I believe Democrats, many independents, would walk through the fires of hell to vote this November.

Trump spends all of his time trying to motivate his base. What he doesn't understand is, he has motivated the people that hate him to an unbelievable level, the level of survival itself.

This election will be nothing like the freak accident of 2016. I believe we will see a record setting turnout. African Americans, women are going to be extremely motivated to vote. Trumps base of non-college white males will not be enough to get him re-elected.

Vote too survive That's a hell of a motivator. We will need a record setting turn out too over come the cheating that will occur. If we have a fair election, Trump cannot win.

The probability of dying from Trump's leadership in a second term has risen.

that quite a few Republicans may vote with the same passion against him. The looney tunes righties are lost, for sure, but the Never Trumpers will be onboard.

We needs a MASSIVE turnout!

If you have counted on election 2020 to save us, you best apply some energy to the necessity of free and fair election.

The gold standard is HAND MARKED PAPER BALLOT, VOTER VERIFIABLE, WITH STRONG BALLOT SECURITY, STRONG AUDIT TRAIL. NO APPS, NO WIFI TRANSMISSION, NO OPTICAL SCANNING. NO MACHINES.

States are still buying hackable systrems.

easily, or even notice, to get alarmed and pay closer attention. The midterms, special elections, and primaries are all showing increased alarm and rejection of what the Republicans are doing.

With all this media focus on Trump-the-fall-guy, though, I'm just hoping almost all vote for a clean sweep and very few try to "balance" a Democratic president with Republican control of congress and state governments.

Every day we have a decent caring intelligent very well organized natural leader from Queens NY doing an extensive HONEST ACCURATE update on New York State that is inspirational for the whole country.

Then we have the opposite. A completely dishonest self aggrandizing con man, liar and a cheat
also from Queens NY representing the worst from that section of New York City (instead of the best like Cuomo) who couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. Real trash.

What a contrast. The overwhelming majority from Queens are good decent people, NOT like our national disgrace.

... the doors of city hall, to hand my absentee ballot to the city clerk employee.

Ok, it's not the fires of hell, but I'll probably have to park nowhere near the door.
