actually has any impact?

Negative campaigning  can sway  voters who lack critical thinking skills.  
 

The most frightening fact of humanity is that exactly 50 percent of the population has an IQ under 100.  Your last post tells it all. 
 

Get out the vote efforts cost money and they make a difference. Rallies cost money and they made a difference in 2016 for Trump.

That is a major problem.  Low information voters who reward elected officials for failure. SMDH.

I have seen it mentioned that looking at demographics of voters the biggest factor is the number of single females voting D.

 

Now that does not particularly surprise me but I wonder what the consequences will be.

I liked the original republic when each state determined who was allowed to vote.  Limiting the franchise to those who have  to pay a tax bill, make a payroll, pay a mortgage, defend the country, prevent a mob from burning a city, rescuing people in a burning building,  etc seems like good policy versus granting the franchise to people who play video games all day in mom’s basement. 
 

A passing grade on the  2008 USCIS civics test should be required to vote in each state.

I’ve heard the same thing. 2022 is the  year woke females under 25 discovered the definition of a woman.

Single (or married) females who vote D aren’t producing enough babies to overcome the death rate. Seems like they are an endangered sub species given demographic  trends. 
 

I wish each state left the abortion laws to people who have wombs (fna as women).

The only way he could run is as an independent..... which would split the massive dems' low information vote.

We are.

 

I meant worser and worser.

 

Fetterman won while speaking zero coherent words, making Biden actually look like a good speaker.  I wonder if he will wear his hoodie to work?

 

Why are all these outstanding votes still out there?  Why can't ALL states put out results within hours like Florida does?

At least Fetterman is alive

[Mike E 11,741]

If Fetterman is the nominee, I’m voting for him. Burn it all to the ground.

Lots of reasons why they can't put out results. Mainly money I think. Also for MD they didn't want employees counting before election day. Judges ruled they could, but counties such as mine kicked off about it and now it could take until next week to count them. There was quite a lot of those ballots, as by mail is very popular and easy here. Most everyone I know voted that way. There was one time we had significant delays and basically said the employees needed to go home by a certain time, because school was in the morning. All I can tell you, from my husband's perspective at least, voting at schools and colleges often go awry, usually because there is a great deal of dysfunction behind the scenes. We had delays at a few schools on election morning, lag in machines caused passwords not to be entered in properly. As of this afternoon my county has still not tallied any mail in ballots.

Hey, look at the bright side: Pennsylvania also elected a dead guy.

There's a lot of stupid laws involving voting.

 

Way back this guy won in jail.
