    This is the person I am following for MIV. Look at the Atlanta on time mail delivery, a state that has Election Day cutoff for vote counting. Michigan and Arizona are ED cutoff states.



    Like I posted in the other thread, I hope Sullivan finds someone in contempt and sends someone to jail for this.
     
    Mike blew a lot of cash and it doesn't seem to have moved the needle much.


    We're at the point in this country where cash is becoming irrelevant. People's positions have ossified so much that I doubt a commercial is going to sway an opinion. Candidates need to rethink how they engage voters. Long-form discussions like Joe Rogan's podcasts, etc. but with greater outreach. Even then it is arguable that America is so tribal it simply does not matter. Twenty or more years ago it was commonplace to see people ticket split. Now? Not so much. For the $100 million spent by Jaime Harrison in South Carolina, he still got relatively crushed.
     
    I think Biden suffered from the lack of the ground game. Trump supporters didn’t fear covid and were out knocking on doors. Imagine if Biden had gotten 1-2% more voters out in dem strong holds.
     
    (I just read this)

    Biden has now received more votes for president than any other candidate in U.S. election history, officially surpassing former President Barack Obama's 2008 popular vote numbers around 8 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

    The news follows reports on Tuesday night that the 2020 election was shaping up to have the highest voter turnout since 1908, when 65 percent of eligible Americans voted, The New York Times reports. The country was on track for around 160 million votes this year, which would put the eligible turnout rate at around 67 percent.

    This is something @JimEverett has talked about in the past when talking about campaign finance. Both Hillary and Biden outspent Trump by significant margins and Trump outperformed against his expected averages.
