October 30, 20241 yr https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-could-break-32-year-record-texas-survey-suggests-1977255 Quote amala Harris is on track to secure the Democratic Party's best presidential election performance in Texas since 1992 according to preliminary data from the Cooperate Election Study, a major new survey fielded by YouGov. In Texas the poll gave Donald Trump a four-point lead, with 51 percent of the vote from likely voters against 47 percent for Harris. If this transpires on November 5 it would be the closest fought contest in the state since 1992, when Republican George H.W. Bush won the state against Democrat Bill Clinton with 40.6 percent of the vote to 37.1 percent, though he lost the election overall. The Democrats have improved their performance in the last two presidential elections in Texas. Barack Obama lost the state by 15.8 points in 2012, but this fell to nine percent with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and just 5.6 percent for Joe Biden in 2020. As a result some Democrats have suggested they could flip Texas, with former gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke describing it as "the sleeper battleground state" during a recent interview. In 2008 Obama lost Texas by 11.8 percentage points, down from the 22.9 point defeat Democratic candidate John Kerry suffered in 2004. In 2000 Democrat Al Gore lost the seat by 21.3 points, as did Bill Clinton in 1996 by 4.9 points. The last time a Democratic presidential candidate won Texas was in 1976, when Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford by a 3.2 point margin. The Cooperate Election Study releases a major survey on America's voting intentions before every presidential election. This year, working with YouGov, they polled 78,247 American adults, including 6,473 in Texas and 48,732 likely voters, between October 1 and 25. In Texas the poll found Trump led by 21 points with voters aged 60 and over and by nine point with voters aged 40-59. However Harris enjoyed a 19 point lead among voters aged between 18 and 39.

So 2032. Once that happens, who knows? Republicans will have to completely recalibrate how they approach pretty much everything.

They are nothing more than pro statehood lobbyists with fat government salaries and perversely glorified titles. Like I said, she's a nobody and even a political junkie like myself forgot she and her position existed. Not wrong. Same can be said of most bureaucrats in DC.

October 30, 20241 yr The attempted steal is on https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/29/four-pennsylvania-counties-investigate-suspected-large-vote-harvesting-operation/ Four Pennsylvania Counties Investigate Suspected Large Vote-Harvesting Operation By: Beth Brelje October 29, 2024 Election workers noticed some Voter Registration and ballot requests in large dumps had the same handwriting, many shared the same date, and some had other anomalies. * * * At least four Pennsylvania county election offices — Lancaster, York, Monroe, and Cambria — are setting aside suspicious and possibly fraudulent voter registration and mail-in ballot requests. When Lancaster County Commissioners announced Friday they had received a load of potentially fraudulent voter registration requests, they mentioned two other counties had similar, ongoing investigations. Instead of naming them, Lancaster officials said they would let individual counties identify themselves. In Lancaster, officials say, some 2,500 voter registration requests arrived last week in two large batches. Election workers noticed some had the same handwriting, many shared the same date, and some had other anomalies, officials said. The county investigated and found 60 percent were confirmed as "fraudulent,” according to Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams. She said Lancaster County officials suspect the fraudulent applications are part of a "large-scale” operation that has been underway since June. It is not yet known who was behind the large batches of voting requests, officials said.
