JFK-1 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Whose Vote Counts (full film) | FRONTLINE As America chooses its next president in the midst of a historic pandemic, FRONTLINE investigates whose vote counts — and whose might not. In this documentary with Columbia Journalism Investigations and USA Today, New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb reports on allegations of voter disenfranchisement, how unfounded claims of extensive voter fraud entered the political mainstream, rhetoric and realities around mail-in ballots, and how the pandemic could impact turnout. With director June Cross, the Fred W. Friendly Professor of Media and Society at Columbia, and producer Thomas Jennings, Cobb scrutinizes one of the first elections held during the pandemic — Wisconsin’s April 2020 primary, which saw long lines, claims of disenfranchisement, an unprecedented number of absentee ballots and dueling legal battles between Republicans and Democrats. The film places the election within the context of America’s history around voting rights and suppression, and discovers lessons for the country as a whole as the November presidential contest approaches.

Jambos_1874 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Saw Obama speaking at a rally in Philadelphia earlier on BBC News and it is absolutely incredible that Trump replaced him in the White House. He absolutely called out Trump and very clearly highlighted just how ridiculous his decision making and general conduct has been. There can't have been many times that ex-presidents have openly criticised current presidents, but then again Trump is far from a normal president. I really hope that America sees sense on election day and elects Biden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 16 hours ago, XB52 said: You keep saying the polls are narrowing but they aren't, at least not according to the BBC poll tracker?? I don't follow the BBC poll tracker. I'm following FiveThirtyEight and Real Clear Politics. RCP consistently paints a more pessimistic picture than 538 from the Democrat point of view. This was also the case in 2016. RCP is more selective about what polls it includes in its aggregator than 538. I haven't looked at the data inputs to the BBC tracker, but I'd be surprised if they were as numerous or as comprehensive as RCP and 538. Today alone, 538 added over a dozen national polls to its database, as well as, for example, around 30 state-level polls covering Florida, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Michigan. RCP's current analysis is based on 8 national polls published since last Friday, and 25 state-level polls for the states of Florida, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Michigan. 538 is showing a slight shrinking of Biden's lead. RCP is showing a more definite narrowing of the gap, especially in the battleground states, but that seems to be stalling today. But the trend that I'm following most closely is the comparison of Trump's polling position now with where he stood at the same point in the 2016 race. It's available on RCP, though you have to do a bit of digging and cross-referencing to get at the numbers. It's also the most worrying trend for the Democrats, because it has been showing Trump as being in a better position now than he was then in the battleground states that Biden most needs to win. But that trend also seems to be stalling today. Right now, Biden is doing about 2 percentage points better than Clinton across the country as a whole, and more or less the same as Clinton across the six states I listed above. If that holds, he'll win and probably with a fair bit to spare. But if the trends go the same now as they did in the last 12-13 days of the 2016 campaign, Trump's campaign is very much back in business. Here's a link to RCP's 2020 v. 2016 comparison page nationally: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/trump-vs-biden-national-polls-2020-vs-2016/ And for the six top battleground states: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/trump-vs-biden-top-battleground-states-2020-vs-2016/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 You can say what you want about your personal feelings of President Obama, you can argue some the policies he made, you can argue a lot of what he done or did not. But what cannot ever be in doubt is that he was a proper statesman, and someone worthy of the office of POTUS. Despite what you may hear in some circles, in 100 years, history will look back on Obama as a good, if not great American President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 28 minutes ago, Justin Z said: Being very, very rough on himself with that quote. Despite what he said I think it changed him. I feel he became bitter at the cranking up of the bipartisanship when they tried to stymie every single thing he did no matter how much sense it made. I think he felt a large part of it was simply because he was black. And frankly I would agree with him on that. And it's still why they're trying to dismantle his signature achievement the ACA. Not because it's so bad, but simply because it was him who enacted it. I remember an incident soon after Trump took office. Some staffer or other was trying to explain some detail or other to him. Trump as usual wasn't really interested in listening to the details, interrupts and says. Was Obama for it. The staffer replies yes. Well I'm against it says Trump. If Obama had been against it he would have been for it. He didn't even understand what it was. Just if Obama was for it I'm against it. That's how dysfunctional Trump in particular is and how irrational overall the Republicans are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovecraft Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) This latest stuff released about Iran and Russia doesn't sit right somehow.

There's just something weird about it, like they are trying to get ahead of something that's about to break. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54640405 They still somehow claim that Trump is the target somehow too.
