Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi, which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory. Pozharskyi did not respond to a request for comment.

Oh look, more ballots found in a dumpster: https://www.wdrb.com/news/postal-em...cle_8af4b176-0fbb-11eb-8e80-a779be3d25da.html

"On Thursday, the USPS was notified that a contractor found undelivered mail in a dumpster on Galene Drive near Tully Elementary in Jeffersontown. Agents recovered the mail that included 112 absentee ballots and two political advertisements. All the mail was to be delivered to the 40299 zip code. That is an area primarily in the boundaries of Bardstown Road, Interstate 64, Hurstbourne Parkway and Interstate 265.

All the ballots and political flyers were returned to the USPS and delivered to customers.


Absentee ballots must be returned and postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 3, and received by Nov. 6. Anyone who requested an absentee ballot cannot vote in-person unless they have not received their ballot by Oct. 28. The election board can check the status of a ballot."

PA bakery claims cookie sales have predicted past presidential elections — and here's how it looks for 2020

Because I'm posting this here you can probably guess who's leading the unofficial cookie poll. Trump cookies are outselling Biden cookies by a 3-to-1 margin.

I'm half expecting CNN and NBC to buy 20,000 cookies in the next three weeks to convince us all Biden is leading.

I don't disagree that it is the way you use those platforms. I disagree that those uses represent the lions share of activity on those platforms. For example, I primarily get performing arts on my youtube feed. Rarely does a political topic hit that front page. Normally, I get a political youtube referral from INGO.

I only use Facebook to stay in contact with friends and relatives and we don't talk politics or religion for the most part (almost always avoid it in fact).

Neither of those sites represent my first or second choice when looking for "hard" news. Twitter never has made the cut at all.

If I look at the top 50 people followed on Twitter, politics isn't the primary area of concentration. Sure Barry and Donald are there, but so is Kim Kardashian, WizKhalifa and RealMadrid. Perhaps the political wonks are ruining the site for the majority of users?

How often do you see a news article referencing Tweets? I, for one, see it all the time.

About as valid as any other poll.

As a rule, not very often outside of INGO. Oak River believes that Tweets are pictures though, so he posts tons of them in the funny political pic thread CONTINUOUSLY.

Seriously? Nearly any article which includes Trump is going to include something about one (or more) of his tweets.

 

[Alpo]

I try to get my news from Hoity Toity publications that believe Tweets to be benath them.

When Kim Kardashian's name comes up or her short husband's name (can't remember it right now) and Katy Perry makes it into the top 10 followed.....it's something that I cannot waste my time on.

Then you must avoid politics as a rule. If I am reading on video games or astronomy I won't see any. If it is political, it will often contain some.

I read "real" newspapers. I think I may have listened to one or two podcasts in my life. I'm sure it never got as high as three.

INGO is my "politics". Other than here, it doesn't come up very often.

Associated Press: Mass Mail-In Voting Has Led to ‘High Profile Errors’

They left out the word "daily". This one was reported just today: Over 100 mail-in ballots found in Kentucky dumpster

Ah... "newspapers"... that explains it. I remember those...

It is frustrating to try to find news from from alternative sites that is not chock full if reports of who tweeted what...

Is the Clinton emails being released into the Middle East a Trump State Department election ploy?
Are we having fun or what!

On a slightly related note, on FB, a liberal left loon former coworker was railing on how some vote boxes in CA were set out illegally and the Republican party who set it out was forced to remove them. the Repubtards are trying to steal the election! See how corrupt they are!!!

I spent the next 60 seconds collecting about 10 stories about voter fraud, and surprise, they were all Dems. So I told him to quit acting like his Dems' poop dont stink and posted the links. Along with a link to the Heritage Foundation's searchable database of voter fraud. (surprise, most of them are dems)

Well they are all invalid and he refuses to read them because they are all right wing sources like Breitbart, DailyCaller, etc. He insisted they were fake stories. "because if they were real, the likes of the WSJ, NYT,etc would have covered the stories, but they didnt. (Im sure they did but Im not about to pay for a subscription so I can search them out)

I pressed him and asked if he thought the names were made up, arrest records faked, court cases faked, etc?

He didnt like that. In the end I was called a F*face and he blocked me. (after I unfriended him) So does that mean I win? LOL

Oh, and to top it off he typed "your a **** " and I corrected him with *You're. I think that was the final straw.

Some of these lefties are absolutely nuts.

This is hilarious. Video from a joe Biden rally, camera pans out and you see a giant teleprompter as he’s reading the lines.

Where is the crowd, there is no one there. A couple days ago Biden and Harris made their first appearance together since the convention and there were less than 10 people who showed up.

Trump had 25,000 in Iowa a couple days ago.
