    At least there is a silver lining.
    Global Warming violates the 1st LoT by claiming a magical creation of thermal energy out of nothing, in the form of a temperature increase, which is somehow caused by a magical substance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates Stefan-Boltzmann and black body science by claiming that an increase in earth's temperature is somehow caused by a decrease in earth's radiance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates the 2nd LoT by claiming that the cooler atmosphere somehow heats the warmer earth's surface.

    The Cook Political Report, one of America’s top elections forecasters, has switched its rating of Texas from “lean Republican” to “toss-up” state with less than one week to go before voting ends.

    Cook analyst Amy Walter writes that the movement toward Biden in Texas has been significant enough that it can no longer be considered a safe state for President Donald Trump

    “Texas is a state that Biden doesn’t need to win, but it is clear that it’s more competitive than ever,” she writes. “Recent polling in the state — both public and private – shows a 2-4 point race. That’s pretty much in line with the hotly contested 2018 Senate race in the state where Sen. Ted Cruz narrowly defeated Rep. Beto O’Rourke 51 percent to 48 percent.”

    Adding to the Trump campaign’s potential anxiety about Texas has been a turnout surge thanks to early and mail-in voting, Walter writes.

    “A huge surge in early vote (as of October 26th, almost half of Texas’ registered voters had already cast a ballot) suggests that we could see record turnout in a state that has added many new residents since 2016,” she writes. “That also adds a level of uncertainty to the equation.”

    I am still very skeptical of this.

    And understandably so, it ain’t happening, nor Georgia, perhaps down the road, but not 2020, the Texan GOP has too much of a stranglehold on elections to let it happen

    Are you going to share them to back up your claims about 'misleading' data, or are we supposed to take your word for it?

    You still haven't shared your data. Texas has already shared information showing the astronomical number of 18-29 year olds who voted early.

    Ask me how I know this...
    Hmmm...I thought 'don't doubt me' was your go to line?

    And, like I said in numerous threads, and I even created a stand-alone thread about this, that information is only comparing the NUMERATOR ("astronomical number") against the prior cycle's NUMERATOR (a much lower number)... It is IGNORING the DENOMINATOR of both numbers... But if it makes you feel better, keep on believing the line of BS that you are being spoonfed... Next week, you'll see that it was all just a line of bullshit...

    In all seriousness, this is the smartest post that I have ever seen you make on this forum... although you unfortunately have absolutely no clue as to the reason why you should completely dismiss on it's face what floridafan said...

    Kids are either voting, or they aren't. Spin it any way you wish, but rest assured...

    Plenty of them are, yes... but more of them will vote for Biden than for Trump...

    Thankfully, their share of the electorate is DOWN this cycle, despite the media feeding incomplete information to people. You are now choosing to outright deny mathematics and proper data analysis in favor of holding onto your fervent misguided belief that the youth vote is WAYYYYY up in Texas (and elsewhere)...

    I can only lead a horse to water... I cannot force it to drink the water...
