US Election Watch Thread 2024

Might be liberal disinformation...seeing a lot of tweets all saying that "Trump campaign is in panic mode & they are going crazy over there". Should be interesting...I am still skeptical of DTJ winning.

Apparently anyone who is legally in the USA could walk into the polling booths and vote. No voter identification needed, no photo id needed, no one is checking. In many places and electricity bill is sufficient. Once your vote is in the ballot box game is over.

India EC should help USA and Canada conduct proper elections.

BREAKING: KAMALA'S CAMPAIGN COORDINATES SOCIAL MEDIA MANIPULATION TO BOOST SUPPORT

Kamala's campaign’s use of a Discord server to organize volunteers in pushing pro-Harris content across social media, particularly on X.

Volunteers are reportedly directed to downvote accurate Community Notes countering Kamala's posts, artificially boosting her messaging.

The campaign also utilizes the Reach app to distribute memes and videos, encouraging volunteers to amplify posts with unrelated trending hashtags.

These coordinated efforts create a false sense of widespread support, often breaching social media platforms’ terms.

The 2024 Pennsylvania Republican vs Democrat vote is now over 500k better than the same day in 2020, when Biden’s victory margin was only 80k!

Moreover, yesterday there were more Republican early votes than Democrat.

Pennsylvania will be a decisive Republican victory.

BREAKING: A judge in Arizona just ruled that the Democrat Secretary of State MUST immediately release the list of nearly 100,000 voters who officials marked as U.S. citizens when they hadn't even provided documentary proof

Judge Scott Blaney also awarded attorneys' fees to the election integrity patriots for their trouble.

"THE COURT FINDS specifically that the Secretary has not established by a preponderance of the evidence that production of the records would violate rights of privacy or confidentiality or would be detrimental to the best interests of the state."

Judge Blaney also required them to do this by noon on Monday, the eve of the election. HE'S NOT PLAYING. The state failed to do its job in verifying the citizenship status of well over 200k voters in total, which is the new number they gave us, so he's allowing patriots to do the government's job for them.

Liberal media are projecting that early voting is leaning towards a KH lead...more women are turning up to vote compared to males (and it is projected that women are leaning towards KH)...they do acknowledge that voting day is a big factor.

[Mort Walker]

From everything I can gather it looks like Trump will lose a close election with 262 EV. The two big pickups will be GA & AZ from 2020. The states of WI, MI & PA will be close and Trump will lose these by around 1-2%.

This is true, but more men vote on voting day. At this point, Dems are utilizing more of their base early on. However, Rep early voting has increased too. At this time, I only see WI as a state which has more Dems voting early compared to 2020 - which is a good sign for Harris.

They’re getting INCREDIBLY desperate, as Republican turnout in AZ is massive!

The leftist media is LYING about President Trump’s remarks, in which he suggested warhawks should be sent to the frontlines of the wars they’re pushing for instead.

Trump will PUT AN END to Democrat lawfare!

The question is up to what level the Dems go to stop DJT. They would like to go to any level. But will their moneybag backers allow them to go to those levels? I am not sure. I think a lot depends on what kind of Futures the moneybags invest in Wall Street. So, we may have to watch the futures market and see how betting is going on Wall Street. DJT is not really bad for markets per se. He may harm MIC and the import lobby in the immediate future. But not in the long run.

Too much uncertainty created by lies after lies and manipulation methods by the oligarchy will, in the end, kill the US. Just like they did to the Roman Republic.

October 2024 job numbers came in at a dismal 12K. DJI Futures went up slightly - by about 400 points. Probably moneybags are thinking Trump will win, keep the corporate taxes at 20%, and businesses will expand their head count. Maybe. I have no idea how to read these signals.

Most of these betting markets are funded by "shady" investors typically using cryptocurrency. For example, Polymarket (which has made a lot of headlines in USA for favoring Trump) is funded by Peter Thiel - gay billionaire who is also the single largest (by far) donor to JD Vance's political career. The two appear to have become more distanced after Vance went from "i might be gay" to now overcompensating with over-the-top defenses of family values and children. I do sympathize with his wife. His latest verbal creation is the "normal gay guy"...wait, is that the gay guy with a wife and kids to cover for it....the guy that he knows only too well ?

Anyway, I digressed. The other investor in Polymarket is Ethereum (crypto platform), founded by a Russian character named Vitalik Buterin - also a Peter Thiel protege and having friendly relations with Volodya back in Moskva. Unsurprisingly Trump and his family members are vigorously promoting cryptocurrency. Also, Nate Silver (of 538) is listed an advisor to Polymarket.

Just like the "left" ecosystem, these guys also have their own version, with a bunch of very curious bedfellows. Ye kattar imandaar sab mile hue hain ji.

^^Just one spam and you think it should be reported on BRF? Lucky you.

I have always supported candidates in Bharat and USA with my wallet, not just my words.

In USA I have been receiving Trump spam over the last 8 years, because:

(1) i am part of a Hindu PAC that mostly supports local GOP candidates....none of them MAGA types, instead educated and inclusive people (one of whom i actually taught!). These folks actually apologize and appreciate that hindus are still supporting them despite their flatulent (at both ends) three-time prez nominee.

(2) i supported Trump in 2016 (regrettably).

In 2020 and 2024 i have supported Bhaidanwa and Kamaladevi for prez elections. I do respect Bhaidanwa. Kamala is evolving, hopefully to a good quality...but basically any warm body is acceptable over the unique man with an anus under his nose. I got polite thank you notes from Dem party, and an entry into some kind of raffle in which winners would get to meet Kamala and Walz.

Got a ticket to meet/listen to Chatur Ramaswami. He turned out to be an absolute clown, basically a suck-up crypto-Xtian uncle tom in the making. For a while i got spam from Chatur as well.

Whatever be my candidate support, i remain objective, informative, and balanced in my posts on "understanding USA", "USA elections", etc.

As far as Bharat is concerned, its NaMo forever!

[williams]

If polling reflects the 2012 pattern then, Harris will win. If it reflects 2016 pattern then Trump will win. It is as simple as that. This election definitely depends on the independent swing voters. If they see beyond Harris' personality and believe she will make some amends to Biden's policy, she is going to get their votes. On the other hand if they are frustrated with the current issues with cost of living and housing and want something radical, then Trump will win. Also expect the final results to be announced by 6th or 7th. it is not going to be announced the same day.

[chanakyaa]

Gallup poll estimates that more than half of the voters are expected to cast their ballot by mail-in/absentee process, this is unbelievable. In 2020, 64% of voters cast their ballot before the election day. Makes sense because of COVID, but in 2024?

Election day voting has collapsed from 90% in 1996 to approx. 50%. Mail-in/Absentee is typically used when the voter knows that he/she will not be present on the election day. Historically it has been used for situations in which voter was out of town for work, medical reasons, military personnel etc., but now it has become a norm, and prime for fraud??

More Than Half of U.S. Votes Likely Cast Before Election Day

One such fraudulent practice is known as "Ballot collecting, also known as "ballot harvesting" or "ballot chasing", is the gathering and submitting of completed absentee or mail-in voter ballots by third-party individuals, volunteers or workers, rather than submission by voters themselves directly to ballot collection sites". And, it is outright illegal only in few states, not all.

Added later: Even vice president Harris isn't voting in person. ha. there was a time when candidates would travel back to their home town to vote for photo op, who cares these days.

There are a few things going on including states clarifying early voting, in-person absentee voting, & mail-in voting. The other big factor is that many Republicans have embraced early voting too. There is likely to be a big turnout on Tuesday and the potential for rioting by Democrats is very high in large metroplexes from Wednesday onwards - if Trump wins.

[Mort Walker]

With high Republican turnout, another possibility is that Trump can win the popular vote, but lose the electoral college due to the way balance of states are and due to ballot box stuffing in the Rust Belt states.

Even if you have done your PeeChaddi from a private university, it is the tax dollars that enabled you. Donations and research grants to universities are 100% tax deductible which fact I am sure you know very well.

If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929-style economic depression. If I win, you are 3 days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen.

Kamala’s inflation nightmare has cost the typical American family $30,000 dollars in higher prices—and now, she wants to impose the largest tax hike in American history, and raise your taxes by $3,000 dollars a year.

I will massively cut taxes for workers and small businesses—and we will have NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY benefits!

[Mort Walker]

Can we expect a civil war in USA?

If Trump wins, which is still questionable at this time for a number of reasons, Democratic Party operatives in large cities will riot. This is the same playbook seen in West Bengal. The federal government will blame the rioting on Trump supporters in SM and begin arresting them (including Elon Musk), leading to a downward spiral by the end of the week. The result will be Biden declaring martial law.

There is still time for the GoI MEA to issue a US Travel Advisory telling Indians to avoid large city centers and gatherings. Personally, I would advise WFH on Wednesday, if possible, have some food & water stored, fuel your vehicles, back up power, self-defense & cash on-hand. Watch your children to make sure they're home from school immediately. Various college/university campuses will have many disruptions too.

It is nonsensical to have him for US elections thread, especially to support one or the other side. This is Bharat Rakshak, not US/Indian-American Rakshak.

Irrespective of the leanings/opinions of a few US-based posters, the USA election result is nothing for Bharat/India to be greatly concerned about. Whatever the result may be, India will engage as needed (or not) with whoever is the next US president. The result is important for the USA in terms of its future direction, not for India.

[Amber G.]

I wholeheartedly endorse Kamala Harris for President.
As Michelle Obama so eloquently stated,

So I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known … a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this, while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all.

(We're holding Kamala to an unrealistic standard, ignoring Trump's gross incompetence, erratic behavior and alarming history.")
His track record as a convicted felon, slumlord and predator liable for sexual abuse is unacceptable (see note 1).

As someone who's watched 15 U.S. presidential races since arriving as a physics graduate student in USA in 60’s, I recognize this election's significance. After making the U.S. my home, I've voted in last 12 such elections, valuing democracy's importance.


My extended family and friends, numbering hundreds (including many lifelong Republicans), unanimously reject supporting a convicted criminal. Many Nobel Laureates and former Trump supporters share our concerns, viewing Trump as unfit (see link 2).

Personally, I've known Trump since the 70s and never seen positive moral leadership from him.
My family and I have voted (or planning to vote) for Kamala, prioritizing integrity.

While I reject claims of election 'rigging' , voter intimidation is a legitimate concern. Protecting democracy, especially post-January 6, is paramount.

Join me in supporting Kamala Harris. At this point there is simply no other choice.
Hope for a brighter America.
