I will say that inclement weather is where voter enthusiasm comes into play. Trump supporters are much more enthusiastic and voting for Trump while Biden voters are voting against Trump. People who actually like the candidate will turn out even with bad weather. Those voting against someone won't.

100% it favors the candidate with enthusiastic support. This cycle that is absolutely Trump.

Maybe historically, but lately, they have been keeping polls open for any possible "issue." It wouldn't surprise me if they gave people rain checks and said come back later, etc. Or if they allowed Biden buses to be used for transport and shelter.

Considering most republicans have yet to vote, no, it doesn't favor republicans. It makes it harder for people to get out to polls.

Jesus Christ could be resurrected in front of me tomorrow and I'll still stand in line to vote

Seems like the weather nationwide on average is looking pretty good tomorrow.

If you don't go vote because of the weather, then I submit that you might not be the kind of person we need voting, regardless of party.

No because half of the democrat votes are fake. Blue states don’t even ask for ID. Dead people will have a 100% turn out.

Why?


The side which tries to bank more of their votes on a single day is more vulnerable to weather effects than if the one that spreads it out. This year a larger portion of the democratic electorate is banked already because the Democrats have pushed a vote-early including vote-by-mail strategy, so election-day weather will have a smaller than usual effect. Republicans have started throwing shade on mail-in voting this cycle and more have been telling pollsters they plan to vote on election day than we usually see.

Yeah but we are expecting to win tomorrow by like 50% more than we usually win on election day (at least). So I don't want longer than normal lines or delays - especially if it allows ANTIFA or BLM to harrass our voters.

Bad weather allows for rain jackets that would further hide features and weapons.

I want warm and sunny everywhere. We have way more to lose than Dems do tomorrow.

Is weather supposed to be bad anywhere tomorrow? Other than snow in upstate NY and a little rain in Az the nation is clear today

It usually favors Republicans but not this year.

Why?
———————————————————
Because IMO Almost all of Biden/anti-T
Voters have already cast their vote - could not wait to do so .
The vast majority of tomorrow’s voters will be Trump supporters like myself who like to vote in person on Election Day.
