    Matt is right, these people get off theory crafting about this scenario, they lust for catharsis from the current normal.

    I mean Nate is a dork ass, but he's right here--the Republicans usually steal when there's a coin toss. They don't manage to do that when there's a wider margin.

      They don't typically need to cheat this hard to stay afloat.

      Reagan just put his name on the ballot in 1984, smiled into the camera, called AIDS the gay butt disease and farted in the direction of Communism, then won 49 states.

      Now Republicans have to actually round up a tenth of Florida and jail them to keep a swing state in play.

        It's why I don't think November is going to be the shitshow that it's predicted to be. There's already enough Democrats doing early voting to where I think mailed ballots won't be an issue. The margins predicted for Biden look to be comfortable enough to where there's no Bush v. Gore less than 1% shit like there was in 2016. I mean, who knows, maybe Trump won't leave office, but I think this is all a lot of worrying over several unlikely events lining up at once.
