Don't gorge on polls that show Biden ahead. COVID and voter suppression boost Trump's odds.
What voter suppression looks like. Locked doors at the polling station.
Vote in person if possible. Get there as early as possible. Request an absentee ballot as soon as possible and mail it in asap. In districts where the GOP is expected to suppress voters, Democrats should have lawyers there with video cameras. Make sure your polling place opens on time and remains open until the last minute. Obtain and then mail a mail-in-ballot as early as is legally possible.
Donald Trump intends to steal another election. Don't let him. VOTE!

No matter how promising the outlook may occasionally look for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, remember that President Donald Trump doesn’t even need to win in order to win. He just needs to keep enough voters from casting a ballot to slip through the Electoral College, again. This election is too important to bet it on America’s limited ability to grok statistics. Here’s why anyone who cares about trouncing Trump should pretend the presidential polls and models have all been canceled.....
• No poll can account for the toxic mix of voter suppression, COVID-19 and a president of the United States willing to use every power at his disposal to prevent Americans from voting.
• Trump will lie, cheat and steal in order to keep the one job that prevents him from being indicted — and his party will help him.
• Trump will never stop using his favorite strategy: strategic racism.
• Trump has recaptured his greatest advantage from 2016 — people don’t think he can win.
• Even if he loses, it’s not over. Nov. 3 may see the first presidential election in decades where we won't know the winner on election night, or maybe even election week.
