"An armada of as many as 500 golf carts gathered at the Sea Breeze Recreation Center to caravan to the nearby elections office, so folks could drop off ballots for Biden."

 

A great point made by one supporter: "But there was also “an overwhelming sense in 2016 of ‘we’ve got this in the bag.’ There was a level of complacency that she’d win,” said Stanley. “Now there’s a heightened sense of urgency, and in many ways, Trump has been our best recruiting tool ever.”"

Interesting quote for a Republican Strategist in the race:

 

Legendary Republican campaign strategist Ed Rollins, who is the chair of the pro-Donald Trump Great America PAC, told me "I'm afraid the race is over." Rollins said that he "would definitely recommend that candidates make the case for their own reelection, and when asked about President Trump they should say 'I support him when it's in the interest of my state, North Carolina, Arizona — and oppose him when it's not in the interest of our state. My job to support the people of our state.'"

 

"What happened after the first presidential debate is every Senate race saw a 3- to 4-point drop [for Republican candidates] across the board," said Rollins. "So campaigns are panicking and it's the first time in a long while that they are being outraised. The potential is there to lose not only the presidency but the Senate as well...and to see the kind of wipeout we haven't an experienced since the post-Watergate year of 1974."

I don't think there's anything wrong there. White House and Trump campaign didn't pay the travel expenses. No one was given a fee to attend.

 

The more telling thing is the group was expected to be 20,000 and they only got 2,000 while paying for travel costs. 

 

Also, White House was saying it was an official event but Trump turned into into a campaign speech violates some ethics.

Early votes seem to be going Democrat in Wisconsin:

 

"the mother lode of absentee ballots is coming in Dane County, a Democratic stronghold that includes Madison. As of Friday, the number of submitted ballots there amounted to more than 36% of the county's total 2016 election vote; that figure is 10 percentage points higher than in any other county in the state."

 

"In Wisconsin's Republican heartland, the suburban counties that ring Milwaukee, the absentee turnout is only at about the state average so far. And in the dozens of rural counties where Trump won huge victories four years ago, ballots are being returned at a far slower rate than in the state's Democratic areas"

 

For other key states:

"Ballot return data from heavily Democratic cities like Pittsburgh; Chapel Hill, N.C.; and Tampa, Fla., and the long lines of cars waiting at a Houston arena to drop off ballots, are signs that many voters have followed through on their intentions to cast ballots well ahead of Nov. 3"

 

Other key issue is ballots are being made when Trump's approval rating is at one of its lowest at even Republican leaning Rasmussen:

 

"As of Friday, more than 8.3 million ballots had already been received by elections officials in the 30 states that have made data available. In six states -- including the battlegrounds of Wisconsin and Minnesota -- the number of ballots returned already is more than 20% of the entire 2016 turnout."

...shoulda called Accountemps to "bolster" the turnout.......

 

Outside the whole Democrats don't want to go to big get togethers due to COVID, all the Democrats are just too busy out early voting.

In Wisconsin, about 146,000 people voted by mail in the 2016 general election. This fall, about 647,000 people have already voted absentee, many in Democratic strongholds.

Americans are voting early in the 2020 general election at an unprecedented pace, with elections officials having already received more than 9 million ballots in the 30 states that have made data available, and that data indicates that registered Democrats have returned more than twice as many ballots than Republicans thus far

 

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/520306-democrats-surge-past-republicans-in-early-voting

 

In Florida, registered Democrats had out-voted registered Republicans by a slim 37 percent to 35 percent margin by this point in 2016. Today, almost 53 percent of votes cast in Florida have come from registered Democrats, while Republicans account for just 28 percent

 

In North Carolina, registered Democrats have cast 52 percent of all ballots so far, up from 36 percent four years ago. Registered Republicans account for just 17 percent of the ballots, down from 37 percent in 2016.

 

And in Pennsylvania, a state at the heart of Trump's reelection strategy, registered Democrats have cast more than three-quarters of all ballots. Republicans made up just 15 percent of ballots returned to date.

You don't see this kind of excitement for Trump:

What's his source on this? Is this an actual thing or is he just making things up? I thought the right hated anonymous sources? Well though, is it anonymous if it's just him making things up?
