this is an encouraging poll for Biden out of Pennsylvania today. I noticed it says nearly 1/3 PA voters plan to vote by mail, and “among voters who have requested an absentee ballot, 75 percent prefer Mr. Biden and 18 percent back Mr. Trump” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/28/us/politics/supreme-court-pennsylvania-poll.html
“Among voters who have not requested an absentee ballot, Mr. Trump is favored 48 percent to 40 percent.”
another PA poll out today. looks good for Biden except enthusiasm gap is not great https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/29/biden-trump-pennsylvania-poll/?arc404=true
seems one of the most important things Democrats need in PA is to reach an agreement on tallying early votes. Other states have done so, but Pennsylvania's legislature remains at an impasse. Given who wants to VBM, it's in Trump's interest to block a deal https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/politics/decision-2020/why-cant-mail-in-ballots-be-counted-ahead-of-election-day-in-pa-politics-in-harrisburg/2543334/
this issue has been hard to follow since every state handles it differently and some have recently changed their rules in positive ways. But I think it needs to be clear that right now in PA you can't at all & Trump will thrive on that chaos https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/politics/decision-2020/why-cant-mail-in-ballots-be-counted-ahead-of-election-day-in-pa-politics-in-harrisburg/2543334/
