Turnout

[Lance_Castro]

Voter Turnout is far more variable and difficult to predict than any other election influencer.

If men without post secondary education stay home that day and childless cat ladies are feelin’ it that morning, the election goes one way.

Likewise, if the kitties are sad and aunt flow’s in town that day and the men are planning on going to the tavern to celebrate a football win or dead stock driver, they might vote in numbers and you have a different result.

I used to drive little old ladies to the polls for a party; the more of them you can drag out of the seniors homes, the better!

This Diné leader is using horses to bring ‘the greatest Native turnout ever’ to the polls

In part due to Young’s advocacy, Native American voters are credited with flipping the historically red state of Arizona to Democrat during the 2020 election. That year, up to 90% of the roughly 67,000 eligible voters in the Navajo Nation voted for Joe Biden, according to data.

Young said she hopes that the success of the Ride to the Polls campaign in 2020 and 2022 will encourage “the greatest Native turnout ever” in the upcoming election. This year, the campaign has extended its reach with events such as skateboarding and bull-riding competitions, heavy metal and country music concerts.

Neil Young is one of the old hippies that has stayed involved in trying to make the world a better place, and that’s pretty cool.

The article is about Allie Young, not Neil Young.

Didn't Trump say something recently about making voting compulsory?

(It is compulsory in Australia, but I wouldn't expect Trump to know that.)

Funny thing is that allegations of “rigged” elections by Trump can actually reduce Republican turnout:

My rural area is made up mostly of Apaches and Mexican Americans. We got our mail-in ballots at the Post Office last Thursday, and most of us filled them out right there and mailed them back the same day.

Mail-in voting is the way to go. There was so much enthusiasm this year after Biden dropped out that voters, especially women, made up their minds last June who they would vote for.

Now the MAGAts can lie all they want, and it will not affect turnout one bit. Many of us in Arizona already voted. Tick-tock, MAGAts.

I think trump’s outsourced ground game is underfunded because they were beating Biden.

Harris has a billlion bucks and more people on the ground, though it feels like trump’s crazyman routine is getting more attention.

Could be a squeaker. I say trump will declare Victory at 847 Eastern time election nite to get a jump on any coup prep.

Ah, but it just might...against them. If they're convinced Trump is going to lose because Those People won't let him win, some of them might opt to stay home.

Both parties are voting early in key battleground states (despite Trump telling people not to).

Georgia early voting turnout smashes record by over 116,000 ballots

By 2 p.m., 187,973 votes had been cast in person, according to Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer for the Secretary of State. The first-day early voting record is 136,000 votes cast in 2020, the Georgia Recorder reported.

Sterling said on Twitter around 4 p.m. that the vote total had reached about 251,899 votes cast statewide.

Democrats vote early more than "republicans", and Georgia just reported that it smashed its all time first day early voting record.

Make of that ^ what you will…

I wonder how many of the political experts on this forum are actually active in politics versus posting about it anonymously online?

I assume close to Zero.

Is our enthusiasm gap showing?

My thoughts on you exactly!
Whydafuk would a Native American come here daily and carry the water for white privilege? Gots to be paid! What's the running price for selling out?
