Official Biden vs. Trump 2020 General Election Thread (Biden WINS 306 Electoral College Votes)

[Tony D'Amato]

the number of black men voting democrat has decreased every cycle since 2012 and never recovered.

Yeah.

I'm worried.

Doesn't help when u got selfish, uninformed rappers and celebrities putting wedges within the community

Florida yes but the election no

That's fair enough.

It seems like some of those Biden advisers wanted the campaign to do in-person campaign events like door-to-door knocking and stuff like that. But that simply can't be done on a wide-scale level during a pandemic. This is not a typical year or typical campaign. Also, the biggest GOTV motivator for most Black and Latino voters is Donald Trump.

Trump is the reason why I stood 4 hours in the rain in an early voting line (98% of the people waiting in the line were also Black) just to vote his ass out. I didn't need any Biden campaign person knocking on my door in order to feel motivated to vote and I know that most other Black voters feel the same.

If Biden wins this, it will be HIM teaching the master class this time around, no?

This is kind of off topic but I've been meaning to ask this: who is Acyn Torabi?

He gets shouted out and retweeted by major politicians and newspeople, but any time I've googled him it just links back to his Twitter page.

He's just a random person lol.

Well, then that means Biden will lose the election. Do you believe that?

I certainly don't.

No because he has more paths than FL. That’s the primary place it worries me TBH

 

[God Almighty]

No, just actually running a competent campaign.

A huge thing that will give Biden/Harris a lift that noone is discussing.....he doesn't have to grapple with a popular 3rd party candidate.

People can tell me 3rd party didn't suck up votes if they want but the slim margins lined up to the votes 3rd party candidates got says otherwise.

I am not gonna call the election but unlike with Hillary there are way wayyyy more roads leading to a win as opposed to a loss.

Hell the only thing that really gets discussed on here anymore are Florida and Texas. If midwest goes half as well as I expect we won't need either.

We might be on to something here. Was Impeachment them running up on Thanos, realizing he destroyed the stones (Senate having final say), Thor cutting his head off and realizing that fixed nothing?

I believe it. If you have been screaming about it for months and the numbers aren’t tracking.......

The Bloomberg article has a similar tone as the Politico piece earlier in the week.

With that said, here is a counter-narrative from a local political website:

The numbers of Black voters casting ballots by mail or at early voting sites so far is leading Democratic strategists to suggest final Black turnout numbers could rival historic levels seen in the 2008 and 2012 elections that put Barack Obama in the White House and kept him there for a second term.

“I think it will look a lot like what Obama did in 2012,” veteran Florida Democratic strategist Steve Schale said Wednesday in a Zoom press briefing with the Democratic-allied analytics firm Hawkfish and the BlackPAC political action committee.

The math is complicated. What’s more, Schale, who this year serves as chief executive of the Unite The Country PAC, cautioned that absolutely nothing occurring in 2020 voting trends has any precedent that could lead to easy assumptions.

Yet he, BlackPAC Executive Director Adrianne Shropshire, and Hawkfish Chief Executive Josh Mendelsohn contended Wednesday they are very encouraged that Black voter turnout through early Wednesday already is 95% of what was seen for all early-voting and vote-by-mail returns in 2016, with nearly a week to go.

One key number within that: Black voters make up 12.5% of those who’ve already voted. While that proportion is below their 13% proportion of the total voter base, it is well ahead of what is usually seen for the counts of early- and vote-by-mail balloting.


With Black voters historically voting late in early voting or on Election Day, the proportion of the voting that is cast by Black voters tends to climb late, Schale said. In 2008 and 2012, the final proportion was about 13.5%, he said.

“I think that’s very doable,” Schale said.

“Typically at this point, six days out, Black voters would make up 9, 10, 10.5, maybe 11 percent of the electorate,” Schale said.

“As history will tell us, Black folks prefer to vote in person,” Shropshire said. She added that direct voter outreach is finding many Black voters insisting they intend to vote on Election Day.

Here’s why it matters.


Much of the battle for Republicans and their campaigns has been over driving up targeted voter turnouts among White voters, whose voter registrations in Florida slightly favor Republicans, and Hispanic voters, whose voter registrations slightly favor Democrats.

There’s no such nuance in the Black vote. However much Republicans and President Donald Trump‘s campaign have been trying to change historic deficits with efforts like Black Voices for Trump, Black voter registration is overwhelmingly Democratic. So any increase in Black turnout is almost an automatic boost for Democrats.

There were some down numbers that concerned the Democratic strategists. Black turnout is running less than anticipated in some big counties, particularly Miami-Dade County. Young Black voters are not turning out in impressive numbers yet.

Still, Shropshire said voter outreach is finding a very high energy among Black voters, whom she believes will not be dissuaded by any concerns over in-person voting.

“People want this President gone, and they are prepared to do what is necessary to make that real.”

Steve Schale: Black voter turnout could rival Barack Obama elections

Potential issues in Miami Dade but hopefully there is an increase in black voters on election day as suggested in the article
