.
Republicans have been sending out false information to the media about how this could be an early night in an effort to keep Lamb supporters from coming out to the polls and voting, but the Democratic candidate is having none of it.
Republicans are spreading stories like this one from the Politico Playbook Power Briefing, ALERT SEVERAL REPUBLICANS reached out to us this morning and said they expect it could be an early night in Pennsylvania. At this point, GOP insiders involved in the race expect Democrat CONOR LAMB to win Pennsylvanias 18th district. Some RNC overnight data came back, and Republican Rick Saccone is in a tough spot, according to these sources.
It is an old tactic. The GOP is trying to depress Lambs turnout by making it look like Democrats already have the election won.
The Lamb campaign saw right through the deception:

All polling indicators suggest that it will not be a short election night. Conor Lamb may have a small lead, but no poll has placed him above the margin of error. Only in the base case scenario for Democrats polling does Lamb have a six-point lead. The margin has settled into the 2-3 point range. That means that this could be a very close election, as it should be.

Tweet text:
"Dont pay any attention to this. Theyre hoping you stay home, but Conor is counting on every single vote. 6 HOURS LEFT to get to the polls and VOTE CONOR LAMB!"
Just one thing: Please don't post tweets in the 3rd Person. It gives me flashbacks of Twitler.

That's the sick part, it's hook or by crook and their supporters are just fine with it.

who they are now.
Fingers crossed for PA, lets hope Conor wins.
Think of how hard you have to work to get people NOT to vote for their own destruction
if you are middle class, voting for a republican is literally voting for your own DEATH
Isnt it interesting an article about the GOP openly, brazenly LYING about something to INTERFERE with an election, to STEAL an election, is not news AT ALL anymore.
It is assumed they will lie about everything. It is assumed they will cheat in every way possible and nobody even cares.

Not until there are Russian tanks rolling down their streets will they wake the fuck up.
