Even 350 is a real stretch. To surpass 360, you’d need Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Virginia. It would be just as probable for me to predict Biden wins Texas as Trump carrying all of those. Bravado aside, it will be hard for either side to top 330.

Yes. Indeed it is strange. 50 Million Americans voted by mail-in ballot in 2016 and suddenly this is a problem?

Do tell us another one. I like fantasies.

Also want to add that people can vote up to 45 days early in some states, that seems a bit to soon for me but whatever. What I am definitely not ok with (besides lets send a ballot to everyone, perfectly ok with an absentee ballot with a valid reason) is accepting ballots up to seven days post election as long as they are postmarked NLT the date of the election. That is insane, they had 45 days to vote in person up to and including election day and at a minimum in every state that is doing ballots for all, 24 days (last I heard). 24 days to fill out your ballot and drop in the mailbox. That is complete and udder BS!
You have been misled by Trump that mail in voting is something new. 100% mail in voting has been in place for over 10 years in 9 states that do it. Trump acts like this is something 100% mail in voting.

Here in Arizona, and most of the states out west you don't need a "Valid reason" to vote by mail. 80% of Arizona voters have voted early by mail for over 2 decades. Voting starts 27 days before the election.

IMO polling places should be done away with completely 100% mail in voting should be the standard.

Above 330 probably not likely. But Trump would get to 356 if he simply wins everything from last time + the 7 close states he lost-MN, NH, ME, VA, NM, NV, CO. To get over 360 he would need one more-Oregon, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut or Illinois.

If you have been following the news for that state law and order is not a theme that appeals to them
