uspol (mild +), some speculation 

An attempt at some GOOD news: keep in mind that Biden is still favored 7-2 to win according to FiveThirtyEight.

Remember, that's the *skeptical* poll analyst, the one who correctly gave Trump a shot in 2016. The other forecasts I trust are much higher. For example, the Economist has Biden at around 13-2.

Some of these state races are starting to look like knuckle-biters. But every damn analysis of our DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED prospects seems to reject the fact that we're way ahead in a fair election.

Now, here's where it gets speculative. I don't think it's going to be a fair election. But most of the articles I've read about foreign interference have been about Russian propaganda -- something we're *already* seeing the effects of, yet Biden is still way ahead.

I am still scared about the effects of voter suppression -- but that's something that can be countered with an angry determined electorate, and it looks like we're gonna get just that.

There's a REASON people like McConnell and Graham are willing to risk blazing public criticism to pull this SCOTUS pick off. It's because - as I've pointed out to dozens of Trumpies insisting we're gonna get steamrollered -- they're not at all confident that they're going to get a second chance.
