I thought it was safe to vote in person? lol
Is it safe to go to the grocery store?

You literally copy and pasted the NPR article I am reading when I googled this now lol.
I thought that was obvious, did those sound like my own words?
The state has already lost tons of polling places since 2016.
We need MORE polling places, not less. We need a national election holiday. This is a disgrace to our democracy.
(This is a non-partisan post. Democrats have plenty of chances to pass a national election day holiday law).
Yeah, Iowa only has a few electoral votes, so most likely it won’t be a big deal in the end either way.But in my prediction I have Biden winning the Presidency with 305 EC votes and I predict he loses Iowa, Florida and Georgia but wins Pennsylvania.
How dare they suppress your constitutional right to vote with a shutdown!Prevent mail-in-voting then shutdown the polls. Wow, this is not voter suppression at all. I guess this is the only way Ernst gets re-elected.
Agreed. Iowa won't likely have a big impact on the final result.Yeah, Iowa only has a few electoral votes, so most likely it won’t be a big deal in the end either way.

I'll be even more surprised than last election if Trump wins. So many indicators that Biden will win including Trump campaigning hard in the final week in states he already won in 2016 which suggests he's on the defensive. Trump now has a political record and can no longer be treated as an outsider. Pollsters have adjusted their methodology after the fiasco of the last election, and Biden is still far ahead. In the last election, we realized voters were too shy to side with Trump publically but Trump has done nothing but embolden his base since his election, so I feel that effect has fizzeled out.
But it doesn't mean Trump can't win. There are still some unknowns such as voter turnout on election day and the accuracy of the polls. But right now, even if you accrue the margin of error of the polls in Trump's favor, he still loses.
Yes and I've listened to the pundits and elections experts weigh in on how Trump can win, and it's definitely a possibility. But you have to ask yourself "Are you more confident if you're a member of the Biden campaign or if you're a member of the Trump campaign?" Obviously members of the Trump campaign are going to say they're confident but they're surely not expressing what's being discussed behind the curtains.Agree with everything you've posted. But...some people with a lot more knowledge of the American electoral system than myself still believe that Trump could effectively steal the election if the result on 3rd November is close enough. So it's not enough for Biden to win. He has to absolutely crush Trump and leave him no option but to admit defeat.

The reality is the chance that Biden wins a blowout, which I would say is above 320 electoral votes, is higher than Trump winning by even a small margin. The likelihood that Trump wins the majority vote is next to nil. These are sentiments being echo'd by most Democrats and Independents while the GoP focuses on saying that polls are inaccurate, that they know the spirit of America thanks to being on the road during the campaign, or they will cite the Rasmussen poll who has been the most generous toward Trump, yet is largely considered one of the less reliable polling companies historically.
But the 2016 election was a lesson to the Democrats. It can't be taken for granted. You can't take your foot off the gas for one second. And I feel they learned that lesson this time around.
