VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Supercharge the Election Day Madness.

Insanity Wrap needs to know: Is the tension getting to you?

Answer: Then you’ve come to the right place because Insanity Wrap has the numbers that will make you feel sane again.

Instead of the usual hot mess of crazy stories, today’s Insanity Wrap will drill down into each battleground state to give you a feel for the state of the race — and maybe even a small measure of sanity.

Plus a small measure of the usual craziness because we can’t help ourselves.

Shall we begin?

And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

Plus, an off-topic reminder: Ignore the exit polls and then ignore them some more.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Your No Pants Apocalypse Guide to Election Day 2020. “The one thing that I do know for certain is that people should not pay attention whatsoever to exit polls. They’re garbage. They exist to give brain-dead network news talking heads something to babble about before any real results come in. Don’t get sucked into the madness.”

Ignore the exit polls, and then ignore them some more.

ASTROTURF: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Got a Big Social Media Boost from Indian Troll Farms. “A close examination has revealed unusual patterns. A large number of Twitter accounts that followed Biden’s appear to have been created exclusively for that purpose. And a large number of the users are located in small towns in rural India—in places where English-speakers are rare, and from handles run by people who don’t speak English as their first language, nor appear to be genuinely invested in American politics.”

He’s big in Japan Iran!

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Biden Family Corruption Does Matter. “Their doubts about Biden are rising as they learn more about corruption scandals surrounding Joe’s son Hunter and brother, Jim. The conventional wisdom — on both right and left, among political strategists in both parties — is that voters care much more about the economy and COVID-19. That’s correct. They do, and the polls show it. But that doesn’t mean the scandals are irrelevant. They matter politically for several reasons, all of them bad for Joe Biden.”

If it matters enough is something we’ll find out tonight.

YUGE: Trump Campaign’s Internal Numbers Explain Why Team Biden Is Freaking Out About Election Day.

“Election day is going to look like a Trump rally,” Nick Trainer, the campaign’s director of battleground strategy said on the press call.

“Democrat are really panicking because Joe Biden hasn’t run up a large enough lead” in absentee ballots and mail-in ballots in order to counter the expected Trump turnout on Election Day, Deputy Campaign Manager Justin Clark said. “They know that Trump’s margin on Election Day will make up the difference for victory.”

Therefore, Democrats are working to delegitimize the Election Day results as a “red mirage,” claiming that postal delays with mail-in ballots are giving a false impression of a Trump victory. “None of this will be true,” Clark argued.

Read the whole thing — and don’t get cocky.

WHO? BidenWatch for November 2, 2020. “Before BidenWatch was the Clown Car Update, so I’ve been doing this for almost two years. I’m really ready for a vacation.”

We all are, partner.
