Last time I ran the #s I had him around 300....PA is still the key in my opinion....with the swing states there are so many unknowns its almost impossible...but she pretty much has to sweep the rust belt to win....so I think I would rather have his path than hers....I don't see him losing ga/nc/AZ unless there is a fraud problem...he does seem to have momentum...but what do I know I'm garbage redneck deplorable gun toting Bible thumping hillbillyI've got Trump at 266.
Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see anyway to overcome the fraud apparatus the left has in place. Of course not even a peep out of congress as they are more than likely in on it. How else did millions of illegals get flown in here from around the world on our dime and no-one said a word about it in DC.

Now that we are in the closing days of the 2024 presidential race, pollsters have started releasing their final readings of the campaign. They have mostly been a mixed bag. On Friday, Marist College released their highly-anticipated final polls across the Midwestern states, finding Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of former President Donald Trump by 3 points in Michigan, 2 points in Pennsylvania and 2 points in Wisconsin. That would be good news for Harris if those were the only polls released this week, but they weren’t: An Echelon Insights survey found Trump up 5 points in the Keystone State, and CNN/SSRS has the former president up by 1 in Georgia. In aggregate, this has been enough to push our model modestly back in Harris’s direction. Currently, our forecast gives Trump a 51 out of 100 chance of winning the election, and gives Harris a 49 out of 100 chance.

🗳 Kamala Harris has not yet fully understood what her election program is, a Russian expert says
Meanwhile, Republican candidate Donald Trump knows what he stands for, and this is his main advantage, Dmitry Suslov, a senior researcher at the Russian School of Advanced Studies in Economics told Sputnik.
In addition, the Democratic Party candidate virtually ystays away from interviews because she has nothing to say, and is unable to hold a free dialogue, noted Suslov, who is a deputy director of the Center for European and International Studies at this educational institution.
She cannot explain why the failures and mistakes of Joe Biden's administration should not be hers too, he added.

I wonder how accurate this stuff is? ...

Heavy criticism has been levied at polls in recent years, particularly in the last few rounds of presidential elections. Even in 2020, when most polls correctly predicted Biden's victory, the "national surveys of the 2020 presidential contest were the least accurate in 40 years," Politico said.
Does this mean that polls just aren't accurate? Not always, but they can present a different picture than reality. This is largely because "the real margin of error is often about double the one reported," Pew said. Many polls typically have a margin of error less than 3%, which "leads people to think that polls are more precise than they really are." But this margin "addresses only one source of potential error: the fact that random samples are likely to differ a little from the population just by chance."
There are at least three other identifiable sources of data errors that can come from poll taking, Pew added, but most polls don't calculate these metrics into their margins of error. The differing approaches in how polls are taken can also have "consequences for data quality, as well as accuracy in elections." As a result, the actual margin of error in most historical polls is closer to 6% or 7%, not 3%, said a 2016 study from The New York Times. This represents an error range of 12 to 14 data points, the Times said.

I’m voting for Nobody. Because Nobody cares.More:
How accurate are political polls?
And how much should you read into figures ahead of the 2024 election?theweek.com
I have wondered if in this age of high tech surveillance, scams and social media blowback if the sampling of people less inclined to share their political opinions/thoughts with pollsters might be skewing results. I know that I'm not sharing any information with someone at the other end of a random phone call.
What does their state law allow? In Ca you aren't even allowed to show an ID to vote.
People can try to do anything. Whether or not it is legal or acceptable to the masses (ie. if they can succeed) is a different question. I honestly don't expect much wrangling over the election results from either side unless there is convincing evidence of shenanigans that significantly impacted the result.Say Trump/Vance win. Can the Dems refuse to certify the election result?
and we all know he never did...Say Trump/Vance win. Can the Dems refuse to certify the election result?
The time to play that card would be before the election.and we all know he never did...
14th Amendement
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
they could do it after Trump wins.The time to play that card would be before the election.
