Democrats have outsmarted themselves on mail-in voting and on election eve are having a Wylie Coyote moment

A sickening feeling is spreading among some of the smarter Democrats that they have royally screwed up their election strategy. The plan that seemed so smart, once they realized that COVID was a golden opportunity to distract from President Trump’s massive foreign policy and economic triumphs, is backfiring.

The plan, in short, was to terrorize Americans with fear porn over the purported dangers of COVID (despite it being 99%+ survivable for all but those over 70, and despite huge progress in therapeutics driving the survival rate even higher), while emphasizing mail-in voting for their base. Republicans, they thought, could be discouraged from in-person voting on Election Day, and with compliant state governors, AGs, and secretaries of state extending deadlines for mail-in votes, the margin of victory could be manufactured in the days afterward

In a series of tweets, Larry Schweikart laid out the plan and why it is collapsing: (elipses and tweet numbers omitted)

Several things began to severely damage that plan. First, the GOP won 11/14 court cases, with the remaining 3 likely headed to the USSC. Most of these drastically limited the time and/or conditions under which these votes can be counted and for how long.

Then the anvil fell. RBG died. That meant that there would be NO appeals related to fraud that could succeed.

This meant that the Ds would be heavily voted out by election day, but also that whoever was still available would have to vote under a cloud of terror

This strategy also dramatically damaged their ability to use fraud, because

ALL. THE. VOTES. WERE. IN.

It also worked against the election day chaos in which DemoKKKrats could "find" votes. With a more orderly (and much smaller) flow of people at a given time, it made it harder for one or two ballot-counters "on the take[' to work their magic. . . .

Will the Mail-In Ballot Push Backfire on Democrats?

Larry Schweikart. Larry Schweikart is a guy from Ohio, I believe, and he is a political analyst. He studied trends in elections for years. He’s always come up with fascinating takes, and he’s got one here on the mail-in ballots. He believes that vote by mail is a gigantic boomerang that could end up coming back and clobbering the Democrats, and the reasons are this:

The disqualification rate for mail-in ballots is very high compared to regular voting. This is another reason why… I’ve had people say, “Rush, what is your big deal about showing up and voting?” Do it in person. There’s no doubt. Show up and vote in person. Forget the virus or any of that. They’re trying to scare you into not voting.

They know. The Democrats know the power of actually showing up and voting at the polling place in person. Do it! There’s no counter to it. That is where an election can be won or lost. It’s called turnout. Now, the disqualification rate for mail-in ballots is very high. We have seen this in the recent past, recent months where mail-in ballots have been used. There are timing gates.
