"Republicans are clearly strategically putting polling into the information environment to try to create perceptions that Trump is stronger,” said Joshua Dyck, who directs the Center for Public Opinion at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. “Their incentive is not necessarily to get the answer right.”
I really hope this is true because I’m one of those people who believes that Trump 100% has this in the bag no question… Like I don’t even think he’s going to need to use their worst ratfucking plans to ensure it, but that’s another reason why I think he’s going to win anyway. If things look to be going the wrong way he’s going to have people make sure it goes his way and whatever gets up to the SCOTUS will just be rubber stamped in his favor :(
Here’s to hoping I’m just an idiot.
There is no “could” – they are sowing doubt in order to challenge any results. The Donald is a terrible candidate and will do even worse than 2020, and they’re not even trying to campaign at this point, just do enough to launch a protest, or even civil war.
