    - Not having him in charge of the postal system is a gigantic win on that front. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 08:19

  - There are some messaging things to work on, but it wasn't for lack of enthusiasm. - Reagen Nov 6, 08:03 2
    - Biden is not an exciting choice. Had they nominated a rockstar (there wasn't one to choose from) the turn out would have been higher - Mel Profit Nov 6, 08:08
    - Not just rallies. Knocking on doors. I do think his ground game and micro-targeting was really impressive. Dems were hurt on this point by COVID, - pmb Nov 6, 08:06

If you're wondering, like me, what are the actual odds of SCOTUS throwing out enough votes to re-elect Trump, SCOTUS blog says "no way." -- (link) - mara Nov 6, 07:51 7
- Just to be clear, I don't think they're saying what you're saying. I think they're responding to Trump's claim that the SC needs to step in and - pmb Nov 6, 08:05 4
  - I don't understand your distinction. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 08:18 1

  - but doesn't it have to come from a state case before it hits the Supremes? -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 08:14 1
    - There was a state case and it went to the SC. The SC basically said "segregate the ballots at issue, and if it's relevant we'll take another look". - pmb Nov 6, 08:19
- It's Trump's stupidity ... he thinks that's what happened in 2000 but the legal issues were quite different and mostly "legitimate". - rollo Nov 6, 07:59 1
  - oh, and much like with COVID, this is a "spin proof" situation. Say what you want to say Donald, but here facts matter. -- nm - rollo Nov 6, 08:01
Crash claims last place. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 07:46 6
