Travis hell of crooked media fame was just tweeting. Yesterday he was very nervous about the poles like we all. Are he signed up for a text bank in Florida tax at a bunch of people got ten.
It Travis true, as gets ten voters, it's better.
He's done on twitter in years. You know
You too, you too can get voters,
me for Travis ten voters. He gets ten voters in a phone back, but he probably loses nine voters per tweet. So
more from a banking illustrating yeah. That's that's right
We will not a news to get too. I do want to start Dan with them. You know the president is continuing. His super spread. Rallies all over the country, just
giving people covered wherever he goes now he's
by giving them hypothermia here,
in Omaha for a rally last night, and
after the rally was over. In thirty degree whether he took his
doktor, he took marine one out of the rally. He
left all of his supporters there who were stranded because a bus took the mare, but the bus wouldn't pick them up to go back to the parking lot were there.
these were, and so there was no Trump campaign bus, and so they all wandered around in freezing, whether for a couple hours and in seven of them
to go to the hospital because they had hypothermia
Well, that's not a fuckin metaphor. I do not know what is trump we
supporters in the call luck. If a cosy doesn't get you, the cold will think about the fact that
in twenty six deem. It was an entire scandal that Hillary Clinton called some of his supporters deplorable. He has given them
covert and hypothermia. That's how much would Donald Trump thinks of his supporters.
There has been sort of a banner day for the Trump campaign like killing your supporters. Never good right.
Trying to kill them. Two different ways and the same event really bad will end,
Kate one of his spokespeople
How can someone went on CNN this morning and they asked,
about whether it made them
for the vice president. You gotTa Wisconsin, because Wisconsin's experience experience serious spike in covered.
Hospitals are nearing capacity, they are so did it makes sense to have a large crowd event. There
His answer was, of course, it made sense the
President has access to the best doctors, just like Doll
from saying like I got covered no big deal, I had access to a lifesaving treatment that none of you can have this. That's that's Donald Trump! Sorry,
think of it. I got better. I got better, I told everyone I thought I was going to die and I was scared shitless. But then I got a man.
treatment that none of you can get you'll be getting it soon enough. Next couple weeks, everything from a couple weeks, but for now just you know, hang out amongst yourselves with israeli no big deal
so that's it the president's doing he's closing strong. He did get some
news earlier in the week Monday night was not great Dan
it was
bad enough that the Senate confirmed eighty Coney bear to the Supreme Court by a vote of fifty two to forty eight, the first time in modern history, a justice was confirmed without a single vote from the majority Party, but then later that day,
the court's right wing majority rule, but all Wisconsin mail in ballots will be thrown out if they arrive
after election day, even if their postmarked before election day. Even worse, was afoot
in breadth, Cavanaugh concurrent opinion, where he argued that states that require mail in balance to be returned by election day quote want to avoid the chaos and suspicions of improper
Eighty that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in
after election day and potentially flip the results of an election, essentially echoing one of Donald Trump, many voter fried conspiracies. That's what bat, bread cabinet,
dead so lot to unpack here. None of it even remotely
right. Let's start with Justice Barrett who was sworn in by Clarence Thomas it. Yet another White House Super Spreader event with Donald Trump, so here
could get a campaign photo up, no masks, of course,
like. The entire stunt was a perfect encapsulation of how trumpet the Republican Party, which includes Amy County, bear. It just have zero fucks left to give. They had
super spreader event.
When they nominated Amy Code, Barrett Bear Trump got covert, bunch of White House staffers got covered
This Christie ended up in the hospital. Donald Trump ended up in the hospital they spread covered throughout DC. She gets confirmed back to the way
for another party? I hate it.
It's not surprising that Donald Trump through that, because he is
bed and his default is always whatever the most dangerous pro
covered thing is he's going to choose and every victims out the obvious.
because in his weird demand,
little brain to not do another. She whispered event would be to admit they covered is contagious.
To admit his faults, we obviously he would rather do people cope with that committee is wrong
the thing it is notable that Amy Coney bear it went to the event participated, not
just in the swearing in, but also in a photo wop hanging off the balcony. Would she very well knew would be parted.
A last minute, trumped campaign, commercial, centrally taxpayer, funded camping, commercial,
and went along with that. She did not have to do the right. It is pretty rare in a preacher.
era for justice is to be is explicitly involved Abbas, particularly one who's going to she left
about to go to work at the court. The next day do therefore rule on cases that have employment.
Since for the Donald Trump reaction and
the fact that she put herself
opposition. Allow that to happen. Did it gleefully? Is a giant warning sign about the kind of justice she will be? It is yet,
Another is that this is not a concern of justice is not
You know in a list. This is another republican political hack put on the court to do
Nothing more than reward republican donors and may show
Party states empowered, that's what it is. It is not the
can sort of this is not
you know some sort of historic discussion about a dispute about legal principles. It's about republican political power and she play that role willingly.
John Roberts is a conservative justice. Anthony Kennedy was a conservative justice. You know once in awhile had I had a good decision.
Any country Barrett bread, Cavanaugh, are partisan, hacks around the corner. That's what they're
I think the generous as a person hack. Can he tell us it. I do not want to say that I want to make this clear I or does it like. John Robertson's decisions are horrific, but they come from
a conservative ideology that we deeply disagree with. It is bad, it is a
bad ideology that is very harmful to people, but it
mostly cohesive its minors. I know you like your where this is not our chamber, but here
John Roberts, it's just a smarter political, hackneyed. Brett covenant right
in two thousand and eight Democrats, washed away Republicans by building a massive internet, grassroots fundraising, machine.
About a year later, the for one of the first decisions that is made by the Roberts court
Is citizens united?
only way to allow the public to compete is to change campaign for animals, overturning a recent precedent and Mcconnell verse, Effie see from a few years ago, then
Democrats win and twenty twelve with a massive turn out of black and
but he no voters. They got John Robber
gets the Voting rights ACT under the false premise that
Racism in elections is over
so like Robert suggest club more clever than the rest of these people. He would not have shown up at that event by. We should be
You're watched on our words very carefully for ruling
that will respond to it by victory in a way to help republican Party power.
I do not like some years just as enough. I know I don't either. I'm just saying I, like I layer, John Roberts Fan admit like is working
It is believed that, like fuckin corporations are people injured like be able to say whatever they want. They believe that there should be voting right protections like that. That is their fucking awful belief. You know
but it is their belief like, like
Haven't is we're about to talk about is on a fuckin revenge trip. That's it break out. As on any fuckin dumb,
Tony Blair. It again doesn't give a shit chilled she's, she's she's a campaign prop, and she is proud to be a campaign prop. That's that's what you
anyway. There all bad
so shortly. After being sworn injustice, bat received a request from the loser in County Board of elections in Pennsylvania. To accuse
from a Supreme Court case where Republicans in Pennsylvania also want
ro male imbalance that arrive after election day. The court order.
rejected the republican request to throw a ballots in a four four tie ruling last Friday, because Roberts World, with the liberal,
but now they hope it if they bring the case again, bear or rule with the conservative majority learn county asked
bear to accuse herself, because Trump publicly said that he needed her on the court to help him when the election is there any justification for bear it not to refuse, or so
in this case no it, but there is no one to make her huge yourself, because Supreme Court justices do not
by any sort of code of ethics, no rules about refusal can do whatever
whatever they want, which is something we should change, but of course she
he's going to sit on hearing of course of this case com, she's, gonNA, Roth, Republicans thing it's like its aid.
this is this? Is why she's there? This is why they rush this because they easily could have done this next week.
where they could have confirmed her afterwards, even when they
still in power with
rushing this in the very deeply dangerous ways they did it because
need they want her. Therefore, those wrongs
and she will gleefully doing gleefully so between these was continent Pennsylvania about cases? There are two big concerns. Most immediate concern is that a bunch of voters won't know about these rulings and therefore mail in their ballots too late, because they thought they had thought of was postmarked by a certain day and it arrived after election day. It would still be ok,
in Wisconsin? Now that is not the case. So what do we do about that? To avoid that the campaigns and state democratic parties are doing everything they can to vote,
I know that if they haven't absentee ballot, they need to personally hand deliver their ballot to either a dropbox or come
Elections office, if you're in Wisconsin or County Elections office, if you're in Pennsylvania super super important
Do not mail in your ballots. At this point, do not tell the people in your life
who have male imbalance, have not sent him? And yet do not
them envy a mail at this point, drop them off. Personally, you can look at votes if America come to find out either. If there's, if you're state has dropped boxes, you can do drop boxes. If there's a colony elections office, you can do that depends on the state, so drop off your balance in person. That's that's number one that but there's a broader concern has to do with his cabinet footnote that I mentioned,
where he endorsed a Bush VIII Gore argument that the Supreme Court can essentially overrule the way state Supreme Court's interpret a states.
Election law, which basically gives the United States Supreme Court Veto power over what
Four states Supreme Court's decide is the right interpretation of election laws. That's what that that's? What break haven't, I think, should happen and, of course, there
also cabinets insane comment that quote:
If the apparent winner the morning after the election ends up losing too late arriving ballots, charges of a rigged elections could explode. So, first of all, what's wrong with what Cavanaugh said and how potentially dangerous is it
I think, it's important to approach this careful
because there are, as there are, the short term implications. A longterm repetitions
We focused too much on the short term applications. We end up doing trumps, dirty work to dissuade people from body to make him think their vote does not
right of course cabinet. Has this view? He
was one of the litigants in Bush, the Gore
although is run claimed the Biden adviser informative
and our friend pointed out in Florida in two thousand
Bright cabin, all among the Bush lawyers argued vociferously for male ballots that were sent by military members serving overseas, be count if they arrive F Election day to count like where he took it here.
A different position, units meeting it is weird. This is like a like. The coincidences here are to fathom by
it is our job. This is what I mean by pure party hack, yes, you're party. How do you mean because
Calvin all believed when he wore for can star there president's could be sued in investigated.
Then, when Bush was presently, he had a different view and
When Obama came, he switch back and then I'm gonna Rob hack a robe. That's what he is. This
is the distillation of republican strategy right
reason that Mcconnell, in particular, with the help of trial,
and millions of dollars in dark money from corporate in republican interests have gone into packing, though sprinkle with republican hacks is.
The Supreme Court has Republican Break glass plan for minority, will read vacant
put inverse freshening but ensuring manner. But if we win elections we can undo those thinks the core,
is the one that is insulated as it currently stands from.
Our agency to change things through, but through normal electoral politics. Of course they
that because Democrat
are have potential. Do we can we?
We can win governor ships in Port State Supreme Court Justices or in states where there are elections liking. North Carolina elect them
because there are more of us than there are them, but the waiter
meant that a way to always happy to put your thumb on this scale. For Republicans, despite the fact robins represent fewer voters, is due Supreme Court can so they're gonna adjust.
their views to make that more likely and easier to do.
Important, I mean Break Haven in this- concur in opinion reveals once again that he is a right wing, partisan hack. He also reveals that he's not super bright, nor are his clerks, like they're all pretty stupid.
because there's a bunch of mistakes in the ruling just factual inaccuracies that any reporter would have to correct any
politician will be held to account for or at least called out about if they made them. He said that a lot of states want to
All the election that night, which is not how it works at all, the media, calls the election or the media makes a projection states, don't actually certify results for days or weeks later, because states always wait for absentee belts to come in overseas. Ballots provision
no ballots. So just you, just the basic knowledge of an election would lead you to not say,
that states want to call the election on election night. That's not what happens. He said that Vermont, never
change their rules to allow voters to mail in ballots when they did. That's not true at all. From
actually sent every one about the chief cause of covert just skipped over that could have. Could a Google that one put it in a fuckin Supreme Court opinion? I mean there's a lot of alarm over this opinion because from a lot of like legal observers, liberal legal observers on twitter and another play
is that you know this is Brett Cavanaugh and soon Amy Coney bear it, setting things up for Donald Trump to steal the selection, because, basically, what they'll say
you know, there's a lot of theories about how they might do this, but it don't trumps has an election eight that he doesn't want balanced account that are
that come in after election day or even balance. The Duke comment on election day, but our counted till the day after election day that suddenly the Supreme Court's going to step in and agree with them like. What do you think about all this concern? The whole supreme court?
factory of the last few days has a specific purpose, which is to convince people that their vote does not count.
Right, that that is what they want. They want you to think they can still be election. Donald
I cannot see how this election we decide
what happens here. Rye bread, Cavenaugh, doesn't decide on trumped assignments, recognizance I'd. There are more p.
in the country and of the battle runs its, you want Joe Biden to be present at the Donald Trump.
And if they turn out and if they are
Their male ballots in in person
drop them off. They do what they are supposed to do here, then the supreme.
We'll play no role here. The only way the Supreme Court
gets to steal. The election is, if we let them down,
We have agency here we have power here. Donald Trump does not, and I think
We know you mentioned that Whistler as well, that we will be talking about this, but like what trump and break.
Haven't I want to do. Is they want to intimidate strike?
should use this to motivate us
You know when the resolve of the furore around the ringing of the of the postal service,
what that actually went to was a huge number of Americans requesting their male ballot early and we use
it was the leverage by Democrats, this podcast other.
to raise awareness about voting
should do the same thing here: right wasted
use this to fire people up to you.
The news coverage of this to inform them about more explicit. Do we can't worry?
about where the Supreme Court's conceal the election, because they won't matter if we vote, we dont folk things can be different, but that
up to us as algebra capital. It's also what we said many times control what you can control and I dont
be pollyanna here or naive, like I don't put literally anything past Donald Trump, the Supreme Court, but when we're
alarmist about it when we're telling it. When we're saying, were things like the Supreme Court's going to steal the election, we have to ask ourselves. What is the goal of saying that? Are we going to change? Are we going to shame Brett Cavanaugh into doing the right thing? No or not we're going to Shame Donald Trump into doing the right thing? No, we're not gonna do that. What can we actually accomplish by that now? Should we make people aware of what's happening? Absolutely sure we let people know what Brett Cabinet is trying to say in this footnote. Yes, for sure, but, like you said, there is a danger in telling people that this thing could just get stolen, like my my little cousin texted me that night on Monday night- and he goes- you know what this this is horrible. The Supreme Court's gonna steal this wire even bother and like that is the kind of that message cannot get out to voters from us that the Supreme Court could do this, because there are a lot of people who pay a lot less attention to the news, and we do and if they casually here, that the Supreme Court, my still the election, they might just stay home
and, like I'm, is worried about the election as anyone, but I do think in this final week. Like you note stays, Abrams says: I'm not pessimistic or optimistic. I determined like we have to show a little determination and not be so cowed all the time. Even if we're like
personally nervous like we have to show some determination, and I also think like I'm, not optimistic or pessimistic, because optimism is guessing what might happen right? I am hopeful because hope is about believing that you can make something happen, and I do think that, like we need to be hopeful in these last five or six days, an end like because that getting people to believe that we can do this, like you said, if we turn out, if enough people turn out, the Supreme Court will not have a say in this. Donald Trump will not have a say in this if we be,
by five or six points in Pennsylvania. It won't matter if you know that we won't get to the point where there is sort of late arriving ballots in litigation all this kind of stuff. You know they'll Donald Trump, threatened litigation, elder bullshit, of course I'll, say crazy things on twitter, but if the margin is big enough will win, and I think we have to go into you see Donald Trump tweeting in these last couple days like a tool,
again up forty five and was counts in the red wave is building right leg. He knows all that's bullshit melick! We shouldn't be lying about how good we feel, but we should be confident and hopeful, and these final days that doesn't mean cocky. That doesn't mean
knowing that we're gonna win, but we should feel hopeful about the amount of people voting and what that can do to the final results. I may wheat. The reason like we do
Why you said we'd like we're not saying that job, I'm gonna win, but it is.
Joe Biden, is winning. He is what
right now and we have to just keep doing what we are doing: keep working our asses off for the next
six days and he will be presented. States, commerce. We vice president, the Democrats
Take the Senate
and then we can certainly in the very hard work
fixing our democracy and undoing all of this shit, the trumpet somebody
right. There in the thing is like we tree so
like trumpets just magical straw man, he is a fucking Yahoo.
right? Yes, he wanted you thousand and sixteen we haven't you.
Seventeen we
them from getting rid of the sba into. Doesn't seventeen we being thousand eighteen? We wonder why should those in writing and we are winning right now? We just have to finish doing that
we take nothing for granted, but we can do it.
It doesn't mean you can't win, but it does mean that we should be confident. We should be hopeful heading in these last couple days. That's
should be and determines positive.

enough time analyzing what actually gets through the media filter to the eyes and ears of voters? So we asked
What stories have you heard about over the last week where you hearing them from and how does it make you feel about each of the candidates
any other reasons I missed about why we thought this was a good idea who,
out the entire pull across? We have tried to make these poles, as in our partnership, a change research.
Look a little bit more like campaign poles than media right, like yeah,
we are curious, even though I presented, I, I didn't care
I ain't. We are curious, whether Donald Trump Card, Joe Biden, is winning right now, like that. That's interesting information

it's what we ve tested, somebody messages to give advice to are listeners about like what what works, when there too

That from but that's what we wanted to see it, because I think it tells us about where the races going, not where it is right at this moment, which will not be relevant one moment from now.
so what so? What do we find? That was most interesting to you. I know you read about this Paul in this morning's message box. I do

people said they were hearing mostly positive, rational. Let me
did the majority of supporters are hearing negative information
other thing, is that it so we asked people got a whole bunch of stories, political stories, international stories for the world, those out. They are pop culture event sports to see what people think initiative and people are dialed into the news like never before.
On nine and ten are following very closely or some are closely to

that is correct. Forty percent of voters who said

bacon, covert cases where fifty percent of all voters go more negative, our trump, including forty, four percent of that small sliver of undecided and third party voters, its
like the short version. This is, as voters are, paying a ton of attention.
and the issues they are paying the most attention to make them feel worse about, so that is not good news for doing so,
talk a little bit about you know? One of the big findings from this pole is that Trump voters, and particularly trump voters, who get most of their news from Fox NEWS, which is, I think, over. Sixty percent of his voters basically live in their own information universe, which we basically already knew, but I,
Think these findings really put a fine point on. So your correct, sixty two percent trump photo say they get most of their news for facts. We give people a model

we may do a lot of information on how to get creepy about
but we have like some basic information on on there
voting behaviour among the most important which elections do they show up for an impasse which are they not fall in our recently? Did they registered about? Are the registered as a democratic Europe? Are the order of the younger? We look at race, ethnicity, things like tat, so it's that she attached Jewel data. It gives us a lot
of of doubt information about who is voting and why is it meaning for it? Is this like someone, who's going
impact the electorate and away that's gonna make it look different than it didn't twenty sixty
or is there someone? We expect it to turn out any. So
You talk a little bit about what
twenty six and twenty eighteen like what? What sort of change?
twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen and how you analyze the early vote. Data and
and how did that actually match up with what happened? I guess in twenty eighteen so that the big
change was focusing on how the electorate will change from the base expectation right. So there, sir!
voters who you know reliably are going to come out in a certain way
We have models, but mostly you just look at the elections. They boy. If you ve, got one presidential election target
the vote on the next winter certainly likely to vote in the mid term elections by twenty eighteen.
go to hear a new registrant and you will or you're someone who's been registered about. Maybe you came out in twenty twelve and you came out two thousand and eighteen the Obama elections, but then you stayed home since then, then you come out in twenty eighteen
Elsa, something about the tracks in and we can
get down at a macro level and say what are younger voters performing at a higher level, which was something you did seem twenty eighty retorted.
in the early vote data younger
he's working on a larger share of the earlier vote and they had in prior elections as well as our first cloaking. Younger brothers are pretty engaged here. We
They're gonna, be a larger share of the electorate and from appalling. We have a pretty good sense that those are motors. We're gonna go to the one plus democratic, so that
the first sign that, while look there's something happening here that could be this blue wave
and so what are some of the most important trends you're seeing in the data right now.
The number one that I'm looking at is just how many people have voted already, who didn't vote in twenty sixty because
if we assume looked the twenty, sixteen electorate is the one that now jumped to the White House electrons.
I'm not popular! Nobody saw
it s house out, electric gonna change are their different. People are gonna, show up who stayed home. You know. A lot of american state only note was a relatively high turnout election tens of millions american imports of the question is: are
participate right now in the early. When I talk about over, don't just
Seventy five million Americans, having only it already.
More than one in four of those early voters didn't vote. Two sixty.
It is certain that the latin you're getting longer were approaching. Twenty million new voters have already.
About now, the Trump campaign
has said from the very beginning that their hope is to turn out a bunch of people who didn't vote and twenty sixteen
particularly non college white voters that maybe trump
type voters live in the same areas as some other trump voters, and they hope that some
These new voters are their voters. What do we know about sort of way
there's a bunch of new voters. But what do we know about the breakdown between Democratic republic? So the thing
ass for now
across the board right. It's not that republic understand home at this point. There are some very because the present in all their eyes, they should have fallen by now and voting really so severely. That Republicans would just be staying home
and that is the other coming out there, just not coming anywhere near to the intensity levels. At democrats have so far
and so what we're seeing when we break them down. Obviously we're looking that you don't have an american turn out, seeing that that is surging. You look at some cheese steaks like Georgia and Texas.
Especially african american seniors? This was a group actually staying home in twenty sixteen to Europe,
most than voted that there's a larger than the timber and taxes and Georgia, more african american seniors have already casting doubt in voted entirely in those states and twenty sixty useless
if they so wish.
see things and in the data to that extent, their point of others are engaged in is reasonable. Does in the more of them, are gonna come on election day right now they just
naturally, that level of engagement that receive a Democrat,
so new voters and then sporadic voters which, as you mentioned, are voters who are registered but have set out a few elections. Do you think the Democrats have an advantage with both sets of voters in battle
on states right now from everything were seen Democrats at a pretty significant advantage to the point where, if these,
France continue over the next six days.
The Republicans are looking at a deficit in these battleground states
literally millions of votes that they'll have to turn out on election day in order to climb out of it. And of course, we
Let people know just so. You get too excited
it's possible that, on election day, Republicans could turn out not only their regular voters but a bunch of new voters and sporadic voters that they had been hoping to turn out that just didn't vote earlier by male right? Absolutely.
Our problems are told me that they said that election
he's gonna look like a Magyar. I
They believe that they're coming out in such huge numbers are legit, there's no reasonably that they walk about. Huge numbers need know their engaged. I think the biggest challenge they asked is
we know that making voting more accessible and more available increases turn you ve seen the states that have gone to go by me on past elections. Cholera, Utah, California, and about the matters Democrats have built up as the image and turn out over
so for five weeks. So when you shocked about,
and you see a line that eight hours long, you can come back the next day or even
the problem with your job, your child care, even back the next to her the next day, revolt
you're, putting all their eggs in the basque enough. That's all
on this one day and if something goes wrong, there's not at that
I think that's the biggest challenge for them.
What are you? What are you saying from young voters, this camera
so young borders are turning out, obviously in larger numbers overall, but you know again, we pass thoroughly vote number from twenty sixteen about a week ago and we're not thirty million votes past it so Enron, numbers, obviously to turn our numbers, but even in the share of the electorate. I think that's the most interesting thing is day or account.
for a larger share of the early about now than they did it the same point in time in twenty sixteen,
XO. Certainly, at first in Cardiff and younger voters do tend to go a little bit later in all their voters, basically the way their early but usually goes. It starts older and wider and then a gradual.
Gets younger and more diverse, and we definitely seen that we're just in the last four or five days they you thought is really beginning to pick up and
two groups of voters the Democrats have had some concerns about just from the polling, are sort of young black voter
young latino voters, and specifically young black and latino men.
seeing any trends with those groups of voters,
early vote data, so
as you know, especially away with her black men had twenty, sixteen are a number of them just involve that. I think a group that chopped off more than any groups my sittings by one of the biggest deficiencies with that we began this
the encouraging signs among the younger black and latino voters. I think there's still a ways to go, see those numbers get to exactly where they need to be
over the last several days. Those numbers have become so you
in that will have a rough sense by next Tuesday, of just how deep of a whole Trumbull have to dig.
Self out of an election day will be able to place that, in the context of the remaining non voting electorate, what data
gonna be looking out as results come in to see if Trump has been able to dig himself out of that whole, I didn't
the big sort of,
to state the obvious, like the coalition, for him is Non College, educated, wife, voters, pneumonia,
Look at these numbers nationally gamble. Look look at state by state. Israel encapsulates it to me.
you can bear the number of college educated white voters are group that are doing much better for Vice President Biden, and you can
and out of the total number of the voluntary, sixteen were right now about. Fifteen million votes behind, which sounds like a lot of really isn't when you think of the trajectory of thoroughly about an election gave up
not cause, why voters are about forty five million votes behind so
thirty Nellie about gap which is significant. So that's a number
it will be looking out, it's just that turn out in those areas and some of those counties we think about the Florida Panhandle. Some of them
the world wide or areas of Georgia, some of these states that could be decisive and also count really. Those are the ones that wording be watch. Our action.
The other thing that I've been trying to figure out. Looking at all this data is so you see in the early vote numbers. You know. Democrats have a red party registration advantage in a lot of these states over Republicans, but then, when you look at poles
of people who say they ve already voted, binds advantage over Trump is much larger than the party registration advantage, that you're seeing commodities states and to me
that says that you know it from its. What we see in the polling, all along, which is binds doing better
independence, that Hillary Clinton and not affiliated voters and he's all
pulling more republicans from Tromp than Hilary Day
Are you saying that, in the data that your modelling and early, but so that's the real,
we're gonna get. What we see is whether or not people voted on how we evaluate sounds like an obvious. Gotta bet you'd be surprised. We talk about these things that people will die of. You know how we vote. We don't know that.
we can look at the general partisanship. What's your point,
Dont see this means, we don't know enough is: is binding, whinnying sixty percent
independent, sorely splitting is losing them
shut up and listen to me, I mean garrisons among the ended up who their independence, our who were voting, and do they look more like our voters. We Diana sense. Oh yeah, that's that's the Big
question four legs united. How are these groups when I will say the reason I feel more comfortable with the analysis of what looking at now, I feel more optimistic about next Tuesday. He is
ass, he sat upon, has shown that the vice president is doing better than we have in the past with the lobby groups on ITALY, those independent boaters. Why college etiquette
There is now even white. Non college educated voter seniors
I mean you search. I talked about with a decent these new one for voters dimpled. Sixteen a lot of them are over the age of sixty five
You don't think about turn out targets, but there's almost five million voters old age, sixty five and eleven. Sixteen who voted
already in this election, and so you know there's reasonably
don't let him those waters to write.
Any other outstanding questions that you're really eager to understand, as the as the vote continues to come in
You know that the big question is republic have been talking about. We ve been registering more voters and there's no some evidence during the pin during the least early days, the pandemic. We know that communities of color locker
and other areas, and we saw that the registration data, so I'm interested to see how these
republican registrants. What right they're coming out- and we know that traditionally registering you up at a higher rate and religious. Looking at that Republican turn out a raw and you'll have a better picture of that
probably as we get like Tuesday morning, you'll, probably know more about what's left in the electorate for than we do right now, right,
that's right, we'll start over the weekend and then will dig into that coming into two stages to look up what's left and just how play
Above all, we want the other projector raised, even in the middle of day to day whereby- and I'm not gonna make that mistake again any out. I decided I less prognostication. None of us are no analysis right, yeah
What will get a sense of how the hell is that that rebellions laughed, the kind that is clear, it is gonna, be all that they're gonna, be fine, and on watching that everything is put out an historical context inside
you know how many nonviolence new voters new registrants will they need to get out in order to get there and will see out, however,
It is the only at the only good news we can save confidences people. Are
