dola reading some of the twitter comments, looks like it was peaceful until the police tried to seize sound equipment from the marchers and things got violent.

DSM Register poll just came out that has Trump up 7 in Iowa, 48-41. Their final poll in 2016 also had Trump up 7 and he won by 9. Gotta hope this is just an outlier. The independents did a complete 180 in the poll from the month before. Selzer is a great pollster but it just seems strange.

Only, but I was actually impressed it was that many. It isn't always. My impression is that in the long-term, although it will be up this cycle, that lower levels in future decades are to be expected.

Anyone else got something on PredictIt?
I got shares of the following: Biden wins Iowa (.30) Biden wins Florida (.42) Biden wins North Carolina (.50) Biden wins by 10.5% or more (.19)

Trump winning wouldn't mean we'd be done with polls, it would just mean we need to make an adjustment in polling science. That's like saying we don't trust physics because quantam mechanics was a surprise or relativity turned out to be imperfectly articulated and defined.

I was a bit concerned after seeing the Iowa poll plus the rumor that a GOP pollster was privately telling the GOP that they had Trump ahead in all swing states (McLaughlin, I think?), but then I read that if Biden takes WI, MI and NC with the rest of the relatively safe Clinton states, he gets to 275 EV. Now, that sets up an almost certain challenge by Trump since it's so close, but at least he'd be in front. Hopefully that scenario plays out plus he takes one or more of AZ, GA, PA, and FL.
I don't hold out much hope for TX. I think that ends up at best like the Beto result - great considering it's TX but still a loss, even if it was close. EDIT to add: the good news is we'll know the outcome for NC on Tuesday unless it's too close to call. It won't be a result of waiting for ballots - the Board said they'll be able to report 97% of ballot that night.

I tried to get in on the Biden wins outright, but that market was capped at number of traders. I did add: Biden wins PA (.61)

Absolutely need a quick NC call for Biden and maybe AZ or GA to seal things by Wednesday morning or we're in for a world of hurt.

It's what authoritarian leaders do. Forment confusion, obfuscate international oversight, create a plausible alternative fact tree to keep out observers and drive partisan support. It's very successful in places that aren't the US. The fact that it's even thought possible here is simply outrageous, but you can see the map for it, and it's been obvious for a long time.

Let’s just hypothesize that this does go all to hell and somehow Trump “wins” via the courts. What’s to stop what seems a likely majority in the Senate and House for Dems from just impeaching him and booting him out in January?

Dems would need 67 votes in the Senate to do that. And that just makes Pence president.

Back down to 89. Cue the sky is falling hand-wringing. It is encouraging to see the number of court cases about the election that are going the way of suppressing not being accepted.
And yeah, the Senate could just impeach Trump (nvm they won't have enough votes to do it), but then they'd have to impeach Pence as well which would just mean Pelosi would be president, and it would be obvious at that point what is going on. President would just refuse to leave, it would accomplish nothing. |

I hope it does. That's the kind of statement that would accelerate the necessary rethinking the Republican Party needs to do at the ground level.

I guess it's not great for color blind folks, but it means it's good for Democrats.
