538 has Biden up to 85% chance to win and closing in on 10% ahead in the polls nationally.

Meanwhile, 6.2 million people have already voted, which compares to about 450,000 at a similar time in 2016. Michael McDonald at Elect Project is tracking all of that including state by state turnout as a percentage of total turnout in 2016: https://mobile.twitter.com/ElectProj...24796868259842

Of note: turnout in key states is already through the roof, including in Wisconsin where ballots cast are equal to 20.6% of total 2016 turnout—and there is still almost a month until the election!

Six members of an alt-right militia in Michigan have been arrested for plotting to kidnap governor Whittmer.

Trump, of course, had said that people needed to 'liberate' Michigan.

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/ne...er/5922301002/

edit: There's a separate news story about 3 being arrested for plotting to kill Whittmer:

https://www.9and10news.com/2020/10/0...igan-governor/

Different people and counties named in both articles, so it seems like there were multiple plots against Whittmer.

Peter Thiel and other Trump-supporting techbros should create a Deep Fake Trumpbot to appear at the next debate in Donald's place. Train it by feeding it every tweet Trump has ever written. It's not like it'd be any less coherent than the real thing.

I wasn't a fan of Pete in the primary, but he's pretty good at these Fox interviews

Get your supporters sick just in time for voting? Since he has spent so much time vilifying mail in voting I cant imagine they will be voting by mail

I always thought he was the brightest of all the candidates. He probably wasn't the right guy to face Trump, but he would be my first choice to be president.

Swamp Creatures?? There is no finesse or evil genius in Bill Stepien. It's getting pretty clear that all the strategists with any brain were either arrested or fired. The only strategy is to yell at rallies and on Twitter.

Pete definitely deserves a high cabinet position.

How many people can speak like that? Obama level speaking skills.
Powers through and the deplorable Fox guy can jump in to defend his dictator.

The only thing he doesn't have going for him is his last name. Maybe he should change it to Pete Butler, something easier for the Voter to pronounce.

Voters planning to cast a ballot by mail favor Biden by 41 points, while Trump leads by 11 points among those planning to vote in person.
This is a concerning poll result.

It could result in the following scenario

- Trump has a significant electoral college lead on election night
- Mail in Ballots are counted and Biden wins them 70-30
- that swings the election

- it creates the Narritive that Trump is looking for as a 70-30 win on any issue right now is surprising.

Some of that is skewed by states like California having liberal mail in ballot rules so maybe not that bad.

Whatever the total actual numbers are of these 'fringe' militia types (people say oh they're the fringe and only like 1% of population) they are all in for trump and this shows they will be out in full force.

what are other militias plotting? it is unfortunately going to look more and more dystopian the closer to election we get in every state. this is very disturbing and it indicates some serious volatility.

the west seems to think it won't happen here (revolts, political violence etc) but there is a lot of hatred bubbling over...

The thing is if mail in ballots are received well before election day they are often the first ballots counted. Anything received around election day or after won't be counted until last, but with such a large volume so far out Trump's strategy of hoping he's ahead on election night and then ending the election there is less viable.
