We should be clear, if the shoe was on the other foot, Dems wouldn’t be getting headlines like this….

Mail vote returns really picking up in Florida. Couple of things I'm keeping an eye one: - Dems have an edge in return rate, good to see. - In 2022 and 2024, Dems had about a 200k mail vote lead on Election Day. Can Dems build on that? - GOP will win EV here but by how much?

Fantastic analysis here from @ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social here regarding VA early & mail voting. Give this a read and give them a follow for sure!

We got our first report today out of Michigan with regard to mail ballots returned. And on the bingo card of things I wasn't expecting, early on, Wayne County is leading with return rate!! 🥳 Great early sign of momentum in MI!

*whispers* don't look now but, according to FiftyPlusOne, a 54/46 Dem Senate is almost as likely as a 50/50 Senate lmfao 🔥🔥🔥

Another massive update from Philadelphia County this morning! Up to 27k mail ballots returned, for a 29% return rate! State average is still less than 5%. Just unreal.

Combined this with Marist's OH poll, YouGov's Generic Ballot (Dem +15) and Angus Reid's Generic Ballot (Dem +16) ....the GOP is having an apocalyptically bad polling morning so far.

I have this hunch that other pollsters are finding what Marist is but they’re fudging with the numbers in case of a miss. It would make sense why we keep hearing R internals are worse than public. We’ll know more in 5 weeks 🤷‍♂️

For the record, IMHO this shouldn't be legal within certain amount of days before an election. The 30 days he's suspending it for should show it's clearly a rouse...

I gotta tell you, this race becomes more & more personal for me by the minute. Bo French is a disgusting piece of shit who has no place in representing people. He must be defeated in 5 weeks. Just garbage. Society should throw people like this away.

Yea I think we have pretty clear evidence that this year is going to be Phil Scott's closest race in a very, VERY long time. I'd probably have this race at Likely R but first time it's NOT at Safe R in....forever.

AARP out with a new Cooper +11 poll in North Carolina this morning. Also with the generic ballot at Dem +10. That would almost certainly break the gerrymander in NC!

Yea, I think a lot of folks are really not processing this but Dem primary voters in general did a tremendous job this cycle! Even a few breaks like the Maine Senate swap. Big kudos to the voters for making wise choices. I think it's very, very likely to pay off in a few weeks.

Don’t post much personal stuff here but was helping my hubby w/ his side business this morning! He makes incredible gourmet popcorn & other sweet snacks (my favorites are Southern Pecan Carmel & Everything Bagel) If you’re a popcorn fan, check out his Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/ShanesS... 🫶😘🍿

This is an awesome point! Emanuel Clever is 81 years old. He could have just said 'nah fam we out'. He instead said he was going to run again, even with the MO GOP gerrymander. And Fred Wellman also said he'd take on Ann Wagner in MO-02. Dems taking a chance, on every race, is so important!

I say this respectfully... A LOT of folks on here are way too certain about particular races IMHO. And this coming from the eternal optimist lol Like, no, Georgia Gov is not Likely D Bottoms is MAYBE the slightest of favorites based on the environment but I do think some people need to chill a bit

I'm curious where others land on this. Gun to my head, here are the 2-3 races I think each party is gonna say 'that race just slipped away': GOP - Kansas Senate, Ohio Governor, and KY-06 Dem - Georgia Governor, Texas Governor, and PA-01 unfortunately

New Texas poll just dropped from TPOR: Talarico +5 (49-44) Abbott +4 (50-46) They also polled the Railroad race and found Bo French up 1 1,007 LV - polled this week. Strong poll for Talarico, Hinojosa narrowed the lead from their previous poll!

Gonna keep echoing this one but Dembo is a really good candidate in KY-06 AND this is one of the first districts in the country to have polls close. If this race is competitive, get ready for a fucking fun night! 😎

I sincerely hope today was a good reminder to people to not react strongly to any singular poll (but I doubt it will be) Like 95% of polls have been TREMENDOUS for Dems. And still, a number of y'all had a complete meltdown about one poll. ...meanwhile Collins was down in 2 polls the same day.
