POTUS 2024 - Harris vs Trump - General Election Discussion

[Lathum]

The rule requires the hand count to take place the night of the November election or the next day. But dozens of election officials said that would be physically impossible in all but the smallest counties.

This is the playbook. Count and certify the rural areas so it looks like Trump is winning late into the night, then when Atlanta count comes up scream fraud and how the dems are cheating because ballots mysteriously appeared over night.

As a Dem, I find it somewhat comforting that the GOP feels the need to start introducing maximum shenanigans this late in the game (Nebraska, Georgia). That means that their internal polling shows that they are losing. They weren't acting like this when Trump was up 5 over Biden.

As an American, I am scared b/c once you break Democracy, it is hard to fix it.

That, or miss the deadline and try to throw it to the House.

Yeah. I can only assume their internal polling in the blue wall is really bad and Nebraska is a Hail Mary.

I’m really trying to be cautious but the more I think about it I think Harris could win in a landslide.

As an American, I'm scared because I don't believe Democracy works and because ours has been becoming more and more broken for decades, arguably generations. All of the deplorable election shenanigans could go away tomorrow and it wouldn't do any more than buy us a little more time.
