New for @NBCNews: Since 2016, Trump's demographic base - non-college whites - has declined 3% as a share of eligible voters. That *alone* could cost him reelection. https://t.co/doyuX0Ohbq — PolitiTweet.org

By flouting public health guidelines, Trump is betting he can generate enough imagery to make it look like “everything’s fine” that more and more voters start to believe it. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s win in 2016 required the gradual normalization of Donald Trump. Trump’s reelection will require gradual normalization/acceptance of living in a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the story I was referencing earlier, and exactly the kind of info PA's first-time mail voters need. In June, 5% of Washington Co. (SW PA)'s mail ballots came back naked. — PolitiTweet.org

This is incorrect. The previous Bendixen & Amandi survey showed Biden up 55%-38% in Miami-Dade. He was up 47%-46% among Miami-Dade's *Hispanics.* Biden likely needs >60% in Miami-Dade to win FL. cc: @Politics_Polls — PolitiTweet.org

Keep in mind, PA does not have a similar uniform cure process. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

@Justin_Riemer Pretty clear that the campaign sued to require counties to toss them, and yes, the PA Supreme Court ruled to interpret the statue in that manner. That's not been the prevailing interpretation of the law in recent PA elections. https://t.co/wHQ7pRUN5O — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Btw, these independent/swing voters also disliked Romney more than Trump and view him as more extreme/far-right than Trump. Linking Trump to Romney/McConnell could actually pay off for Dems. Still not sure Lincoln Project et. al. understand this dynamic. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Remember: the Trump campaign successfully sued to have these November ballots tossed, even though most naked ballots were counted in June's primary. This is deliberate. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

We don't know to what extent education efforts by Dems/others will rein in this %. It's also possible November-not-June voters will be even less familiar w/ mail rules and cast naked ballots at *higher* rates. What we do know: these rejected ballots will be *heavily* pro-Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Just heard from a reporter in western PA who's about to uncover yet *another* county where the naked ballot rate was ~5% in June. This appears to be the norm, not the exception. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Have pollsters taken steps to correct education weighting, etc.? Yes. Could polls still systemically be off by a few points in either Biden or Trump's direction? Absolutely. "100k tossed ballots wouldn't matter b/c Biden's up by more than that" just isn't a very sound argument. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Why this is a big deal: the current @FiveThirtyEight polls average has Biden +4.5% in PA. But their final 2016 forecast had Clinton +3.7%, and it's not unreasonable that tossed "naked ballots" could cost Biden ~1% of statewide margin, no matter the result.https://t.co/p8nrWtmPac — PolitiTweet.org
