    Harris has led in 5 of the last 11 polls of Wisconsin.

    Trump now down 2.2 in the RCP average, in the danger zone and the worst he has been in awhile. At 49.4% Kamala is also very near the magic 50% mark. The list of polls is (since Tina loved it so much) a sea of blue. If you look at the graph, her lead has pretty much held steady since Aug 20, with a dip around mid-September. We can dance around with a lot of rosy and optimistic explanations, and I am on record as thinking -2 for Trump still gives him a narrow win, but this is hardly “comfortable”.

    hen I see it as valid that a person would try to copy them to show Dominion’s malfeasance.”

    No. That is not how laws work.

    You don’t get to decide when it is “valid” to break the law..

    The mitigating circumstances would have been brought up at trial. Maybe the prosecutor was overzealous and the judge imposed an unfair sentence. The fact she got 9 years seems to bear that out.

    But if copying the records was illegal, then whether Dominion was right or wrong in destroying them should be irrelevant to whether she broke the law or not.

    I was wondering when this would happen.

    JUST IN: Obama to Hit the Campaign Trail for Kamala Harris Starting October 10

    NOTE: Former President Barack Obama will begin campaigning for Kamala Harris in battleground states, starting with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 10.

    NOTE: With the election on November 5, Obama’s support comes as Harris faces tight races against Donald Trump in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia.

    NOTE: Polls show Harris and Trump separated by less than 2% in these crucial states.

    NOTE: Obama’s involvement follows his role in encouraging President Biden to withdraw from the race in July.
