With just five days to go until Election Day, Democrats appear to have a significant advantage over Republicans when it comes to voter enthusiasm.

According to new polling from Gallup, 77% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters say they’re more enthusiastic about voting than usual, versus 67% of Republicans and GOP-leaning voters who say the same.

That’s a slightly higher level of enthusiasmfor Democrats than they had just before the 2008 election, when that same poll found that 76% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters were more enthusiastic than usual about voting. Barack Obama would go on to win that year in an Electoral College landslide.

    Even if you think he’ll lose, the House (unless the Dems take it) will very likely try to block certification, force a per-state count instead of a per-delegate count, and punt it it to Supreme Court.

    So give as little leeway as possible. The more he loses by the harder his next little coup attempt will be

      When the votes are counted, the presiding officer will be VP Kamala Harris, not the House Speaker.

      And the only way to block a state’s certification is if both the House and Senate agree. Otherwise they have to accept the results certified by the governor.

      The house and the president will almost certainly swing the same way. This is nothing to worry about.
