Generally speaking the more people that vote the worse it tends to be for an incumbant too. Its usually a bad sign.

I can't attest for the underlying source, but if the claim is true, Wisconsin could indeed go for Trump again.

Holy fuck, you just don't stop with your hate do you?  You're the one cheering the virus on, you're the one who said you hope Trump dies from it.  Are you really this unaware or are you the troll many have accused you of being?  Who the fuck is telling people the virus is the greatest threat to their safety despite nearly 4/5 deaths being in nursing homes and the rest being people on average of 70+ with multiple co-morbidities.  I know someone who is worried a cop will blow away their infant son for being black isn't someone who should be taken seriously, but jesus christ.

Fauci said there's no reason people can't vote in person.  Wear the fucking mask and you'll be fine.

I believe it. It wasn't until Trump came along that this anti-early vote attitude emerged. The GOP has had the upper hand in early/absentee ballots for a long time. I've been trying to track down a story I read a couple months ago, but I can't find it. It was from Wisconsin, and talked about how many in the GOP there were worried about Trump's constant attacks on mail-in voting would suppress his own vote. I'll keep searching.

What's missing from that graphic above is the independent or no party affiliation. That is going toward the Dems, but isn't there.

Unless I'm misreading it, 22% are independent.  I'd have to know the demographics of that group to have an educated guess on which way they're breaking.  I still think Biden is going to sweep the Blue Wall and think it was a fluke Trump took them in 16.  But maybe blue collar states are recognizing that the Democratic party abandoned them after Clinton in the 90s.  You have to acknowledge that Pelosi and the squad aren't representative of the blue collar members that once were the entirety of the party.  Used to be Republicans were portrayed as the elitists, but it's not GOP members dining with A Listers.

Oh shit, I totally overlooked that gray bar. That's bad graphic design. It should be yellow or green.

  Are you really this unaware or are you the troll many have accused you of being?

You're the only one who has ever accused me of that...you and maybe Rocky...how is Rocky anyway?

I know someone who is worried a cop will blow away their infant son for being black isn't someone who should be taken seriously, but jesus christ.

Is that something you're excited about? And you call me hateful...

If that's the case then why is Trump so against it? Oh...he's for it when he knows it's his supporters doing it...but if you vote against him you're clearly committing voter fraud. Anyone who doesn't vote for Trump is committing voter fraud...

Wake up and smell the coffee Sally...

Oh really? What has the FAR right GOP done for workers other than exploit them like everyone else? Labor is disposable garbage in this country and their vote clearly doesn't count for much...

Love that name.  Always important to verify shit like this before accepting it as true.

Yep, it was bullshit:
