Harris ‘resets’ electoral map, moving three states in Democrats’ favor

A nonpartisan election handicapper has updated ratings for three states in the 2024 presidential election cycle, shifting them toward Democrats after Vice President Kamala Harris became the party’s nominee for president.

Sabato’s Crystal Ball is now moving Georgia into the “toss-up” category, and Minnesota and New Hampshire are now rated as “likely Democratic.” Georgia had previously been identified as leaning Republican, and Minnesota and New Hampshire had been identified as likely Democratic.

Georgia has 11 electoral votes, Minnesota has 10, and New Hampshire has four. The election projector now shows Democrats with 226 electoral votes from states at a minimum leaning Democrat, while Republicans have 235 electoral votes from states that at least lean Republican. There are currently 77 votes in play from “toss-up” states.

In rationalizing the change in ratings, the group said in the weeks since Harris “emerged as Democrats’ standard-bearer, she has ‘reset’ the electoral map to some degree” after polling better than President Joe Biden before he ended his 2024 run. Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN), Harris’s newly announced running mate, state also shifted toward the Democratic ticket.

“It appears that at least in the short term, Harris has reversed the slippage — or has at least been able to stop the bleeding — that Democrats have seen since the Biden-Trump debate in June,” J. Miles Coleman of Sabato’s Crystal Ball wrote.

“Looking nationally, Harris currently leads in all national polling aggregators. When Biden left the race, he was generally polling behind Trump. Harris making the race into more of a 50-50 proposition means we should adjust our own ratings to better reflect the state of the race,” he added.

If this country is so mentally ill as to put these two far-left radicals into power, it’s already reached the point of self-destruction and is beyond salvageability.  Interesting how all the voter concerns about the border, crime, inflation, our weakening position abroad and runaway debt suddenly dropped down the rabbit hole when the cackling hyena stepped onto the stage.

This should read, 'Trump is now moving Georgia into the "toss-up" category'.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

The Democrats only have to work the steal in six states. All told, that can probably be accomplished with a couple hundred thousand bogus ballots or even less if the algorithm switches votes or allocates them on a percentage basis to match the polling point spread.
Now look again at the map, and you will see the 'toss-up' states are familiar names from 2020...Georgia, with the "broken water main" allegedly stopped counting, as did the others for various reasons, within an hour of each other, delivering sudden jumps in Biden votes that either put him past Trump, or close enough to catch him with minor adjustments. It only took about 250,000 ballots allegedly for Biden to pass trump, and some of the margins were in the low 5 figures. In GA, expect nothing to be different from last time, ditto Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan.

Easy Peasy, and they know how to do it, and it will be used until it doesn't work.

That's why all the Kamala hype, to prepare you for accepting the 'upset'.

No way this race should be anywhere close to close.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
