Network decision desks are well-equipped to provide critical context to the public: the nature of the votes that have been counted, and what's still out. Without these experienced teams, false claims would go unchecked. And, several key states could be safely callable on 11/3. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Respectfully disagree. The potential for false victory claims is precisely why media organizations *should* clearly communicate results on Election Night - whether they merit a projection or not - rather than hold back. — PolitiTweet.org

Entering October, I've rarely seen this level of consistency in district-level polling by both parties: Trump is running 5%-10% behind his '16 margins, w/ the exception of heavily Latino districts. In heavily suburban districts, his lag is sometimes >10%. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2007, Dems represented 50 of the nation's 100 wealthiest House districts. Today, they represent 79. Turns out, there are other big down-line consequences for Republicans when rich people bail on you. — PolitiTweet.org

Turns out it's not just "Dems have ActBlue." It's also "Dems have a passionate anti-Trump/McConnell base increasingly made up of people with lots of disposable income." — PolitiTweet.org

As numerous people have pointed out, you can also register at one-stop early voting locations in NC thru 10/31 and at your polling location in WI on Election Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

There are lots of potential benefits to a ground game besides voter registration, but at this late date there are only: - 4 days left to register to vote in AZ/FL - 8 days in NC - 18 days in PA - 29 days in WI (MI has same-day registration) — PolitiTweet.org

Tbh, I don't really give a **** about your "both sides!" or "horse race!" complaint when you see data/stories you don't like. My job is to call it as I see it. And sometimes materially important developments in races don't benefit your side. — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear: at the current margins Biden is leading in enough states to win 270 Electoral College votes, this is a drop in the bucket. The registration/ground gap could only start to matter if the race were to tighten significantly. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New for @NBCNews: Trump may be well behind, but he's winning the voter registration battle. Since the primaries, Rs have added a net 444,723 registrants in AZ, FL, NC & PA vs. 225,623 Ds. In 2016, these gains were roughly even. https://t.co/XbwgXsnnM1 — PolitiTweet.org

Strong result for Biden in the swingy Lehigh Valley. #PA07 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Keep in mind, the Clinton campaign barely spent in states that ended up mattering a lot (MI, WI) and was late to PA. The Biden camp has laser-focused its $$ on the core battleground. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Yes, Biden's swing through rural eastern PA/western PA is about narrowing Trump's margins there. But even if Biden just held the line and lost Westmoreland Co. by *the same* margin as Clinton '16 (-31%), he'd likely win b/c of gains in Philly/Pittsburgh burbs. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Beto O'Rourke toured all 254 counties in Texas in 2018. Guess where he made the most substantial gains vs. Clinton/past Democrats? Hint: it wasn't rural TX. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The secret Biden strategists probably won't share publicly: being seen in "forgotten" small towns actually helps you the most w/ suburban voters who haven't set foot in these places in years, but are impressed you did. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Fact: if you were to subtract all '16 votes from Westmoreland Co. (PA), Macomb (MI) and Waukesha (WI), Hillary Clinton would be president today. This is some of the most valuable real estate on the political map, and Biden is hitting it in a way Clinton didn't. — PolitiTweet.org
