Nothing disappoints me as much as Ketanji Jackson, when I heard her question I fell out of my chair. What goes on in chambers and behind the scenes. Is she reading tea leaves and is sure that Trump will win the election? Is she afraid for her safety and that of her family.

Nothing disappoints me as much as Ketanji Jackson, when I heard her question I fell out of my chair. What goes on in chambers and behind the scenes. Is she reading tea leaves and is sure that Trump will win the election? Is she afraid for her safety and that of her family.
Between voter roll purging, voter suppression and nullification legislation, moving Trump boxes, the refusal of honest people to work as election officials, defaulting to Trump humping volunteers, armed poll watchers. I can only hope for a miracle., and I don't believe in miracles.
Going into the first Tuesday in November it takes 270 electoral votes to win.
Red states have 235
Blue states have 226
The swing states of 2020 are no longer swing states. Georgia and North Carolina, have enacted Voter suppression laws.
Here is a map of states that have enacted restrictive voter laws since Holder v Shelby
The Swing states are Arizona 11 votes, Michigan 15 votes, Nevada 5 votes, Pennsyltuck 19 votes, Wisconsin-10 votes
Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin have Republican Legislatures, which is important, because if the vote gets tossed to the states, which is very possible, then those three states have 40 votes, making 275, five more than 270.
The only swing state that has a Democratic Legislature and a Democratic Governor is Michigan and yet it is a Swing state, because of the mercurial voters, especially the Muslim population.
In Pennsyltucky, the Republicans control the House but the Democrats control the Senate and the Governorship,
In Nevada the Democrats control the House and Senate but the Governor is a Republican
In Arizaona the Republicans control the House and Senate, but the Governor is a Democrat
In Wisconsin the Republicans control the House and Senate, but they have a Democratic Governor.
As of February 9, 2024, there are 23 Republican trifectas, 17 Democratic trifectas, and 10 divided governments where neither party holds trifecta control.
A trifecta: One political party holds the governorship, a majority in the state senate, and a majority in the state house in a state's government.
Of the trifecta's the only swing state with a trifecta is Democratic Michigan.
And the critical county there is Wayne County.
The 2024 election could be decided by the Supreme court, and we know how that will go.
The Arizona Republican state Senate passed SB 1014, which gives the legislature the power to ignore the voters and select their own electors, and has passed it on to the house. It takes a 2/3rds vote to override the Governors veto in Arizona.
But other states are looking at this bill as well.
None of the five swing states have a veto proof majority
GA and NC were once considered Swing states, as was Virginia, but since the 2020 Election the state legislatures have passed bills, that remove them from that category.
Thank you for your well researched informative response. I live in Oakland County, MI. I just signed up at Daniel Solomon’s suggestion to Field Team 6 to get people registered to vote. Maybe I should start in Wayne County since you stated it was “critical”?
IMO Wayne County is very critical, as is Pennsylucky. Good job Marlo, maybe you can talk some sense into the Muslim community. They may be pissed at Biden, but if Trump wins, even it will get worse. Trump hates Muslims and is butt buddies with Netanyahoo.
Trump has threatened to deport Muslims, even second generation, and with SCOTUS in his back pocket and an obsequious congress he can do anything he wants
