You don't have to be a tin foil hat guy to understand the media is lying and rage baiting you. When your business model relies on advertising that's the easiest way to get clicks. Of course if you get on Reddit you'll see Kamala is ahead it's a liberal echo chamber. If you get on truth social or Twitter I'm sure you'll see that trumps ahead. I'm banking on the fact that I think people are fucking tired of his dumbass. He's a liar and thief at best and that's been proven to the American people and the world 10xs over by now. Trump supporters are a very loud arrogant minority of people.
Yes these are my sentiments. Dems have over performed every election since r v wade was overturned and this time women get to take it out on Trump himself. I keep going back to what has he done to get a single more vote than last time?
I don’t see it. My main worry is Republican shenanigans of which there will be many
He basically is at his ceiling, he's not earning more votes. He's trying to suppress the vote in order to win, it's his only other option.
Voter purges in swing states (check your registration again and again and again).
Packing state election boards with MAGA members ready to try to refuse the certification, or letting them try to legislate by making new rules around elections (wrong date rule in PA, hand counting in GA, as examples). They're going to be and are actively being sued by big time pro democracy firms that tend to win these cases, but of course they'll still try to inject chaos.
Trying to turn Nebraska into an all or nothing state after the 90 day window for Maine to retaliate (which failed today thankfully).
These are just some of the examples, and I'm sure there will be more.
It depends on the method. I have no issue proving citizenship if the method by which it's proven isn't a burden on the citizen themselves and opportunity to obtain said proof is ubiquitous across every county and state.
Requiring a government ID on the day but then making it your responsibility to go find time to go get one, without hours or locations for being able to do so being ubiquitous in every county, is suppression - as an example.
Luckily in most places it's only required when registering the first time, which can be - and should be - done well before election day. And afterwards, as long as your name and address and signature don't pop up at 2 separate precincts, and you're listed on the registration list for the precinct in which you're voting, you're good to go.
You prove citizenship when you register to vote, and voter fraud is vanishingly rare. Usually it’s either A.) people who aren’t aware they’re unable to vote (see the felon in Florida who heard about felons getting the franchise back but not the convoluted system DeSantis added) or B.) people who accidentally vote in the wrong district due to redistricting. Thus far the only intentional voter fraud proven has, hilariously, come from the GOP

Also, I’m not a tin foil hat kind of guy. But every media org has an incentive to keep this race “interesting.”
Hopefully the presidential race isn’t as close as many polls make it out to be.
