Here's what you need to know as election day draws closer - from who the candidates are to how votes are cast and an explanation of how the Electoral College works. Plus: why is it always on a Tuesday?

The campaign sprint to Election Day has begun, and as always, an inordinate amount of attention is on public polling. Those polls are telling us the real story of the campaign so far — but are we willing to listen?  Read the latest insights from Professor Gregory Wawro and program contributor Doug Usher, Ph.D. in this recent article. https://lnkd.in/eN7bBY2P #ColumbiaSPS #PoliticalAnalytics

What to expect on Election Night 2024? The same process as in 2020. Experts believe that due to the expansion of Early Voting and Vote by Mail, many states will still be in the process of counting ballots well after Election Day. Thus watch parties can be both fun and anxiety provoking as voters watch two separate phenomenons occur: A Red Mirage followed by a Blue Shift. Curious to know what to expect? I suggest watching this great video explanation from my Brother in the Movement - Professor Robert Reich - and ask that you share this video with your networks so they can be prepared. Then sign up for a final get out the vote volunteer shift at www.NewYorkforHarris.com. #ItsUpToUs #VotingMatters #GetOutTheVote #Freedom #ANewWayForward #knowledgeispower

🇺🇸🗳️ Re/ the Republican backup plan for stealing the Election for Trvmp: Harris will win the popular vote by at least 10 million. But as we Democrats know too well, the Electoral College is a legally built-in CHEAT when it comes to The People's equal voting power. Republican Presidential candidates lost the popular vote but still stole the White House in 2000, and again in 2016, and NOW they're at it again. The 'toss up' swing states are being inundated with disinformation, much of it from Russian propagandists. Here's a recent report about some of Pvtin's latest, as reported by Catherine Belton at the Wash.Post (not yet paywalled): 👉 https://lnkd.in/gWQh46wR 📣 2️⃣7️⃣0️⃣ or BUST: Worst of all, here's their backup plan: IF neither candidate reaches the required number of Electoral College votes, THEN... the Party of Trvmp will invoke the Constitution's #12thAmendment: a "contingent election," as well explained here by Thom Hartmann (repost).👇 Many often refer to the "contingent election" as being "thrown into the Congress," but that's not an accurate description. The U.S. House is just where/ how they carry out the procedure, which would give each state just one vote, as decided / directed by the 50 state legislatures. Under that scenario today, Trvmp would likely "win" 26 to 24. 📜 This contingent election method was denounced by #ThomasJefferson, who said this about it: "I have no hesitation in saying that I have ever [always] considered the constitutional mode of election, ultimately by the legislature voting by states, as the most dangerous blot in our constitution, and one which some unlucky chance will some day hit, and give us a pope and antipope." ~Thomas Jefferson --- That may turn out to be prophetic here! Another article explaining this dangerous anti-democratic 'contingent election' possibility is at 'Project Democracy' (a non-partisan non-profit which has been working to prevent & oppose authoritarian governance globally). See, 👉 https://lnkd.in/gwWdpTvq 🗳️🌊 A blue wave won't be enough this time. 🌊🌊 We need a BLUE TSUNAMI. The greater VP Harris' victory, the more uncomfortable it will be for dishonest Republicans election officials to try to pull this off. 📣 ⚖️ We also need to call on President Biden to use every legal means necessary to force dishonest Republican Governors (such as #Georgia's Brian Kemp) & their crooked election officials to honestly CERTIFY their states' election results. #ElectoralCollege #ConstitutionalLaw #KamalaHarrris #Presidency -------- 25 October, 2024 -------

Lessons learned from the 2016 Clinton v. Trump Presidential Election: If Hillary Clinton was leading 3-5 points over Trump in the pre-election polls (https://lnkd.in/efpD4g-Q ), why did Trump win? The Pew Research Center has the answer: **LAST MINUTE CHANGES IN VOTER CHOICE - DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION** Read their findings for yourself: https://lnkd.in/ey__rwwz Nancy Pelisi, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and Barack Obama have NOT learned the lesson: they think the current polls showing Trump leading Biden by 2-3 points predicts the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. But Biden and Harris have learned the lesson: they have plenty time to cause LAST MINUTE CHANGES IN VOTER CHOICE, DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION, by hammering away at Trump MAGA policies, and allowing U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to conduct hearings with witnesses testifying about official versus private acts, airing out all Trump’s dirty laundry before the election! I’m Ridin’ with Biden because One Bad Debate Does Not Negate!
