I drove by two polling places in eastern Travis County and both of them had huge lines out the door. 

That's a lot of votes for Ken Paxton to disqualify.

I’ve been a little bit tuned out the past few weeks so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I see PredictIt is now giving a moderate edge to Trump. What changed?

Arnold Palmer’s dick entered the race.

Anyone seen JD Vance lately?  Did the campaign lock him up in a sofa warehouse?

Yeah, this has been extremely weird. Trump scaled his appearances way back, and then Vance has been off the radar.

Harris County has such boring stickers.

So par for the course for Houston - boring and sterile.

Dallas.  But yeah.  Voted at Hamilton Park UMC, so a bit of extra flava from the nice aunties and grandmamas.

Utterly annoying that everyone is just taking these shitty right wing poll as gospel.  It's just....

It's so dumb.  Garbage in, garbage out. 

Race to the WH has suspended their model because they don't feel they can provide an objective model when 70% of polls right now are right wing spam. 

The problem is 538/Silver/Economist don't want to be called biased by removing all of these crap polls.

As a delegate of the HCC (Honky Cracker Coalition), can you please 1) describe this term and 2) notate if this term is to be used only by the black community?

Coonin has a couple meanings in the black community. It means a step and fetch type of reinforcement of black stereotypes, but usually done over the top. There is a spectrum. We would call Clarence Thomas one. However, the purest form of the word is its original intention and fits Antonio Brown to a tee. Him being up there calling white folks crackers for no reason is coonin. Read below. BTW, coon is the worst thing a black person could call another black person. If you hear that word exchanged between black folks in a confrontation clear the area. Lol.

This is one where I think the data is definitely off.

Posited:

1) people tend to gamble for the result they want to happen.

2) males gamble on predictit more than females.

3) this year will see uniquely high gender polarization.

= predictit saying Trump will win handily.

All the gamblers I know, and I know a lot, skew hard right.  It’s illegal most places, so gamblers are inherently libertarian.  You can’t use a pool of gamblers to predict an election.  It’s classic sample bias.

what the fuck is this supposed to mean? 

Dems are turning out their voters now (or getting mail returns from) who are more likely to vote/typically vote, which means they have to do more work to get their low propensity voters to show up later, while GOP is turning out low propensity voters/don't usually vote now, which means they have less work to do later to turn out their high propensity voters.

But that data seems weird.  No one else is tracking that kind of data that I know of.

What is this dude talking about...lol

The Girdusky dude is an oddball. He’s on Abby’s show on CNN a lot. I think he was once a Kerry voter, but all he does is whine about “what about this!” And never really makes a point. I think js explained it well as to what he was talking about. It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that be used as a positive talking point, but Rs are looking for anything right now.

assuming dems have a better ground game, or at least a bigger budget to support one, this shouldn't matter at all. whereas if you had limited funds (which the gop seems to), then it would make more sense for them to throw resources at lower-propensity voters, so maybe somebody with a brain is in charge there.

i don't think anyone expects dems to just go after likely dem voters and disregard everybody else.

another interesting thing i heard (anecdotally, of course), is about former nevada residents who moved to ca during/since covid because of all the layoffs. most are still registered in nv, and all of them are voting kamala. i wonder how hard it is to poll nv because of all the displaced residents.

Dems have the better ground game - the Culinary Union does the heavy lifting. 

The think is - Nevada is just weird.   The largest population center in the state (Vegas) that decides the whole thing is full of people who work overnight shifts and odd hours. And everyone gets a ballot in the mail.

Also recall that the weekends are not the heaviest voting days in Clark due to the industry being its most busy Friday to Sunday. It’s midweek I think?
