[The Vote]

With 7 days to Election Day 2020, here's the news that you'll want to know:

(1) will it all come down to Pennsylvania and Florida? <[link removed]

-keys-to-victory>

(2) Supreme Court rules Wisconsin won't count mail-in ballots received aft=
er Election Day -- one estimate says it could affect more than 150,000 vote=

(3) Biden defensive about his lack of campaign travel <[link removed]

[The 2020 presidential election could come down to Pennsylvania and Florida=
-- and it's a close race.]

"The importance of Pennsylvania was seen plainly on Monday. Trump held thre=
e rallies in the state, where he bashed Biden, especially on the economy. =
The Trump campaign has sought to reap political dividends from confusion ab=
out Biden=E2=80=99s position on fracking, an industry which is particularly=
important in southwestern Pennsylvania." (The Hill <[link removed]
m/homenews/administration/522868-the-memo-florida-and-pennsylvania-hold-key=
s-to-victory> )

=E2=80=A2 What's happening: As political analysts look ahead to next week'=
s election, it seems like the presidential race may come down to Pennsylvan=
ia and Florida.
=20
Right now, as The Hill reports <[link removed]
ation/522868-the-memo-florida-and-pennsylvania-hold-keys-to-victory> , Joe =
Biden holds a narrow 2-point lead in Pennsylvania, and one Democratic consu=
ltant said Florida's results will be a "nail-biter."
=20
=E2=80=A2 What's at stake: The 2020 election, of course. Here are the fact=
ors that help show how the campaigns are prioritizing the states -- and wha=
t it means for the election next Tuesday:
=20
-- Yesterday, President Trump held three rallies in Pennsylvania while Joe=
Biden made a small visit <[link removed]
522868-the-memo-florida-and-pennsylvania-hold-keys-to-victory> . President =
Trump has emphasized Biden's comments on energy in Pennsylvania, home to th=
e Marcellus Shale -- which has boomed in natural gas production since the a=
dvent of hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
=20
-- Biden's polling lead in Florida and Pennsylvania was "effectively halve=
d" in mid-October. <[link removed]
-biden-election-polls-florida-pennsylvania/>
=20
-- All fall, Biden has faced news stories about how he's "struggling" in F=
lorida <[link removed]
ters-in-key-state-florida-polls-show.html> . Erstwhile Democratic president=
ial candidate Michael Bloomberg is now reportedly $100 million in the state=
in support of Biden <[link removed]
ons/2020/09/29/bloomberg-puts-100-million-in-florida-to-work-with-first-pro=
-biden-ad/> .

[Supreme Court rules that Wisconsin won't count mail-in ballots that came i=
n after Election Day -- could affect more than 150,000 ballots.]

"In a victory for Republicans Monday, the Supreme Court rejected a Democrat=
ic request to count mail-in ballots received after Election Day in Wisconsi=
n. The Court rejected the request, from a group of Democratic voters in Wis=
consin, five to three, with Justice Elena Kagan leading the liberal trio in=
dissent. [...] Democrats believe as many as 160,000 ballots will be receiv=
ed after the election even though they were sent on time." (Washington Free=
Beacon <[link removed]
ts-in-battleground-wisconsin/> )

om/courts/supreme-court-rejects-late-ballots-in-battleground-wisconsin/>

=E2=80=A2 What's happening: The Supreme Court found that Wisconsin will no=
t accept mail-in ballots after Election Day. A previous ruling would allow =
them to be counted if they were received up to six days after November 3.
=20
The Washington Free Beacon has a good overview of the court case at the ce=
nter of many COVID-related election rule changes -- and subsequent legal ch=
allenges -- this year. Check it out here. <[link removed]
s/supreme-court-rejects-late-ballots-in-battleground-wisconsin/>
=20
=E2=80=A2 What's at stake: First, one estimate suggests this rule change c=
ould affect up to 160,000 ballots. That's likely bad news for Joe Biden, as=
Biden voters are "twice as likely than Trump supporters" to vote by mail. =
<[link removed]
-2020-biden-voters-twice-likely-vote-mail-survey-finds/3394795001/>
=20
Second, precedent in one state's case may affect decision-making in others=
. We also speculate that there will be a lot of legal wrangling after Elect=
ion Day, so we wouldn't rule out any issue resurfacing.

[Biden defensive about his lack of campaign travel.]

"'The reason it looks like we=E2=80=99re not traveling =E2=80=94 we=E2=80=
=99re not putting on superspreaders,' Biden said when asked about his 'ligh=
t' campaign schedule. 'We are doing what we=E2=80=99re doing here. Everyone=
is wearing a mask and trying the best they can to be socially distanced. I=
t=E2=80=99s important to be responsible.'" (Fox News <[link removed]
om/politics/biden-defends-low-key-campaign-travel-schedule-says-hes-not-ove=
rconfident> )

ends-low-key-campaign-travel-schedule-says-hes-not-overconfident>

=E2=80=A2 What's happening: As we've shared with you, Joe Biden has been m=
issing from the campaign trail for much of the fall -- taking a much more l=
ow-key approach to the presidential race than recent nominees have. As Nati=
onal Review noted, at this time in 2016, Hillary Clinton held 17 events in =
four states. <[link removed]
-completely/>
=20
Biden (finally) addressed the issue yesterday, saying the lack of travel w=
as due to COVID.
=20
=E2=80=A2 What's at stake: There's no rule about how many campaign events =
a candidate must hold. But Biden, largely absent from the campaign trail th=
is summer and early fall, just seems to be less visible as Election Day dra=
ws closer.
=20
It's also worth noting that although Biden himself is not traveling, Kamal=
a Harris as well as both Biden's and Harris' spouses have been busy. So it =
seems like it may be unique to Biden that he has mostly remained in Delawar=
e in the final lead-up to Election Day.

[The Vote]

With 7 days to Election Day 2020, here's the news that you'll want to know:

(1) will it all come down to Pennsylvania and Florida? <[link removed]>

(2) Supreme Court rules Wisconsin won't count mail-in ballots received after Election Day -- one estimate says it could affect more than 150,000 votes <[link removed]>

(3) Biden defensive about his lack of campaign travel <[link removed]>

[The 2020 presidential election could come down to Pennsylvania and Florida -- and it's a close race.]

"The importance of Pennsylvania was seen plainly on Monday. Trump held three rallies in the state, where he bashed Biden, especially on the economy. The Trump campaign has sought to reap political dividends from confusion about Biden’s position on fracking, an industry which is particularly important in southwestern Pennsylvania." (The Hill <[link removed]> )

Read the full story on The Hill <[link removed]>

• What's happening: As political analysts look ahead to next week's election, it seems like the presidential race may come down to Pennsylvania and Florida.

Right now, as The Hill reports <[link removed]> , Joe Biden holds a narrow 2-point lead in Pennsylvania, and one Democratic consultant said Florida's results will be a "nail-biter."

• What's at stake: The 2020 election, of course. Here are the factors that help show how the campaigns are prioritizing the states -- and what it means for the election next Tuesday:

-- Yesterday, President Trump held three rallies in Pennsylvania while Joe Biden made a small visit <[link removed]> . President Trump has emphasized Biden's comments on energy in Pennsylvania, home to the Marcellus Shale -- which has boomed in natural gas production since the advent of hydraulic fracturing (fracking).

-- Biden's polling lead in Florida and Pennsylvania was "effectively halved" in mid-October. <[link removed]>

-- All fall, Biden has faced news stories about how he's "struggling" in Florida <[link removed]> . Erstwhile Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is now reportedly $100 million in the state in support of Biden <[link removed]> .

[Supreme Court rules that Wisconsin won't count mail-in ballots that came in after Election Day -- could affect more than 150,000 ballots.]

"In a victory for Republicans Monday, the Supreme Court rejected a Democratic request to count mail-in ballots received after Election Day in Wisconsin. The Court rejected the request, from a group of Democratic voters in Wisconsin, five to three, with Justice Elena Kagan leading the liberal trio in dissent. [...] Democrats believe as many as 160,000 ballots will be received after the election even though they were sent on time." (Washington Free Beacon <[link removed]> )

• What's happening: The Supreme Court found that Wisconsin will not accept mail-in ballots after Election Day. A previous ruling would allow them to be counted if they were received up to six days after November 3.

The Washington Free Beacon has a good overview of the court case at the center of many COVID-related election rule changes -- and subsequent legal challenges -- this year. Check it out here. <[link removed]>

• What's at stake: First, one estimate suggests this rule change could affect up to 160,000 ballots. That's likely bad news for Joe Biden, as Biden voters are "twice as likely than Trump supporters" to vote by mail. <[link removed]>

Second, precedent in one state's case may affect decision-making in others. We also speculate that there will be a lot of legal wrangling after Election Day, so we wouldn't rule out any issue resurfacing.

[Biden defensive about his lack of campaign travel.]

"'The reason it looks like we’re not traveling — we’re not putting on superspreaders,' Biden said when asked about his 'light' campaign schedule. 'We are doing what we’re doing here. Everyone is wearing a mask and trying the best they can to be socially distanced. It’s important to be responsible.'" (Fox News <[link removed]> )

• What's happening: As we've shared with you, Joe Biden has been missing from the campaign trail for much of the fall -- taking a much more low-key approach to the presidential race than recent nominees have. As National Review noted, at this time in 2016, Hillary Clinton held 17 events in four states. <[link removed]>

Biden (finally) addressed the issue yesterday, saying the lack of travel was due to COVID.

• What's at stake: There's no rule about how many campaign events a candidate must hold. But Biden, largely absent from the campaign trail this summer and early fall, just seems to be less visible as Election Day draws closer.

It's also worth noting that although Biden himself is not traveling, Kamala Harris as well as both Biden's and Harris' spouses have been busy. So it seems like it may be unique to Biden that he has mostly remained in Delaware in the final lead-up to Election Day.
