Pa. Shows Big Numbers for Democrats, Trouble for Trump

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/donald-trump-kamala-harris-pennsylvania/2024/10/22/id/1184986/

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has called Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona the must-watch battleground states on election night, but the early returns now show trouble for his campaign in the aptly name Keystone State.

Trump's campaign rally mantra has been "too big to rig," seeking to run up the score to make a lead insurmountable. But Vice President Kamala Harris' early vote strength in Pennsylvania might be giving her a large cushion of votes going into Election Day on Nov. 5.

Trump beat Joe Biden on Election Day in 2020, only to find the win evaporate as mail-in ballots were counted. In his 2022 Senate race, Dr. Mehmet Oz handily won on Election Day against John Fetterman. But Fetterman had so many mail-in votes, he became the state's U.S. senator.

This year, close to 2 million mail-in ballots have been requested and nearly 1 million early Pennsylvania votes have already been cast. Bad news again for Republicans: These early votes come from an overwhelming majority of registered Democrat voters (64%), according to NBC News' early vote tracker Tuesday morning.

While these ballots are not actual votes for Kamala Harris, about 90% of Democratic registered ballots historically go to the party's candidate. Ditto for Republican ballots going to the GOP's candidate. So far, registered Republicans have cast just 27% of Pennsylvania's mail-in and early in-person votes to date. This number is up slightly from 2020 when 24% of ballots came from registered Republicans. Another 9% of ballots cast have come from those registered independent or with another party.

Some pundits argue that Pennsylvania, the largest of the seven battleground states, is absolutely critical for a Harris or Trump win in the Electoral College. Pennsylvania holds 19 electoral college votes with 270 needed to clinch the presidency.

The others key swing states are Arizona (11 electoral votes), Georgia (16), Michigan (16), Nevada (6), North Carolina (16), and Wisconsin (10%). Republicans' early vote ground game is doing better at getting registered Republican votes cast in other battleground states:

Arizona (385,000 votes cast): GOP 44%, Democrat 35%

Georgia (nearly 1.7 million): GOP 49%, Democrat 46%

Michigan (more than 1 million): Democrat 54%, GOP 36%

Nevada (247,000): Democrat 40%, GOP 35%

North Carolina (more than 1 million): Democrat 36%, GOP 33%

Wisconsin (326,000): Other 41%, Democrat 40%, GOP 19%

When asked last week at a Chicago economic forum which state is going to decide the election, Trump showed no hesitation in pointing to the Keystone State as the key to the election. "Pennsylvania, I would say mostly," he said.

While there have been 921,720 early votes already cast by mail and in-person in Pennsylvania, there have been 1,843,687 mail-in ballots requested.

If current trends continue, the Democrats will enter Election Day with about 1 million votes already secured.

Pennsylvania's early in-person voting began Sept. 16 and the deadline to register to vote was Monday, Oct. 21. There remains a week left of early in-person voting, which ends Oct. 29 — a week before the Nov. 5 Election Day.

Pennsylvania is considered a swing state, but in the past seven presidential elections there has not been much in the way of swinging. It has been a Democrat stronghold, with Trump's surprise 2016 win the only anomaly.

At the moment Trump leads the RealClearPolitics polling average in the state by 0.8% points — similar to the 0.7% margin he won by in 2016.

All of the polls in that data set are within the margin of error, making the race a virtual statistical tie as early voting continues in Pennsylvania, making voter turnout, and perhaps the early ballots, the likely deciding factor.

Hezbollah Drone Scored Direct Hit on Netanyahu Home

The drone attack launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon on Oct. 19 targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea scored a direct hit on the home, the military censor cleared for publication on Tuesday.

Following the attempted assassination, security measures for government ministers and other officials have been "significantly" reinforced.

"Iran tried to eliminate the prime minister of Israel. It will not escape responsibility," a senior Israeli government official told Ynet.

According to reports, the assault included three drones, one of which scored a direct hit on a bedroom window at the Caesarea residence. Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, were not home at the time.

"The attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake," the prime minister said in a statement on Saturday. "This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future.

"I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price," Netanyahu warned.

Hezbollah media chief Mohammed Afif during a press conference in Beirut on Tuesday declared the Iranian-backed terrorist organization’s "full, complete and exclusive responsibility for the Caesarea operation."

The Lebanese terrorist spokesman also warned, "If we did not reach you this time, then we will reach you the next time. Between us lie the days, nights and the battlefield."

The Saudi state-owned Al-Hadath television news channel reported earlier on Tuesday that diplomatic officials at the Iranian embassy in Lebanon were directly involved in the attempt on Netanyahu’s life.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday that he was relieved Netanyahu was "safe after the attack that reportedly targeted his home in Caesarea this morning," Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said on Saturday.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., former President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also condemned the attack on Netanyahu, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement on Monday.

MSM's are really trying hard to set a narrative to lead voters to vote how they want them to.

This article proves that, not to mention they shouldn't have ballot numbers yet of who voted for who yet either, but they are making out like she's winning.

USA Today: Harris Leads Trump 2-1 Among Early Voters

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/early-vote-kamala-harris/2024/10/22/id/1184965/

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly leads former President Donald Trump among early voters, many of whom have been motivated to cast ballots due the abortion issue.

Harris is ahead of Trump by nearly a 2-to-1 margin (63%-34%) among people who have already voted, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll.

Trump, though, leads 52%-35% among voters who plan to wait until Election Day to cast their ballots.

One in 5 voters who already have submitted their ballots said "abortion rights/women's rights" was their most important issue.

By 63%-33%, those who already have voted say they support Democrat congressional candidates.

Overall, the survey shows Harris with a 45%-44% edge, well within the margin of error, and Democrats with a 47%-45% advantage on the generic congressional ballot.

USA Today reported the early voter turnout among Harris' supporters carries advantages for Democrats.

"First, large Harris voter leads are being banked every day," said David Paleologos, director of Suffolk's Political Research Center. "Second, it gives the Harris campaign some time to persuade Election Day voters."

That would include appeals to "some previously reliable Democratic voters who have drifted away over the past few weeks, like young Black and Latino men," he added.

A third respondents said they plan to vote early – a group that supports Harris by 52%-39% – and nearly half said they will wait until Election Day.

The latest USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll of 1,000 likely voters was conducted Oct. 14-18 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

One in seven respondents said they had already voted, as some states have begun early mail-in and in-person voting.

The poll also showed Trump closing the gap with targeted messaging while Harris struggles to generate enthusiasm among critical demographics.

Trump leads 49%-38% among Latino voters.

Harris leads among Black voters with 72%, but this is a significant drop compared to traditional Democrat margins in the group. By contrast, Trump's 17% among Black voters marks a considerable inroad.

Judge tosses Mark Meadows’ bid to obtain White House records for use in Ga. criminal case

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/22/mark-meadows-georgia-criminal-case-00184897

A federal judge has thrown out former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ bid to obtain a large trove of records from the National Archives aimed at bolstering his defense against criminal charges in Georgia.

U.S. District Judge Tim Kelly ruled on Tuesday that Meadows’ effort — which he initially brought in a local D.C. court but was transferred to federal court — was flawed from the start. Though a judge in Georgia had authorized Meadows to pursue the records, Kelly noted that state courts rarely have authority over action taken against a federal agency.

“The Court cannot bypass this jurisdictional defect,” Kelly, a Donald Trump appointee, ruled.

Meadows had hoped to access emails, text messages and other White House documents held by the National Archives to help prepare his defense against criminal charges brought against him in Georgia for his role in aiding Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 results in the state.

Meadows has remained largely below the radar since Trump left office in 2021, resisting an appearance before the House Jan. 6 select committee even as he turned over text messages that became a roadmap for the panel’s investigation. Meadows was also compelled by a federal judge to testify to special counsel Jack Smith’s team last year.

The former Republican congressman from North Carolina was a ubiquitous presence as Trump sought to subvert the 2020 election, coordinating messages with the campaign, state officials and the RNC. He was ultimately charged in Georgia by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for his involvement in Trump’s effort to flip the outcome in the state.

Meadows was a participant in a phone call between Trump and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which the then-president asked election officials to “find” just enough votes to reverse his defeat. He also traveled to Georgia amid a closely scrutinized recount and asked whether the Trump campaign could help fund the proceedings to speed them up.

An attorney for Meadows did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sen. Tuberville to Newsmax: Republicans Learning to Vote Early

https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/tommy-tuberville-early-voting-election/2024/10/22/id/1184988/

Republicans are casting early ballots in record numbers and that's because they're "learning for the first time to go vote and go early" to improve their chances of winning, Sen. Tommy Tuberville said on Newsmax Tuesday.

"We haven't done that in the past," the Alabama Republican told "Wake Up America." "We've been [turning out] for a day of voting on a Tuesday and trying to cram it all in."

But now, he added, "you're seeing record turnouts for Republicans right now, especially in the South, and we've been keeping up with it."

Data from the University of Florida's Election Lab shows that nearly 18 million Americans have voted early as of Tuesday, and while Democrats continue to outpace Republicans in early voting, the numbers with Republicans are also growing.

"It's something new for us," Tuberville said. "But hey, if they're going to do it, let's do it, and let's do it the right way, and don't be left out in the cold like we have been over the last couple of times."

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice has filed suit against Alabama over its voting laws after efforts to clear the voting rolls of non-citizens, and Tuberville said the move is "all a plan" to "keep everybody in turmoil."

"We are getting sued, obviously from Merrick Garland, the attorney general of the United States," said Tuberville. "He's a Democrat."

But the plan won't work, he added.

"Alabama obviously will be a Donald Trump state," said Tuberville. "There's no problem there. But we have to make sure that we have congressional seats covered because our representatives run every two years. I'm not up this year. [GOP Sen.] Katie Britt is not up this year. But our representatives are and we want to make sure we turn out strong."

At the same time, "Democrats are trying to do everything they possibly can to keep Republicans from voting," he said.

Tuberville also commented on Vice President Kamala Harris' choosing to prepare for an upcoming NBC interview rather than being out campaigning like Trump.

"I think they're just trying to keep her off-camera," he said. "She's been a disaster. Her poll numbers keep going down. Donald Trump is the Energizer bunny. I mean, he does not quit. I mean, he keeps going and going and going … he sleeps 2 or 3 hours a night, but he loves what he's doing. He loves the country. He's our only chance. We can't lose this."

Trump, he added, will "get us out of the wars. He will get us back to spending the right way."

The United States must "get an identity back," said Tuberville.

"We don't have an identity and the Democrats are all to blame for it because they pushed all this agenda that is totally nonsense," he said.

Meanwhile, Tuberville said that if he were advising Trump, he'd remind him to focus on education.

"We've got to get back to educating our kids instead of indoctrinating our kids all across the country," said Tuberville.

The economy is also vital, he added.

"We've got to get prices back down," he said. "We've got to start drilling for oil. We've got to open our spigots up and, and give the American people a chance right now."
