Red State Reality Check, Pre-Emptive Kamala Blame Game, Vexing Voting Issues
Update: 2024-10-31
Description
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a double-fisted crazy one. Today, they discuss growing confidence that the GOP will defend all its Senate seats, Democrats already assigning blame if Harris loses, and voting issues popping up in multiple states.
First, they discuss GOP Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer’s stronger position as two different polls show her leading an “independent” opponent who previously supported Bernie Sanders. A Fischer win would boost chances of Republican control, and Jim points to this as another likely example of Democrats possibly overestimating their chances in a traditionally red state.
Next, Jim and Greg chuckle over Democrats reportedly pointing fingers in the event Kamala Harris loses next week. Anonymous operatives hint at criticism of her nontraditional nomination process and the choice of Tim Walz as VP nominee if Trump secures victory. Jim and Greg see the biggest story here being that Democrats are pessimistic enough to talk publicly about a loss that hasn't happened.
Finally, they discuss recurring issues as early voting unfolds. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson confirms some Dominion voting machines are malfunctioning, blocking straight-party voting. Meanwhile, a Washington state voter reports receiving 16 absentee ballots with various names at her address. Why aren't these issues being flagged before people start voting?
