    IMO, it is going to come down to how much the Republicans get people to vote early. The last election went bad for them because people didn’t trust voting by mail and there’s always a contingent of people who intend to vote on election day but don’t make it for one reason or another. Political junkies should also watch the weather forecast in close states. Bad weather probably favors Democrats in this election. This is a change from the 80’s and 90’s when Democrats were less likely to show-up during bad weather.

      Yeah, it will be interesting. I honestly don’t get how people wouldn’t vote early. I got my ballot in the mail, filled it out, and dropped it off at a nearby ballot box when I went out for lunch. The very next day I got an email saying ballot was received. lol Why anyone would want to go vote in person instead of that process is beyond me, but maybe some people like the nostalgia of it along with the false security?!
