    Florida is famous for razor thin margins. Wins are often .1 to .3%

    There are a number of small shifts that favor Biden. Ex-felon voting, first time voters, seniors, women, an increase in Black voters.

    What this just might mean is Florida could go for Biden on election day. Trump can't win without Florida.

    Which means Florida, of all places, might rescue democracy. If you gave me a year, I would not have come up with that one.

    They can start by counting our two votes for Trump from our house, also the two younger friends of mine I convinced to register and vote for their first time. I did my part to save democracy and preserve our Federal Union.

    Nope, he cheated when he tried to shut it down.

    Bet he didn't expect some damn Yankee to throw mud into his mashed taters...

    Seriously, kids, I was worried sick because I knew Trump was going to cheat his ass off.

    What I didn't expect was that his blind thrashing around would do more damage to himself.

    I think we're gonna get the Senate...

    I could care less about the presidency, (Trump made his point, the left showed their true colors) but the Senate that's the one that bothers me. Yeah the Democrats might just win it.

    I do like that fantasy. We could be a civilised country, with a real Left wing, like Denmark.

    Imagine that, we could stop being barbarians.

    And Pennsylvania is never going to complete their voting. Their supreme lousy court is blowing holes in the U.S. Constitution. They don't even care if signatures are forged. Unbelievable!!! But, the leftists want to fundamentally change America which means blowing up the Constitution and the original Declaration of Independence. The only pillar of democracy that can ward off Communism and Fascism effectively. Look how Trump has changed the middle ease. No wars and Muslims at peace with Israel. Trump broke from the stupid traditions of Washington politics and said peace with Israel will have to be done with other countries other than Palestine or Iran if those two will ever be at peace with Israel. The Bush's and Obama's and every other Rhino thinks peace can only happen if it's done with Palestinians first. WRONG!!!

    I just voted early in a heavily Republican Florida county. The place was packed with easily ten times as many voters are normal. If it's this way state wide, it may be a landslide for Trump. One can hope, anyway.

    The only way it won't happen is if the Democrats are allowed to use the liberal courts in the swing states to cheat and defeat Trump.

    I think it will all work out. I'm hoping for a clear win one way or the other. Whoever wins, Trump or Biden, will be our next President.

    Nice post. I agree. Good point about the middle east Abraham Accord. It is an important one of Trumps many accomplishments. Kudos to Kushner and everyone who labored to bring it to pass.

    I'm PRAYING for a clear cut win one way or the other, I shudder at the thought of another Gore v. Bush, only this time in 50 states.

    Cheated, how? The residents of Florida, as is their right, amended the constitution to allow this. We think people who have paid their debt to society should be allowed to participate in society.

    Florida making rules for the Florida election is not related, nor does it harm, anyone's voting in Louisiana. The impact is zero.

    There's no such thing as a national election. There are 50 state elections that all take place on the same day.

    if they served their time, why should they not be able to vote?

    did a judge and jury give them such a punishment, or racist politicians?

    Florida citizens voted to give them the right.

    Guess what? They get to vote.

    You forgot about the Republicans in Florida putting a poll tax on them, that's where the outrage should be, if your left wing or values the constitution

    It wasn't a poll tax. Tallahassee does like to get in the way of what voters decide, though, yes. Historically true.

    A poll tax applies to everyone. If it doesn't apply to every voter, it cannot be, by definition, a poll tax.
