sweet 16: things that make you go hmmm…
by frankly spoken
i call these the sweet 16 because they are like the candy of the election.
the following is a list of states to watch for election surprises.
without naming names, these states include tossup states and those that have had recently reported or historic irregularities with voter lists, ballot distribution, voting machinery or vote counting, high use or rejection rates for provisional ballots, recent change in long time “party loyalty” or expected change in voter demographics or behavior, use of caging lists, possibility of so-called “bradley effect”, etc.
basically a big mosh pit of unknown, unexpected, unprepared and unfair:
arizona
colorado
georgia
florida
indiana
iowa
missouri
montana
new hampshire
new mexico
nevada
north carolina
north dakota
ohio
pennsylvania
virginia
that’s 173 electoral votes…
