Based on 2008 turnout, overcoming a 1% difference in Florida means finding 82,000 additional votes
in Texas 79,000 votes
in Ohio 55,000 votes
in North Carolina 42,000 votes
in Georgia 39,000 votes

(29,930 posts)"based on 2008 turnout." It looks to me like we are surpassing 2008 turnout in a lot of locations.
Getting suburban women to flip party votes will also reduce the margins.
I am cautiously enthused. Wife and I voted on Oct. 13th in Pa. and made sure our ballots made it to the county election office. Pa. will be a big battleground state, I don't care what the polls are saying, it will be close in Pa. I am encouraged because I live in a Trump town and I have seen many more Biden signs in town that I saw Hillary signs. Fingers crossed.
