    United States US presidential election 2024

    "Get out TO vote" is a totally different phrase, though. This is "get out THE vote" (collective noun, implying "voters") Now that Buba mentions it, it does seem to me that if I were to construct the phrase from scratch with no historical precedent I'd probably say "get the vote out", but both...

    United States US presidential election 2024

    GOTV = Get Out The Vote If you're wondering, I meant getting out legitimate votes, regardless of whether you think they would stop there. GOTV activities traditionally include phone banking, door knocking, "Souls to the Polls" transportation, etc.

    United States US presidential election 2024

    As far as I know, there is worry that young voters (esp. college students) will be too angry at Biden's actions and/or inaction to participate in GOTV activities and this will depress turnout in a demographic that is normally extremely lopsided in favor of Dems. I am not aware of worry that the...

    United States US presidential election 2024

    I haven't viewed the source material, which will be released May 7th, but per an AP article: "In her soon-to-be-released book, "No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward," of which The Guardian obtained a pre-release copy, Noem writes that she took...

    United States US presidential election 2024

    I looked into this a bit. The total for Texas is close to 24 million. That's obviously absurd for new voters, but I found information that says that, rather than tracking registration, HAVV is a service that state DMVs throw their info at to see if the SSA can verify it as a person. That would...

    Is the presidential election campaign a total war? :unsure:

    United States US presidential election 2024

    I'm not saying civilians would die the moment you took the gun out of their hand, I'm saying that "gun and ammo factories" are not exclusively military targets if oil refineries aren't, because they are both dual purpose. I'll give you the tank factories, though that still raises the question of...

    Civilians use guns and ammo, haven't you heard? I have it on good authority that they like jeeps too.

    What the fuck are you talking about. Everyone in the west tells Russia to stop, all the time. It doesn't matter because Russia doesn't care: it isn't getting its war material from the west.

    United States US presidential election 2024

    If the number used to be 70%, that would count as a shifting tide. Also it may vary from state to state. How does it say Nevada is looking specifically?

    Voter registration is public info, right? Is it possible to check those SSNs against those SSNs' legal status?

    United States US presidential election 2024

    The amount of violence may be overblown but to say the crowd didn't use violence or that said violence isn't directly responsible for the delay of the count is just ignorant. I'm sorry but there's no real sugercoating it. Those guys who broke through that window to access the building certainly...

    United States US presidential election 2024

    Well, from what I understand (and maybe I've misheard) their argument is that trying to prevent (which failed) or even delay (which succeeded) the counting of the electoral votes through violence amounts to insurrection. So they wouldn't need to hold off the army or force Congress to draft an...

    Many campaign promises implicitly assume control of Congress as well as the presidency. Occasionally they will mention that the whole package is needed.

    United States US presidential election 2024

    Not that I know of but then again I don't particularly keep my ear to the ground on that topic. I definitely hadn't heard Moore's name in that context either. Little to none for Shapiro or Pritzker. On the other hand, the speculation around Newsom seems inescapable and Whitmer is a fairly common...

    If you've worked your way down to MD's Moore, I'm curious what you think of MN's Walz in that context. (WI's Evers is too old. Not as old as Biden but people are going to be tired of oldsters by 2028 no matter who wins this year.)

    Let's say it happens. How long are you gonna wait to cash in on that laugh? (Mid-November, 2040. Another election has met the criteria. 49ersfootball turns away from the screen and says to himself, "It is time.")

    United States US presidential election 2024

    No problem, just nitpicking for accuracy. I agree with you on Harris but I'm sure Biden has a death grip on the big chair. He wasn't talked into stepping aside for the primary and he's not going to step aside for his understudy. If he has one brain cell left it's going to be devoted to the cause...

    You can't get more than ten. If you serve more than two years of your predecessor's term, you only get to have one more.
