Will Biden be able to generate enough excitement for folks to stand in long lines to vote?

From what I’m deducing, about 80% of Biden’s hay is in the barn. Whereas, around 65% of Trump’s vote is in.

I think it comes down to whether Biden supporters who haven’t already voted - obviously the least motivated group of voters - will extend the effort to get in line.

They already voted via mail.

I don’t think enthusiasm is as big of a factor in a year where you don’t have to actually get off your arse to vote, especially in the swing states.

Fervent anti Trump hate will vote.or has already voted.

This is not enough to win.

Beyond rhat his support collapses.

However the DNC using registered voters lists to cast the ballots for everyone else.

I misread "excitement" as "excrement" and quickly answered, "Yes."

Probably dumb for thinking this, but the lines on election day will probably be super long. How will that work when a few thousand people are in line when polls close?

On the flip side, tons of people have early voted so in theory, the lines should be shortened on election day.

I think if the weather isn't perfect and line length is long, Biden "supporters" will stay home.

Polls stay open as long as the people were there before closing time.

based on excitement? no, but they won't get their check if they don't stay in line and vote

If you are in line when the polls close, you get to vote.

No which is why the left has been pushing the “local races are just as important to our survival REEEEEEEEEEEEE!l” narrative as of late.

Not sure what the process is on filling out a mail in vote, but having to read the instructions, fill out with pen manually, put it in an envelope and drive to a designated drop off point seems like a lot more work. The government is involved, so I’m sure the process isn’t as easy as it may seem.
Some of these states are sending main in ballots to every registered voter, whether asked to or not.

Unless there is truly an EXTRAORDINARY turnout, then only roughly 40% of the electorate from 2016 will be voting on election day.
