Connecticut is the same size as Montana ffs.
EV the last couple of days has been heavy in the metro areas and today being the last day, I'd expect it to also be quite substantial. Most still predict a healthy turnout on Election Day bringing the final number north of 11 million with some predicting 12+ million. Completely unprecedented turnout.
Biden Holds Strong Lead as Election Day Approaches | News | Hofstra University, New York
Vice President Joe Biden is holding steady with a double-digit lead over President Trump and has a strong advantage with key demographics that helped

The poll also highlights the stark difference between the voting methods of Biden and Trump supporters. Among likely voters who report having already voted, Biden holds a lead of 41 percentage points. For those who reported not having voted yet, Trump leads Biden by 10 percentage points. Overall, 42 percent of those polled said they had already voted, with 53 percent of Democrats and 40 percent of Independents reporting they’d cast the ballots. By comparison, only 31 percent of Republicans have already voted.
“The difference in voting methods between Biden and Trump supporters gives new meaning to the idea of a ‘swing state’,” said Craig Burnett, associate professor of political science and Kalikow School Poll program director. “Some swing states – like Arizona and Florida – count mail-in votes before Election Day, but others – such as Ohio and Michigan don’t, so what this tells us is that we should expect that early leads may shrink or even flip, and then flip again – depending on the counting process from state-to-state.”
As to the last question, I am not sure what percentage of EV was ED last time but, for perspective, something like 60% of the 2016 vote was ED and a rather large (25-30%) of EV this year is people with no history of voting in either 2018 or 2016. Pretty good bet the ED turnout will be in the millions. Though, to be honest, I wish it were low as that vote is expected to be heavily in Tweetie's favor.
(Edit: EV typed as "t-h-e EV" automatically changes to Everton. Please explain. Is that a faux pas?)

Connecticut should be nearly four times larger than Montana, if you're going by population.

If you’re using an Apple device, I know iOS has some sort of learning AI within their keyboard software. It probably picks up on the capital E, combined with the v right after it, and just assumes that’s where you were going.
Hmm. No. PC at the office. Odd.
Anyway, glad to know I didn't blunder into anything offensive to good Blues.
Depends on the area of the country and national origin of the "Latino" vote. It's not monolithic. Cubans don't vote the same way as Mexicans (by and large) so the "Hispanic" vote in Florida is quite different than in, say, California. That said, the number of Puerto Ricans who have moved to NE Pennsylvania in the last 4 years could very well be a decisive factor in that state.
Also, the GOP has done a very good job of targeting specific Latino voters with "SOCIALISM!!" messages - which seem to have resonated with not only Cubans but also those who have immigrated from Venezuela and the like where government has been dominated by "Socialist" dictators.

Does anyone think Biden can or rather will win? As with these things its easy to think the knobhead will lose, like we did with Boris not so long ago, but the reality once the silent voters vote can often be different

"t-h-e Ev" is a particularly horrific way that some people have of referring to Everton.
I'm hoping @GrandOldTeam have put in something in the back end of the forum that automatically switches any occurrence of it to Everton
(seems like that's exactly what it is, because it's done it here too)
Bravo
None of that nonsense around these parts.
