That is a very interesting disruption tactic! Are those votes just gone now or do election officials try to resend ballots out to voters? It doesn't really matter for the national election but one vote drop box could easily change the local races.
It looks like they're asking voters to pick up new ballots. Might be a way to cheat there?

In the past I can understand, but no Fing way could I imagine my wife voting Dem. Granted, I would have to allow her to vote, but still

I've been checking the betting odds every other day for the last few weeks. As people are aware they have been steadily going in trumps direction. However as of a couple minutes ago when I just checked trump is now paying $1.45 to kamala's $2.70.
This is Australia. So for Americans that means trump is paying -$2.65.
That's huge. For the last week or so he was hovering around the $1.57 area.
$ 1.50 was like the glass ceiling in my mind he had to break.
I definitely don't trust polls and I'm even sceptical of the betting markets.
There's just a public perception they need to maintain.
If they say it's a tie in the national polls then trumps probably ahead by at least 5 points. They could never ever, ever let that data out though. Those kind of polls can actually influence people's opinions.
They have to keep an illusion going.
I'm not going to keep rambling but trust me they do.
