only a matter of time before the land of billion-dollar election campaigns supersized the vote itself. The great wave of early voting America has experienced over the past two weeks is nonetheless bracing. By the time Donald Trump and Joe Biden are due to hold their debate this week, around 50m ballots will have been cast—almost 40% of the total in 2016. The president, it must be said, is leaving his comeback awfully late.
Proceeding north via Winston-Salem to preppy Durham, then to the former mill-town of Henderson, close to the Virginia border, to visit a last polling-site after sunset, there were similar scenes in each place. A telltale cluster of campaign signs outside a school, fire-station or college building; a steady trickle and often a long line of silent voters; grim head-shakes or nods to the partisan “poll-greeters” handing out their lists of names.
There is good news here. Despite covid-19, the chaos of decentralised electoral governance, and Republican efforts to exploit it for partisan gain, the election seems—at this early stage—to be going fairly well. Most states have expanded their time-frames and opened more sites for early voting. North Carolina and other states have facilitated kerbside voting, enabling high-risk voters to cast ballots in person. A feared shortage of volunteers seems not to have transpired.
Worse news is that one of America’s few shared civic rituals has become as politicised as everything else. The early-vote surge has been driven by Democrats—as indicated by the fact that registered Democrats are over one-and-a-half times as likely to have voted as registered Republicans. Most are voting by post. In contrast, registered Republicans, who used to dominate mail-voting, are in most states likelier to vote early in person.
They were just alligned with God's will. No creationism, thanksss
And it is not a blue wave...

It’s you the media that plant the seeds of mis trust.
He has done well. We certainly don’t trust him.
Donald Trump missed the greatest opportunity to be re-elected because the divide and rule tactics he adopted in 2016 was now archaic. He would have changed his strategy to unite and rule again. Which would heal and attract more people, mostly admirers to his so called base.
Only thing you should report about Trump are his lies.

하나님의 뜻을 온전히 지킨 자, 거의 온전히 지킨 자, 아주 많이 지킨 자, 어느 정도 지킨 자, 적게 지킨 자, 아예 지키지 않은 자 중에서 천국에 합당한 자는 오직 온전히 지킨 자입니다. 온전히 지키는 자는 오직 성령의 불을 받은 자입니다.
No one should want any GOP person elected to office at this time. The GOP is failing Americans and the world. Mask up, vote for new leadership in DC and care for all. =

What the hell? How does the economist get trolled by evangelical bots
