Replying to @Avion28199781
That’s a good question. I assumed eventually the gop would take a turnout % lead. Because they had by this point in 2024 Obv democrats would love to hold a turnout lead to weaken the gop advantage with registration itself
This is a pretty big data point. Data as of last night (eight days from the election) shows democrats with a 7% turnout it lead. At that same time in 2024, republicans already had the lead in votes cast and turnout % There is clearly more enthusiasm on the DEM side #flapol

It took them a few days longer than expected, but Republicans have finally taken control of votes cast However, democrats still maintain a 7% turnout lead, far above where they were in 2024. We will see how this week continues #flapol

But Turek and Kapture have taken hostile messaging on transgender issues. Using them as something to β€œpunch down on” to win brownie points with voters This is way beyond being on the opposing side of a specific policy point.

Sometime after the elections are over, and post-election analysis is done, I'm gonna sit down and go scorched earth on the rise of prediction markets I am going to lead a statistics and religious crusade against these degenerate gambling sites
Brazil elected Lula again tonight. Poll averages appear to have had Lula and FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro effectively tied, maybe Bolsonaro up 1 on Lula β€” so not sure why the markets had this race at 80-20 Bolsonaro. Markets might miss big in the U.S. midterms in 9 days too.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

The far-right is melting down about Brazil's results I have handily edited this Penny Arcade comic to guide people on managing the situation. I didn't have to chance much! The red text is the only things changed.

That’s a 16% swing from this day in 2024. 7 days if double digit swings make a pattern.
