The Kamala Harris presidential candidacy

FWIW, here's my sample ballot.

Note that the unopposed judges (71-91) are not the same as the retention judges (201-356).

FWIW, here's my sample ballot.

Holy crap, I thought our 2-page ballot was bad.

That's why voting by mail is a game changer for me in Chicago. It could take a long time to vote not because too many people were in line, but because it took too long to mark up the entire freaking ballot.

The Judge retention voting takes up a full page in Arizona, and I'd never paid much attention to it. That changed this year when I was going over the ballot initiatives. One of the initiatives is to make judges a lifetime appointment unless they are convicted of a felony or file bankruptcy or mortgage foreclosure. Any coincidence this initiative showed up the year after the Arizona Supreme Court voted that the Abortion law passed 50 years before statehood is valid? Probably nothing to do with Arizona becoming more of a toss up in State elected Officials either. I doubt this initiative will pass, but I'm curious to see if the two Supreme Court judges on the ballot this year will be retained.

Note: All the current Arizona Supreme Court Justices were appointed by Republican Governors.

She needed to win by 4% to offset the EC disadvantage.

Likely voters, n=1,297, +/- 3.5% margin of error.

The gender gap nationally has been cut by more than half. A 15-point gender gap now exists compared with 34 points in early October. Harris (47%) has carved into Trump's advantage (51%) among men. Now, only 4 points separate the two among these voters. Trump previously had a 16-point advantage among men. While Harris (55%) maintains a double-digit [11 point] lead over Trump (44%) among women, her lead has decreased from 18 points.

I guess women are going to have to save the world yet again.

So much so. Women and hopefully enough young men.

Women and children first.

That has the makings of a great political cartoon for long lines at voting locations.

I won’t pretend to know better than the author of that opinion piece, but The Economist slants distinctly right.

The Economist just endorsed Kamala Harris

Didn't expect that, but it makes sense given that they're, you know -- economists. Trump's stated policy agenda would be a disaster while Biden's was a huge success.

Who'd have thought telling women and minorities to accept they'd need to return to pre-1970s levels of rights that you'd not lose votes. Its not illegal immigrants voting early and often like they claim.
