19. IMO, these announcements are dangerous.

Voters on our side not voting by mail take the coronavirus far more seriously than the opposition and may look for an excuse to stay home and not vote. Another negative factor is that with reduced polling places and especially if weather is bad, long lines outdoors will encourage some to just give up and go back home if they think their candidate can't lose.

That's why I fear secretive right-wing media elements are pushing a narrative of "Biden certain to win", to both encourage their lazy ones to vote and to discourage our voters afraid of getting sick.

However on a positive note, every Democrat I know is hell-bent to vote this time even if they have to crawl to their polling place or to a mail box.
