"The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris.”

    If Iowa goes blue, then the election overall is very likely going to be a landslide for Harris.

      Vote anyway if anyone hasn’t yet. Because no matter if it’s close, a few points, or a sweep Trump is already planning on calling it rigged (he already has) and rallying his supporters to do who knows what. It’s going to be a long few months, maybe more.

      Also, don’t forget that voting just gets a preferred candidate into office, you still have to remind and pressure them on topics you feel important, regularly. I think this is really where America fails as a representative democracy, most people don’t follow up on what they were all hyped up about during an election.

        The larger Harris’ margin is, the harder it will be for the GOP to steal. If Trump loses a state by 5 votes, it’d be easy to “find” five “irregular” votes and discard them. If Trump loses a state by 500,000 votes… they’re not gonna find an excuse to toss that many. Nobody outside the 30% deplorable contingent would believe that for a second.
