Looks like a worst case scenario or a Trump campaign wet dream.

Wet dream. Regardless of who wins, it will come down to a handful of swing states.

6. GA will flip because Vice President Kamala Harris or whoever is chosen as the nominee at the DNC 8/19/24 might not be able to get on the ballot. The same goes for AZ, CA, MD, NC, OH, SD, WV (though the democratic party's presidential nominee and VP nominee will most likely be able to get on the ballots).
CA and SD will find a way. OH will push their date back, but that is only approved after the new proposed deadline. 

GA deadline was July 9th before President Joe R. Biden dropped out, VP Harris wasn't even a thought to the general public at the time.
AZ: 8/9/24
CA: 8/14/24
MD: 8/16/24
NC: 8/2/24
OH: 8/7/24
SD: 8/13/24
WV: 8/19/24
The DNC says they will have a pre-nomination by 8/1/24.

Yeah, this is just wrong.

She'll be on the ballot in every state. Biden hasn't been nominated yet so this has no impact on anything. If it happened after the convention, maybe it would cause issues, but nope. Convention candidates don't apply in regards to the deadlines you are talking about. 



"Appeal from Vance" - That was funny.

On the heels of last week's Republican National Convention, the Ohio senator is the least-liked vice-presidential candidate since 1980, CNN found in a polling analysis.

JD Vance is toxic to Trump's campaign, there's already dozens of examples of this, even Trump allies are worried about him, Republicans don't even like him, in part due to being a massive hypocrite on Trump, he has the rhetoric of MTG but zero charisma, he is essentially a boring version of Donald Trump. Shit even his own state barely likes him. The worst victorious Republican performance in the Class III seat since 1968. The only reason he was chosen was because Donald's sons wanted him and because he has connection to Peter Thiel.

Mike DeWine cruised to a landslide, 26-point re-election victory, Vance appeared on the same ballot — and won by six points. As a recent Washington Post analysis summarized, the young senator “underperformed every other statewide Republican on the ballot by a large margin. Ohio went strongly for Republicans; it did not go strongly for Vance.”

That man ain't doing shit for Trump's campaign, if anything it's FAR more likely he's going to hurt it.

All polling after that has indicated that barely anyone gave a crap about the shooting as well.

I was so bummed when Tim Ryan lost that race, he seemed like the perfect candidate to appeal to blue collar workers in the Rust Belt

His post looks like it was written a week ago and somehow only submitted today. As he said, changes to the predictions will be made in light of new information, so there's no point in discussing something that he himself essentially already acknowledges as outdated and therefore moot.

Even if it was based on pre-Biden dropping out, it was still a bad prediction. Trump wasn’t going to flip 12 states from 2020.

Your lack of faith is why God doesn't talk to you.

May I ask how you think she (or any other nominee third-party or not) will get on those ballots if they aren't on them yet? Major party candidates still have to apply to get on the ballots. That's when that state starts to print the ballots.

I wrote it yesterday, but we can still discuss them since we have all the information so far. But, I do acknowledge that things will change but not because this is outdated though.

That's not how any of this works. The deadlines to submit names for the general election ballots are in August and September depending on the state. You are mistaking one thing for another which would have been quite clear to anyone bothering to do some research and look at the legislation. Let alone think with an ounce of common sense since the DNC didn't even happen yet.

Maybe that's something worthy of consideration beforehand the next time you want to write electoral fanfiction...



 

 

 

 

 

That is a bold prediction Shti. I must say, you got some balls man. We will see how your prediction plays out.
