I hate to hear poll results. I have never trusted them. Are they trying to get us to stay home because one candidate is up in the polls or are they trying to get us to go to vote? Look at the 2016 election polls. (Oh the good old days!) Wasn't Ms. Hillary Deplorable slated to win? That's what scares me the most. I've already seen videos of 'Mules' packing the drop boxes. They have always cheated, but COVID-19 allowed them to improve in many ways. Tomorrow night I'll have a glass of wine, or maybe a bottle, depending on the outcome. I hope to pop that cork of the champagne bottle living rent-free in the garage refrigerator for the past few years.
It’s even worse for those of us who understand polling, the statistics and human psychology that goes into their creation and analysis, and are looking for a small, modicum of truth in 2024. My faith in humanity is at its lowest point in my life. I wish DJT would put me on his retribution team…
You might be surprised what a timely sent resume can do. My sister saw a TV ad for "needing team members for the new Nixon administration". Coming from a staunchly Republican family, she zipped her's in. Ultimately, she retired as Mrs. Nixon's "Advance Lady". Too bad she wouldn't share her stories....! I imagine DJT will be looking for a Few Good Men.
I watched a clip of Kevin O-Leary ripping the polsters today, he was spot on, if they wanted the public to know where the race actually stood they would create polls that actually do the job.
If we vote by secret ballot how on earth can they allow everyone to vote from home, where anyone can watch you, pressure you or pay you while they both pressure and watch you? Are American's so special that nobody here would pressure their spouse and demand to look over their ballot? Nobody would sell a vote, while someone collects the ballots and drops them off?
We are signed onto a number of international treaties which declare the secret ballot to be a "human right". Yet in America we set up a system where the secret ballot is "optional". Of course if it's an option then some people will abuse it, just like they did before we decided to have secret ballots. And regardless of whether or not it changes the outcome, it changes the ability of Some individuals to make the choice themselves, they are primarily the ones with domineering spouses or parents, kids, etc.
Brad, I always wondered if everyone who works in government is told to vote a certain way by their Public Union Officials. Or maybe, the ballots are already filled out by the Government Union and the bureaucrats just sign the ballot at "work" under the watchful eye of a monitor.

Drink slowly! "Experts" have already announced the 'final results' will be 10-12 days away...!

Brian, The couple who ran the nearby B & B were named Pat and Dick. I called them "The Nixons" once. They weren't amused.
Gotta name? I have enough zip for one last 6 month effort…
Frank, Six months? You are supposed to see the doctor if it persists for four hours.
Four hours 15 years ago maybe…

Brad, If we vote by "secret ballot" why do we have to answer polls?
Good question, here's another one.
If we vote by secret ballot how on earth can they allow everyone to vote from home, where anyone can watch you, pressure you or pay you while they both pressure and watch you? Are American's so special that nobody here would pressure their spouse and demand to look over their ballot? Nobody would sell a vote, while someone collects the ballots and drops them off?

Gee whiz! Two weeks to get the election results. I'll try this bullshit next time I file my taxes late with the IRS and Sacramento.
