So, less than a week out, where are we?
As a refresher, here's where we were at this point in 2016
Trump: 260 ECV (FL and NC had closed for Trump)
Clinton: 248 ECV
Potentially dodgy: NV (6 ECV)
Too-close to call: NH (4 ECV) and PA (20 ECV)
Yesterday the U.S. sanctioned four people for election interference in Venezuela.
Granted, all of these polls are from right-leaning sources, but they are legit pollsters.
First of all, blacks are less than impressed with Biden's VP pick.
This is starting to feel a whole bunch like 2016.
Back then Trump managed to steal the white working-class votes in the Rust Belt states because he talked about bad trade deals and how they cost us whole industries, while the Democrats wouldn't even consider the topic. The Democrats didn't care about the white working class in the Rust Belt states. They took them for granted for 40 years.
I listen, when Chris Hedges speaks. He talks to Greg Palast.

In the show this week, Chris Hedges discusses the potential for voter fraud in the 2020 US presidential election with investigative journalist, Greg Palast.
First I want to clarify a few things.
Trump Republicans are still an evil that I won't support.
Secondly, if you identify with the cultural left then the Trump Republicans are still the greater evil.
What I'm talking about here is the Traditional Left that identifies with the working class.
Half of Americans believe Trump has done a “good job” dealing with the outbreak, while 45 percent say he has done a “bad job.”
How is that even possible?
#1 Unforeseen
Trump was already slightly to the left of the Democratic establishment on issues of wars and trade, but now the parties have totally switched positions.
Trump declares a national emergency, the basis for which is COVID-19. But like the proverbial camel's nose getting into the tent, martial law is now applicable.
Constitutional and other law experts (which I am not) may agree or disagree. I can only rely upon that sacred legal source, Wikipedia (and other places) for this.
