how difficult can that be, #1.

how is that any different from the proximity you have to the smelly populace at the Shadyside Giant Eagle - who don't social d and after how many months still don't comprehend the directional stickers on the floor at the head of each aisle?

i'd say contact will be way less at the voting booth.
My reasoning was simple for doing the drop off. If we have the same weather next Tuesday as we do today, I'd hate to stand in line. Between social distancing and having to clean off the machines each time, no doubt the line will extend outside the poll. Plus, I'm still avoiding large crowds and I have a feeling it will be SRO next week.

Wow, President Trump was drawing massive crowds in PA yesterday, 10s of thousands at each of the four events, including a jaw dropping 58,000 in Butler.

Don't believe the polling that has Biden way up, the polling companies that were most accurate in 2016 are all saying it's close, and it has been rapidly shifting in President Trump's favor in the last couple of weeks. Everything we can see on the ground supports this, massive Pro-Trump grassroot events popping up all over the country, including in deep blue areas like Beverly Hills CA.

This election is slipping away from Joe Biden at an ever accelerating rate.

i...just...don't know.

i mean, it depends on who you talk to. i've mentioned my hard-core Democrat friend, the one on public assistance (nope, doesnt work, and owns a house his mother paid for in cash). he is SURE Trump is dead in the water.

i've (tried to) explain that its his SOURCE of news that might be giving him a false sense of accomplishment, but he claims he peruses various media, including Fox news.

but then, its the SILENT people who have no reason to protest...

but then AGAIN, all the people who might crawl out from the recesses, who would assumedly vote Democrat...

The data shows not only have "these people" been registering as Republicans in record numbers, including in every swing state, but the data says they are the among the most enthusiastic Trump supporters.

I know it's hard for people to believe because of the constant media bombardment, but almost ever metric favors President Trump going onto reelection.

The Trafalgar Group has good track record, and Big Data Poll only missed calling PA by one tenth of one percent in 2016. Both polling companies are saying it's close, but rapidly shifting to favor President Trump.

I heard the turnouts were huge and saw some video of it. Also saw some videos extremely long lines of traffic on the way to the rallies.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette just endorsed President Trump.

This is the first time the Post has endorsed a Republican in almost 50 years.
