Realized I never made a prediction so what the hell--November 6th (after the PA results are finalized).

That mail in vs in person early voting chart reminds me on how just massively below replacement level New York's laws are when it comes to ease of voting.

I can't believe no one chose November 6. I was debating between the 6th & 9th, went with 11/9. But I feel like there's a decent chance we know in the November 4-6 range, if Biden does very well. And there is evidence of that possibility.

I remember people trying to convince Mattis & Kelly were going to step in.

I laughed then, I am extremely weakened by it now.

Trump campaign sought sensitive ballot security information from Pa. county, alarming commissioner

The Trump campaign sought highly sensitive information about voting security measures in at least one Pennsylvania county this week, alarming the head commissioner, who said he wasn’t comfortable responding to the request.

In an email sent Tuesday and later reviewed by The Washington Post, the Trump campaign asked officials in Cumberland County for the names of people who transport ballots and voting machines once polls close, the names of people who have access to the ballots afterward, and the precise locations where the ballots are stored, including room numbers.

The bullet-point questionnaire, sent from a campaign volunteer’s Gmail account, also sought answers on more generic issues such as where ballots are counted and whether information is wiped from voting machines. The email was first reported by the Sentinel newspaper.

County Commissioner Gary Eichelberger, a Republican, called the request intrusive and said that responding might disrupt election administration in the Republican-leaning county of 253,000.

“Our responsibility is to protect the integrity and security of the election,” he told The Post on Saturday. “I don’t know if the Trump campaign understands that, but they’re asking to do our job as the board of elections. And that’s our job, not their job.” He said he’d never seen a request like it in 16 years as an election official.
