how would this impact the lever-monkeys that pull R more than the lever-monkeys that pull D?
D lever-monkeys are pushing to get their votes in now.

R lever-monkeys are mostly waiting till election day.

If a yuge, media-exagerated outbreak shuts things down to the point where each voting area can only hold 10% of normal capacity, it would create yuge waits. Couple that with the leaked results from D lever-monkeys having giant early-vote turnouts, many R lever-monkeys might just say "fuck it" on election day.

The crazy push for early vote is odd. They are up to something.

The GOP have an ace up their sleeve with this Russia hoax bullshit that fueled the impeachment. Just like 2016 and the emails, they are releasing a little bit at a time. I'm sure they are leading up to a grand finale.

Politics is such a game.

How is it odd given what we've seen in the primaries of polling locations closing, broken machines, etc.? It's the right thing to do in the current corrupt and disgusting election environment, and Republicans should be trying to get their votes in asap too. If they're not worried maybe it's because they haven't been victims of the voter suppression attempts as much this particular year.

Democrats get it from both sides, since their own party engineers the voting internally with primaries, and then they have to deal with the other side making sure certain specific areas have fewer locations, require travel, etc.

We saw the test of that in the primaries too - remember the people who had to travel and then had the doors closed on them when they were waiting in line? And they had to get a judge to order the doors open again? The whole thing was BS.

Good for people for prioritizing doing what they can to make sure their vote counts for as much as it can. We are so close to being one of those shithole countries with fake elections for their beloved dictator. That's not a knock on Trump but on everything going on with our election process on all sides right now and for the last several years.

Gonna have to check that out. Just odd to me my Democrat friends have received and already voted while me a registered Republican hasn’t received anything yet
Not that it would make you feel any better, but I'm a registered Democrat in my county and have lived here and voted here since 2008. In one of the elections in the last few years (I can't remember which, maybe presidential idk - I posted about it at the time) I walked into the same place I had voted before and was dropped from the rolls. Every year they had me in the book with my address and a place for me to sign, and suddenly I was no longer in the book. I had to fill out some kind of special ballot with an affidavit or something that went into an envelope and who knows if it was ever seen again?

So hard to tell the difference between malice and incompetence. You've lived in the same place for several years, right? So you can't help but think malice when somehow you get left out. I felt the same way.

All good points. My post was largely sarcastic.
Regardless of who the folks are voting for, I'm always happy to see an engaged society exercising their right to vote.

Tons of disinformation coming from the media from both sides - which is sad. Hopefully people can see through the media-created fog and make a choice for who they think is best suited to run the country.

On the flip side - my wife and I are both registered Republicans.

She voted Trump in 2016. I did not.

She got an early vote letter this year. I did not.

Let's not go down this road.
Broadway Joe is the most overrated QB in the HOF.
I knew he was bad. Not just bad for the HOF but bad overall. I just looked and homeboy only had 2 seasons where he had more TDs than INTs in his 12 year career.

Yeah. People will say he was an elite passer for his time, but you can compare him to Ken Anderson (a largely overlooked QB not in the HOF) from 1971 to 1977 when they were both in the league

During those years and those years alone...

Anderson 99 TDs, 69 INT, 56.8% completion, 7.3 Y/A

Namath 71 TDs, 104 INT, 50% completion. 7.1 Y/A

One is revered as one of the best because he was in NY and he guaranteed a SB win where he had 206 yards and 0 TDs.

One is an afterthought.

Power of the NY media is strong

Pelosi apparently went off on CNN's Blitzer - calling him a Republican apologist.

LMAO. This chick is nuts!

If you listen to the interview she revealed why she is stonewalling the stimulus. She doesn't want voters getting a check signed by Trump right before the election.

Purely political.
