Democratic voters who have requested mail ballots — and returned them — greatly outnumber Republicans so far in key battleground states, causing alarm among GOP party leaders and strategists that President Trump’s attacks on mail voting could be hurting the party’s prospects to retain the White House and the Senate this year.
The margins are “stunning” — and bad news for Republicans up and down the ballot, said longtime GOP pollster Whit Ayres. While the Republican Party is focused on getting voters out on Election Day, he noted that older voters who have traditionally supported Republicans are most concerned about being infected with the novel coronavirus and could choose to stay home if the outbreak intensifies as the election nears.
That’s not to say there aren’t risks here for Democrats. For one, mail ballots are disqualified at a higher rate than votes cast at polls, because voters have to complete multiple steps accurately without an election worker there to guide them. Leave a date blank or put your signature in the wrong place, and your ballot could be tossed. It’s entirely possible that in some states the margin of the winner’s victory will be smaller than the number of mail ballots that were disqualified.
that makes it easier to vote must be bad — and Trump jumped in to say the whole thing was a plot against him. The partisan lines were drawn, and the voters changed their behavior in response.As everyone knows by now, mail ballots take longer to process, and the unprecedented number of them could mean we don’t know the result of the election for days, or even weeks. But on the bright side, the fact that we’ve been discussing that likely delay means we’re prepared for it.
IT'S TIME TO COME TO THE REALIZATION that Trump's only interest is his re-election & that Trump couldn't care less about anything or anyone else. 'TRUMP WILL SAY & DO ANYTHING' he thinks will secure his re-election, even endangering other people's lives.
Vote for JOE BIDEN for President! For goodness is what we need more than ever.
When will people realize TRUMP'S A NATURAL BORN LIAR with a silverspoon up his a$$, who couldn't care less about anything or anyone else but himself. Trump hasn't a clue about the average man or woman's lives. ALL THAT TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO DO IS repeat campaign slogans & LIEs.
