big lead that disappears as votes are counted.
Ohio, for example, is a BLUE MIRAGE state. In 2020, Ohio counted heavily Dem early/mail ballots first, and Biden led the state deep into the evening. He lost by 8 after the heavily R election day votes were counted.
Pennsylvania is a RED MIRAGE state, although first results will be heavily Dem out of Philly. But the overwhelmingly Dem mail votes will be counted at the end, so don't get too excited over an evening GOP lead.

NEW RRH Polls of 3 districts:

#VA07
🔴 @yestoyesli (R) 47%
🔵 @RepSpanberger (D) 47%

#OR04
🔴 @alekskarlatos (R) 45%
🔵 @ValHoyle (D) 45%

#OH13
🔴 @madisongesiotto (R) 44%
🔵 @EmiliaSykesOH (D) 46%

rrhelections.com/?p=104100
In #VA07 we found Youngkin very popular (+17) and Biden not (-11). Spanberger leads with those who have already voted; Vega will be relying on strong Election Day turnout. Spanberger leads in Stafford County, Vega in Spotsylvania.
In #OR04, Biden is underwater (-9) despite carrying our sample 50-41 in 2020. Undecideds lean young, blue collar, and rural in this tied race. Hoyle does not have as large a lead in Lane County (Eugene) as one may expect.

Just sitting here thinking about where Joe Pinion could be in the polls right now if he could have raised Amy McGrath kind of money for his long shot run against a Senate Majority Leader.
It will be interesting to see if Pinion can do better in 2020 run against a Senate Majority Leader than McGrath did in 2018. This poll indicates that he could. So far Pinion has raised $96 million less than Amy McGrath did.
As of the last campaign finance filing Joe Pinion (R) has raised $400,875 for his #NYSen campaign vs. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D).

A week late, but let's do a thread on the Alabama VRA case and what it might mean for redistricting in 2024. The Supreme Court is expected to reinterpret the VRA--one way or another--next spring, and the Court's new guidelines will change the way states approach redistricting. 1/
Earlier this year, a lower court ordered Alabama to redraw its map (left), which has had one Black-majority district since 1992. Plaintiffs convinced the court that the VRA required Alabama to draw two Black-majority seats (right, for one example). 2/ ImageImage
SCOTUS has long had a 3-factor test (the "Gingles factors") to determine when a VRA district is required:

1. A compact district can be drawn that is at least 50%+1 of a min. group
2. The minority is politically cohesive
3. Whites bloc vote to defeat minorities' candidates

Here's a supercut of #WISen candidate Mandela Barnes (D) bragging about how he & #WIGov Tony Evers (D) worked to cut Wisconsin's prison population in half by releasing convicted felons back onto the streets of Wisconsin. 1/6
To meet their political goal of cutting Wisconsin prison population in half Evers & Barnes released murderers & rapist back onto the streets of Wisconsin. In 1st half of 2022 they were averaging granting early release to 2 murderers & rapist per week👇 2/

#WIGov Tony Evers (D) appointees granted early release to a stranger who grabbed a UW-Eau Claire college student off the street & raped her and to a man who hacked a gas station clerk to death with a hatchet and blamed it on a fictional black suspects. 3/6
