I found it to be dark comedy. But I don't think many neighbors shared that perspective. It seems counterproductive -- a really good way to alienate voters... a really good way to annoy the shit out of people.

The El Camino was to be expected. The 7 Series BMW looked out of place in the mix.
The one I passed yesterday was about 5 pickups. I think they were on their way to meet up with a bigger group.

This being Texas, the trucks were not unexpected. The Mexican flags caused me to raise an eyebrow though. Apparently they were Latinos for Trump. They did not instill a sense of kinship with the other people on the highway.

We're at record numbers here. Already over 120K for the county with another four hours to go. Plus the other 1.4 that went in early voting. 806 polling locations (down from 815 that were planned due to the ruling yesterday re: drive thru voting). Pretty steady clip.

“I smell a blowout” is the new “Hillary’s taking PA by six points.”

In person voting tends to be more Republican. That indicates to me that low turnout on election day is a plus for Biden. Added to his assumed advantage in mail in voting, that would suggest a robust win, if not a blowout.

Yes. It was the quantification of the insurmountable lead that was used as the primary justification for the third party vote.

There appears no mathematical path for a Trump victory. This is not 2016. TX may go blue.

CNN saying NC and OH too early to tell because most of the current votes are early.
