Good grief, this is awful if true

and Gideon leads Collins by about 10 points in Maine
and Hickenlooper leads Gardiner by something like 18 points in Colorado.
If the dems pick up seats in Colorado, Maine, and Arizona and lose Alabama, the Senate is 50/50 with the VP having the deciding vote.
Christ, come on Biden, don't mess this up.

Sadly its a non-story in PA and even the left leaning newspapers are treating it as a Rep-Dem partisan spat.
This is insane live coverage of the 3rd precinct in Minneapolis which has been taken by protestors
Do you think maybe it's time we start looking at that party and calling it domestic terrorism? Willfully risking colleagues and their families lives on purpose, preventing healthcare for millions so rich can get richer, armed man children storming state capitals, the fn president supporting insurrection against states...
Incredible headline from the Hill here. Apparently German Jews have never had it so bad
Democrats requested Pennsylvania mail ballots at higher rates than Republicans in every county
Nearly 18 times as many Pennsylvanians have requested mail ballots this year as in the 2016 primary, fueled by both a change in election law that allows anyone to vote by mail and a pandemic that makes it riskier to vote in person.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said Thursday that she expects a majority of votes to be cast by mail in Tuesday’s election, a massive jump from the 5% absentee rate of past elections. About 1.9 million Pennsylvanians have requested mail ballots this year, compared with 107,000 in 2016.
And those ballots are being sent mostly to Democrats and older voters, a review of data on state mail-ballot requests show. Here’s what we found when we looked at where those requests are coming from and what, if anything, it can tell us about voter behavior.
Democrats are clearly fueling the surge in mail ballots, requesting nearly 2.5 times as many ballots as Republicans.
It’s unclear why, but there are a few likely factors, including a partisan divide over vote-by-mail, a noncompetitive Republican presidential primary, and a growing partisan split over how seriously to treat the pandemic.
