    This question has been on my mind for a while now, with the economy and culture going the way they are, could unlikely voters turn out and just what impact could they have? I am not a believer in polling but do find some of their findings interesting. If this is accurate it also disproves the idea that Trump is toxic, has peaked in support, and cannot win the election.

    “According to the poll, Americans who are most skeptical of politics and politicians still prefer Trump over Biden. Registered voters who say they aren’t likely to go to the polls backed Trump over Biden by more than 2-1, or 32%-13%. Citizens who are eligible to vote, but have not registered, also favor Trump 28%-15%.“

    “According to the US Elections Project, 80 million US citizens eligible to vote in the 2020 presidential election did not cast ballots, despite a record-breaking number of votes cast overall. Some analysts speculate the total of non-voters could top 90 million Americans next year because of widespread voter dissatisfaction with candidates and the process. That’s more potential voters than Joe Biden received in the 2020 Presidential election.”

    Since most states are allowing these ballots with very little effort made to validate them, they can easily win any election. Until things change I fear we're screwed.

    I agree, what is sad is that just like Chicago, nobody seems to care. It's just accepted that the machine will pick the outcome even though they do hold an election. I remember years ago Jimmy Carter announcing he was going to Africa to monitor the "fairness" of elections over there. I thought, dude, plenty of places you can do that work right here in the states and save the air fare.

    I wonder if that happened the first time Obama ran?

    I think that deceased voters would be unlikely to show up.
    But nevertheless, year after year, they do. Go figure.

    The whole election system is just too complicated for us to understand.
    Leave those things to the experts.

    First off Trump has been such a formidable opponent he has pulled the sheets back on so much exposing their corruption to degrees most of the people had no idea was that corrupt.

    In the last election he brought out such a big turnout that the cheating had to go to new heights, and that was when he was in a position where he took a lot of shots being the incumbent. He also received more votes than any incumbent ever has.

    Most of the so called experts have thrown their hands in the air, shook their heads, and said they have never seen anything like it, every time he gets indicted he gets stronger. Yet many armchair QB’s still cling to the same notions those experts had.

    As for motivation for unlikely voters, the economy and culture may be reaching a tipping point for many of them, they may feel they need to do something and it is a stark comparison to the Trump economy vs. the bidet economy…

    Great question; it certainly is possible. This isn't the same, but I know more than one otherwise sane person who voted for Obama just because they "wanted to be part of history."

    obama got less votes on his second run than the first, some saw the light.
    What was amazing about 2020 was the fact that "basement bidet" got MORE votes that the historic president ever achieved.
    No Joke™

    Well, it was the first time in modern history thaat Indiana's Electors went for a Democrat. His second election sanity returned. I seem to recall a County-by-County analysis of his first and it was largely due to Laake and Marion.

    That "history" is their gift that keeps on giving. Voters like that will have the distinction of being alive when this country was destroyed from within, with them being one of many prongs that took her down.

    I'm not even sure I know what a fair election is anymore.
    I used to believe that the Deep State allowed us to pick our winners and then corrupted the system. Then 44 beat out all of the mainstream RINOs before beating Billary and her team of arrogant Demoncrats. The Deep State will work harder than ever to ensure an outsider like 44 never gets in again.
