*****BREAKING***** BRUTAL Q SWING STATE POLLS FOR DRUMPF

GEORGIA: Trump 44 - Clinton 43, Johnson 8
IOWA: Clinton 44 - Trump 44, Johnson 4
NORTH CAROLINA: Clinton 47 - Trump 43, Johnson 5
VIRGINIA: Clinton 50 - Trump 38, Johnson 4

Democrat Hillary Clinton wipes out Republican Donald Trump's leads in Georgia and Iowa, where the two are tied among likely voters. She has a slight edge in North Carolina and is pounding Trump in Virginia, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today.

While wide gender and racial gaps remain, Trump's standing among men is shrinking, especially in Georgia and Iowa, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. Clinton leads by margins of 6 to 34 percentage points among likely voters who already have cast ballots in Georgia, Iowa and North Carolina, which allow early voting.

we must be expanding the bus plan to other states besides Pennsylvania.

Rudy's gonna be super-pissed.

I guess dead people can vote absentee six times as easily as they can vote in-person six times.

And hey, the extra gas money is clearly worth it!

We had too many pets, dead people, and illegal extraterrestrial aliens to fit on one bus, so we are going to use taco trucks to help with the overflow.

I documented all the evidence I found here: https://democrattotheend.tumblr.com/post/152388065227/the-election-is-being-rigged

It seems that cats have been plotting on Twitter to rig the election ever since Trump's comments about pussy grabbing came out, and they've gotten dogs in on the plot too. Some of these pets have ALREADY VOTED, as evidenced by all the pets I found wearing "I Voted" stickers.

Otherwise they wouldn't be taco trucks. They just stash thousands of voted ballots from dead people, pets, & extraterrestrial aliens along with the tacos.

Everyone knows that zombies can appear in multiple places at once since the special magical properties of zombiehood allow for this special ability. So Rudy is actually a prophet, warning us of the zombie apocalypse as they only need one bus to equal three busses of zombies, ready with forged living human id to vote. Scary! Bad! Sad!

it goes everywhere at once and collapses the wave function on all inner city precincts. Obama gave all the passengers special federal ID badges that lets them enter a special code into touchscreen voting machines to give them each 100 votes. Make Vote Fraud Great Again.

I've been going with groups from Long Island. Next weekend there will be overnight trips. There are also bus trips from California to Nevada.

I'm a teacher and in my early 60's, so I'm generally exhausted at the end of week, but I'm so glad I've been doing this. It's been one of the best volunteering experiences I've had in my life.

And there's an added bonus: bragging rights whenever the ground game is lauded. One of the precinct captains in PA told us, "You are the vaunted Clinton ground game."

Made me proud.

for such a big lead, which is why that was the obvious VP pick, as it instantly gave her VA and helps with the neighboring NC, as well as other moderate swing states.

Obama only won VA by 4 points in 2012.

Va was probably in Hillary's book to begin with, but as you noted Kaine locked it up.

His being catholic helps nationally, too.

This is one of the standard ways the media works against democrats. VERY solid pick, but the media ignores it.

Pence is a raging asshat, but was a solid pick for a dolt like Trump. But, no better than Kaine.

Who do we hear the most about?

Hopefully this particular fake scandal won't work since it involves Bill, not Hillary. But you never know.

frustrated than worried. Pretty much the only people who obsess over the email stories are those who already dislike Clinton and would never vote for her. Those people are a lost cause. They don't care that the email "scandals" have turned out to be nothing-burgers. They see steam, and automatically assume there is a fire. What I find frustrating is that the news media continues to report on it. They're beating a dead horse, and are doing exactly what the hackers want them to do by shedding light on this story. They're giving credibility to criminals who are pushing an agenda and are trying to interfere with our election.

I foresee this realignment in the coming years due to demographic changes. Hard to believe that Virginia is now a part of the 'blue wall'. I think in the next election cycles, NC and eventually Georgia will join the blue wall.
