Election 2024: First glance, so far so good ...
I'm a bit nervous about getting ahead of myself, but as exit polls and first results come in, so far, so good.
First, the funny stuff:
Did Jill Biden just vote for Donald Trump?

BREAKING: Joe Biden will NOT attend Kamala Harris's election watch party. Even Biden knows it will be a depressing scene, and he wants to go to sleep in peace.

Is Jill Biden telegraphing a certain message to the public? Where does one even find a red suit like that, perfect in hue?
And is Joe Biden counting on a Kamala loss, or if it's a win, prefers to nap about it and wake him when it's over?
Hillary’s gotta be secretly hoping Trump wins right

Meow!
Meanwhile, the mainstream media is focusing on every little county where Harris seems ahead, not paying much attention to the broader picture, which shows, thus far, Trump significantly ahead in the popular vote. NBC is focusing on Hamilton County, Ohio, which shows Harris slightly ahead, with a sea of other counties showing a bright red disposition. Sure, one may be urban, the rest of the areas rural, but it's not that urban, nor that big in population. Then they went to Duval County, Florida, which normally votes Democrat -- showing Harris slightly ahead without the vote counted.
The broader picture, though, is this:
BREAKING: Florida Republicans now lead the state by OVER 1.2 MILLION VOTERS !!!

The other thing they're doing is ignoring all the claims of cheating shenanigans in swing states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, their so-called "blue wall," singling out one of President Trump's tweets -- this one below -- to claim that the president is making that claim "without evidence," the NBC correspondent telling Lester Holt they searched and searched, when clearly they didn't.

President Trump, see, was just making that claim out of the air because he was supposedly losing.
We see what you're doing.
Here are some problems they could have found had they bothered to look:

RUTHERFORD, NJ: According to a NJ voter who sent this video to OMG, 70 E. Pierrepont Ave. in Rutherford, NJ 07070 uniquely uses two voting systems — one that prints your ballot onto paper, and another where voters stand in line to place a printed ballot into a drop box.

Voting machine in Virginia changes “Trump” to “Triump” thus invalidating the vote.

It’s always his name and selection getting messed up. Never Kamala’s.
We all know why.pic.twitter.com/P2ETajsTa0
They all should be looked into.
But thus far, catching them early seems to be helping:

Great example of the @gop election integrity operation identifying a problem before it happens:

Earlier today our team saw that some precincts in crucial Luzerne County, PA, were running low on ballot paper. We activated our volunteers, staff, and attorneys who worked with…
... as is broadcasting the violations as they are seen.
All in all, it actually looks pretty good for President Trump, though such numbers can change.
The Florida figure, showing a much bigger margin of support than in the past has got to be a sign, as are the long lines in even the non-swing states that could flip such as New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Mexico.
Turnout in Republican towns throughout New Hampshire is absolutely off the charts - many are on trendlines to surpass 90% turnout today.

(Yes, it's early.)
🚨 VOTE!!! According to analysis of voting performance numbers as of 9am, Republicans are SO CLOSE to flipping New Mexico RED (about 8,000 votes). But we need to show up and vote. While calling for candidates, I have heard a lot of R's are planning on voting tonight after work…
— Rep. John Block (@RepBlock) November 5, 2024
So, there's reason to hope ... but we've seen this movie before, we don't want to get too optimistic until we have the results in hand. All the same, so far, so good.
Fight, fight, fight!
