(32,017 posts)I want to believe that this poll is accurate. If so, its really GREAT news, but I find it hard to believe.

(32,017 posts)But even they can produce an outlier poll. That said, this poll MAY actually be accurate. If so, it buttresses my faith in the sanity of the American people, generally, and the people of my home state, particularly.
We may be slow, but we get there ... eventually.

(56 posts)Even A rated polling can produce an outlier which is what this is. Its a long shot for Bide to carry Georgia but Im hoping he does.

(11,519 posts)She waited in line for an hour to vote early and told me that over half the people there were black. Very good news in a red county, it would be great if this trend holds.

(19,066 posts)And Quinnipiac is one of the biggest. So this is a legit data point, nothing more, nothing less.

The first presidential debate was down 10M from 2016. I think people have tuned out and they are just voting.

If Biden wins GA, it will be in no small part due to Stacey Abrams. She's a full blown rock star!!

Q: Can election officials begin counting absentee ballots before polls close for in-person voters?
A: No absentee ballots can be counted until polls close on Election Day. However, a rule passed by the State Election Board this summer allows county election officials to begin processing absentee ballots two weeks and a day ahead of time.
The rule will give local election officials a head-start on the time-consuming process of opening, verifying and scanning a large number of absentee ballots. No votes will be allowed to be tabulated by election computers until after polls close Nov. 3.

(10,011 posts)When I go out to vote, I think Ill buy that bottle of champagne to chill. And maybe get some popcorn to have ready to pop. Im not relaxing yet, but I like the direction of the polls. Kelly is ahead in Arizona and Colorado is close. Now if Greenfield pulls off a win over Ernst, Gideon knocks out Collins, Harrison kicks Lindsey's butt, and the coup detat, McGrath kicks McConnell to the curb. Such sweet thoughts!

(1,616 posts)and the lines at early voting locations are incredible. That poll may be on to something.
