(#6465) 20 days until election results...will trump survive?

      More than 5.5 million early votes are in their states counting queues. More than half those ballots are from democrats. With the other less than half split between republicans and independents, the likelihood that at least 60 plus percent voted for democratic candidates is logical. I dare say the number is closer to 70 than 60. However this 5.5 million is just a sample size, not the whole of what will likely be for sure the most participated in midterm election in our history. Likely greater participation than in some previous presidential elections. That is just how important this election is to not only me but to everyone who is being affected by trump policies and the harms they create to we the working middle poor class.
     Early voting is expected to be more than 50% or more of the vote this year. Last year about 85 million voters cast ballots before election day in 2024. My hope is that more than 100 million will early vote this year. It is a lot I expect but not given the extreme circumstances so many of us are facing. We the many cannot afford to take time off work to vote as each of our jobs is precious at the moment. So early voting when it is convenient for us is smart and effective. We also are facing possible obstruction tactics from trump and his republican goon squad of insurrectionist types, masquerading as ice agents at the voting locations. Finding safe and easily accessible voting options is now a priority with many voters. Early voting is a great opportunity for that.
     The highest priority we voters have is to get our votes to our county clerks who can keep our votes safe until they are ready to be added to our national totals. Getting those ballots in early keeps our process of choosing our elected officials much more secure. We all know that the desperation coming from trump will amplify the closer we get to November 3rd. The best way to offset any malfeasance or deception from trump is to safeguard our vote by returning it early. The early vote is our best weapon in an all out struggle against trump. He is not going to play fair and let things happen as they should. He will instead devise his tactics around manipulating our ability to vote as each day goes on. Stop him by voting early!
