Prediction - US Presidential 2024

[Sid Belzberg]

It's not insane. The DOJ has no problem with states trying to systematically purge their voter rolls of ineligible voters so long as, in accordance with federal law, the purge doesn't occur within 90 days of a federal election. Virginia, for example, had from and including November 2020 to and including early August 2024 to bring their rolls up to date. What is their motive for wanting to contravene a federal law that has been in effect for over 30 years? The following was copied from a DOJ press release dated October 11.

************************************
"The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the State of Virginia, Virginia State Board of Elections and Virginia Commissioner of Elections to challenge a systematic state program aimed at removing voters from its election rolls too close to the Nov. 5 general election in violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
Section 8(c)(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision, requires states to complete systematic programs aimed at removing the names of ineligible voters from voter registration lists no later than 90 days before federal elections. The Quiet Period Provision applies to certain systematic programs carried out by states that are aimed at striking names from voter registration lists based on a perceived failure to meet initial eligibility requirements — including citizenship — at the time of registration."

Sounds like more bullshit from the same DOJ that procescuted the Russia Hoax of electiopn interference case in 2016, can you say "fake Steele Dosier" bought and paid for by Hillary Clinon's capmpaign. Twenty-five states say otherwise, Peter! The constitution clearly states that only US citizens can vote ....DUH

I didn't say or imply that people who are ineligible to vote should be allowed to vote. I didn't say or imply that states should not be allowed to clean up their voter rolls. I simply pointed out that Virginia is allegedly in violation of a federal law. Were you up past your bedtime last night, Sid? A little cranky this morning? ...... DUH

Yeh, you clearly said, "It is not insane," then used DOJ bullshit to rationalize your statement.

[Vlad Drkulec]

How insane is it that the Biden-Harris Administration is suing states to KEEP non-citizens on their voter rolls?

It is pretty insane and has been stopped by the Supreme Court according to reports.

One wonders why the Justice Department would choose this hill to die on. They probably realize that a Trump win will mean that they will be accountable for the excesses of the last few years.

Virginia and other states that disagree with provisions of The National Voter Registration Act of 1993, have had, obviously, decades in which to lobby Washington for amendments. Apparently that didn't happen and now Virginia has allegedly decided to violate that law and the DOJ has decided to do their job. And that's some kind of conspiracy theory to you, Sid?
I hope the following comment, taken as a generalization, doesn't apply to you:

".... one appeal of conspiracy theories is that they absolve their believers of accountability, replacing the difficult obligation to build relationships with the easy urge to destroy."

"DOJ, doing their job." When I last checked, the Constitution trumped all other laws (pun intended). The Supreme Court has taken on the case and, for now, is not allowing non-US citizens to vote. That, my friend, is a "conspiracy" fact. The DOJ gets their asses handed back to them that they rightfully deserve.

DOJ Sent Packing By The SCOTUS With Their Unconstitutional Bullshit

Your wish has been granted.

Limited range of predictions for 2024 U.S. Presidential race:

1) Democratic Party wins the national popular vote, as it has in all but one election since 1992 inclusive (2004);
2) Democratic vote total national margin will be less than it was in 2020, which was about 7 million;
3) Fewer total ballots cast than in 2020 (that was more than 158 million, an all-time record);
4) Winning candidate earns fewer total votes than Joe Biden did in 2020 (more than 81 million, an all-time record);
5) Total minor party voting totals (those other than Democratic and Republican) will eclipse the candidate's winning margin in at least one of the 51 electoral college regions (50 states plus District of Columbia), with the most likely being Michigan and Wisconsin;
6) Losing major party candidate will poll fewer votes than Donald Trump did in 2020 (more than 74 million, also an all-time record for a losing candidate).

Democrats murdered Peanut the squirrel to protect him. They are prosecuting Daniel Penny. They attacked someone in Bath, New York for wearing a MAGA hat. Who is dumb enough to think that the Democrats are interested in preserving democracy.

I can't wait for this election to be over.

I don't recall your indignation at the Charlottesville 'radical' that drove into a crowd, killing a young woman. Why is that? Now a squirrel is hitting the outrage news cycle and this is piquing you?. Can a squirrel be murdered?
Acting erratically on a subway shouldn't be a death sentence. He's charged with negligent homicide, which it was.
Wearing branded political wear a while voting in person is not legal. What's the confusion?

The Charlottesville incident was horrific, and the driver, James Alex Fields Jr., was not just a "radical" but identified as having white supremacist views. His actions were condemned widely across the political spectrum, including by then-President Trump, who, despite his comments about "both sides," also explicitly condemned white supremacists and Nazis immediately after the "fine people both sides" comment that referred to those arguing whether or not the confederate era statue remained in place, but that video of the news conference was conveniently cut short to make Trump appear as a racist supporting Nazi.
I can assure you there are many things I vehemently disagree with former President Trump on, but this is not one of them that was an unjustified political smear.

LOL I can't wait for MAGA to be over.

MAGA should be turned into MAGAL .... Making America Great At Last

1 day to go. My prediction remains unchanged from August 10. Harris wins with 319.

Everyone should be reminded of the Red Mirage / Blue Shift.
Due to voting patterns and vote counting procedures, Republican leaning rural areas get counted first, causing a false impression of a Trump lead.
But then Democrat leaning urban areas get counted later, causing the Blue Shift.
This is all well known in advance, and happened in 2020. It will happen again tomorrow.

This video will explain it better than myself.

So don't believe Trump claims if he takes an early lead in the counting. You need to count all the votes before declaring a winner.

I hope your prediction holds true, Bob G.

Personally, because I believe in Earth as a place meant for evil and suffering, I think Trump gets back in the White House.

I just watched the counting of ballots on Dixville Notch, NH. There were a total of 6 resident voters there and once they had all cast their ballots, legally they could close the voting and count the ballots. The result: 3 for Trump, 3 for Harris.

Perhaps a harbringer of the overall results because the residents were 4 registered Republicans and 2 undeclared. That means at least 1 registered Republican voted for Harris ... 1 out of 4. If that happens nationwide, Trump loses. We may all have to give a big thanks to Liz Cheney.

If rhe 2 undeclared voted for Trump, then 3 of the 4 registered Republicans voted for Harris.
