110. I'm not one for conspiracy theories

Mon Nov 11, 2024, 12:08 PM

Nov 11

I think the likelihood of changing the outcome is very small… but I do think something seems weird.
1.) I’ve correctly predicted every election of my lifetime. It’s possible that with the way people consume media has changed so much that they didn’t watch the debates or rallies or news… but it just seemed like she had all the energy and momentum and that usually translates into a win it almost a win.
2.) I don’t know a single person in my life that changed their vote or decided not to vote from 2020 to 2024. Again, I’m not saying that’s scientific, but that’s kind of how I’ve always guessed. My family is mostly swing voters. And who the swing voters in my family go for is usually who the winner is. They all went for Kamala. So it’s just interesting that my Kentucky family went left of the electorate in the swing states.
