I want to believe that this poll is accurate. If so, it’s really GREAT news, but I find it hard to believe.

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.

Even A rated polling can produce an outlier which is what this is. It’s a long shot for Bide to carry Georgia but I’m hoping he does.

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.

And Quinnipiac is one of the biggest. So this is a legit data point, nothing more, nothing less.

Hunter.

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

So I’d say we may have a 2-to-4-point lead IRL. Still, it’s one more bit of Repug “home territory” they have to waste resources defending.

It's still extremely close, and GOPers will undoubtedly pull dirty tricks since Kemp is now the governor...... SO VOTE !!!!!!!

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

Ballots can be opened and prepared to to fed onto optical scanners ahead of time.

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.

When I go out to vote, I think I’ll buy that bottle of champagne to chill. And maybe get some popcorn to have ready to pop. I’m 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 d’etat, McGrath kicks McConnell to the curb. Such sweet thoughts!
