David Wasserman joins Andrea Mitchell to sort through the latest numbers on early voting, voter registrations, and explain why Sumter County, Florida, could let us know early on if President Trump's re-election bid is in trouble on election night, as it could serve as ground zero for the "gray revolt" that has Joe Biden leading in polls among senior voters – a group Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. Aired on 10/16/2020.

Why 1 County Could Be An Early Indicator Of Trump’s Election Night Outcome | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
VOTE VOTE VOTE and consider dropping your ballot off directly at the board of elections office to avoid covid 🌊🌊🌊🌊💙😀👍🏻
@Michael S So…You don’t believe justice should be applied equally. You think if you can’t afford to eat, you die. You think if you can’t afford a doctor, you should die. You think if you weren’t born here, you should go back to your country, and die. You believe every life matters, until birth, at which point, if your parents can’t afford to feed you, you should starve and die.
These are the principals of liberals. Equal justice, universal healthcare, choice to end a pregnancy you are ill equipped to handle, respect for human rights, regardless of where you were born. What do you stand for?
What Has Trump Done to You??
Liberals post their ABSOLUTE HATRED for Trump on this site all day, every day; a hatred similar to what they would have if Trump had killed their dog or put them in prison for 10 years for some crime they never committed! Yet, NO American Citizen has yet to share EVEN ONE negative thing Trump has done to them or to their family???? He has not taken away any of your rights or freedoms. He HAS been a strong supporter of the Black community through money for Black Colleges, Business Development Zones and Prison Reform. If you work, he HAS given you a pay raise by way of a tax cut. He has taken steps to get drug prices lower, to allow access to experimental drugs and to protect our borders and to bring our soldiers home and to fix the VA.
So once again I ask, how can people who claim to be “loving & tolerant” HATE someone that they have never even met, so much???
They claim he is “racist” yet provide NO evidence where he has ever said or shown that he HATES Black People or ANY other race? That is what racism is, in case you didn’t know. He has prominent Black friends that have been friends for decades who vehemently deny him being racist. Are they “uncle toms” or “traitors to their race”?? And, he wasn’t considered racist until he ran for President. Why can’t liberals just be honest and admit they HATE??
@Michael S Get it right … https://www.facebook.com/teamtrace/photos/a.1634969030072600/2703803316522494/?type=3
@Steven Badley I don’t click on links in comments. But don’t worry, I’ve got it right.
That’s what I did.
From outside the US this is so weird, looks like seeing a third world Country
@Michael S So you care nothing for any unfortunates, or even people living in cities, you just want war. Is this correct? Hopefully you won’t get far with an anti-American view like that. Careful what you wish for (someone might actually be listening).
No it doesnt – seems like your influenced hy your media tbh.. go ahead and vote Biden LOL
Oh Jesus it is. Just go about 45 minutes outside any major city and you will see real somewhat alive hillbilly’s who spend their weekends shooting weapons
America is far from a 3rd world country. It might be ran by an out of this world moron, but still not third world. If you haven’t lived in an actual 3rd world country, at least go to YouTube
@Michael S Ohio heroin capital of the US. Come now. Easier to clean up poop than cut a junkie off of heroin or fentanyl.
Iam proud of Americans standing up for America, vote trump and his colleagues out of office
I DID THIS MORNING & IT FELT WONDERFUL….WE DESERVE BETTER AMERICA?? SHOW THIS POMPOUS MAN WHO IS IN CHARGE !!!
@g money lol. total fool
@Michael S Sorry, if I’m not mistaken all the homegrown terrorist groups are far right proud guys with beer guts. Antifa is what? Can you actually tell me?
@JJ Strumr You are mistaken. All homegrown terrorist groups are liberals. Antifa is a domestic terrorist group that burns and loots cities and assaults anyone that disagrees with them. BLM are Marxists who command Antifa. BLM and Antifa are the true fascists.
Impossible.
It does not matter if you are a Republican or Democrat- go voting ! It is after all your civil duty and lawful right….
Go vote for either overt or covert white supremacy.
@Ocean Breeze Did you know that in 1931 Maj. Gen Smedley Butler was court martialed or threaten with court martial for slandering Mussolini? https://bennorton.com/vanderbilt-and-mussolini-on-a-murderous-joyride-a-synecdoche-for-the-us-relationship-to-fascism/
But you have to vote TRUMP.
@Trailin’ Annie allowed over 200,000 to die troll, hows that!!
@Trailin’ Annie You’re garbage that isn’t paying attention.
Why people would wait until the last day to vote is beyond me. Election day will be pure mayhem. Get your ballots in to be counted asap! Drop em off, or vote in person, just get the in asap.
The fact that one state, Florida, could potentially decide the whole election is exactly why the whole system is broken.
@J did you kbow that coronavirus had a patent number? You know when something is patented? When it is MAN MADE.
@Ruth Bladder-Ginsbag This really isn’t true. Without the Electoral College every person gets 1 vote and their vote counts for exactly 1 vote. Do you think every single person in California and New York vote blue in every single election? Because they don’t. With our current system every red vote in every blue state doesn’t matter at all. Eliminate the Electoral College and almost every state would become some shade of purple, where everyone’s vote actually counts. We really need direct ranked choice voting and we need to get rid of first past the post and the Electoral College. Those changes would make our country much more like an actual democracy. And if there are more Democrat votes than Republican votes in the country than maybe that means Republicans don’t speak for the majority of people and they should compromise on some of their platforms. 🤷🏻♀️
@initiall If there was any justice, the Clintons would have hundreds of indictments, and everyone here knows it is TRUE. Obama as well, and many others of both parties. Elites of any country get away with tons of crimes and misdeeds. Epstein was flying Clinton on his plane 26 times, has pics with the royal family, Prince Andrew, governors, professors, etc. That is just the tip of the iceberg. QAnon is a bit wacky and shouts unsubstantiated notions, but they aren’t too far off. Dennis Hastert, speaker of the House, got caught up in scandals with boys, Anthony Weiner, etc. Tim Geitner was a tax cheat under Obama. They gave untracked weapons to terrorists and drug cartels. The Clintons have so many friends in jail or “suicided”, it is insane. Both parties are full of corrupt shitbags, so that is nothing new.
We need a 1 country 2 systems policy
God what? alligators, mickey mouse, florida man and uncle manny
VOTE AS THOUGH YOU ARE FENDING AGAINST PURE EVIL BECAUSE YOU ARE!
@dragonsangel7777 LOL i asked the question what *is* pure evil? And all these replies with no argument… im not American so couldnt care less but i think Bidens rascist comments, playjorism and the fact his running mate once ridiculed him shows an element of fakery not to mention your biased media persecuting the man who is leading your country, shook up your court system, actively speaks against the media and corruption within, created jobs, helped your economy, sat down and talked with world leaders without hesitation showing strength, prevented further tensions with north Korea by taking the unprecedented step of rather than invoking further aggravation met with the man and built relations whilst not giving in and still imposing sanctions… but i guess youd rathrr have a leader that says what you want to hear
@Ruth Bladder-Ginsbag they need to leave the kid out of it.
@Trailin’ Annie hasn’t taken away any of our freedoms? He’s suppressed the 2nd Amendment after Obama had expanded it. There’s that for starters.
@Ruth Bladder-Ginsbag my great grandfather was one of the original members of Antifa. Only they used tanks, bombs and bullets to put the fascists in their place. The only good fascist is a dead fascist.
@Lorraine van Lelyveld yep 666
When there are massive lines at advanced poles, it’s never good for a sitting government.
@Trailin’ Annie I don’t have the time or inclination to research, and show you all the vile things the person has done in his life. You wouldn’t believe the truth about this person if it bit you on the nose He said it himself, he could shoot a bunch of people and he wouldn’t lose votes from people like you. Here’s something that I don’t understand about the right. It doesn’t matter how bad he is, if it doesn’t effect you directly in a negative way, it’s ok. He can mock the handicapped, sexually assault women, call them pigs, and lets not forget 218,000 deaths in the US from covid. And those are just a few things. Go in peace.
@G R A your list is toooo short
@Trailin’ Annie SUPER SPREADER TRUMP, HIS FAMILY AND ALL HIS CRONIES ARE CRIMINALS 🤬🤬🤬🤬 NUFF SAID 🧐🧐🧐🧐
@Tina Ghengis RIGHT, JUST LIKE SUPER SPREADER TRUMP’s HEALTHCARE PLAN 🧐🧐🧐🧐
@Tina Ghengis Agreed, but I didn’t want to waste anymore time on someone who would refuse to acknowledge the truth.
The Republicans are holding out for the Electoral College. WTF!!!!

@Trailin’ Annie he’s complicit in 218,000 murders
My fellow American u have no clue wtf u talking about
@Joseph Stumpp the truth hurts
@Bo 2. 4 U really? Are you referring to Coronavirus? He took action before the rest of the west and was branded rascist because of it? Now hes the cause of it?
People who took to the streets for civil rights in the 60s and 70s are now in their 70s and over. These ‘seniors’ may be more independently minded than the republicans expect.
@Trailin’ Annie russian bot
They are mostly all Trump voters now.
@Barrys-Take-Two I’m 62, and I’m voting for Biden. Where do you get your information from?
I am 74 and I voted for Biden and Harris. I may be old, but I am not stupid.
Thank you. I am one of them. I’m 65. I am volunteering at the early polls became there is a shortage. Honestly, I’ll chance getting Covid if it keeps Trump from being elected.
The swing states should not be the deciders in a country of about 200+ million voters

@StickInTheMuds I honestly want it gone period. No matter for what party. Its very outdated. When white rich landowners, with slaves, only voted, and it didn’t account for women or any minorities. It’s completely ridiculous with today’s society.
@StickInTheMuds But the majority, are the ones, who should count the most!! Do you agree to to giving the top prize, to the one who came in 2nd? Say you won lottery, and they gave the money to the 2nd winner? The majority speaks the loudest, because that’s exactly what the most people want in this Country!
California practically runs this Country with NY.
@Kristin Kimberly what you don’t seem to understand is that just because a majority of the country believe in something doesn’t make it right. A majority of the population (as in most other countries) is situated in coastal metropolitan areas. These cities tend to be left leaning. Additionally most of those people receive their news from left-leaning media sources. And so just imagine if the left controls the narrative, which millions of people just believe without question, therefore subjecting the entire country to what they want. Talk about the wrong people having all the power. The electoral college is the only thing that protects states with smaller populations from being subjected to a tyranny of the majority.
An example is more tax increases for the wealthy, a policy supported by many liberals. Sounds great right? Tax the rich, help the poor? But what that ends up doing is causing companies to pack up and leave elsewhere where they can do business for cheaper. Basic economics. So imagine screwing our entire country’s economy because of a misinformed majority that acts on emotion instead of logic? Well, that’s basically communist China in the 50s/60s
May God bless all those who are standing in horribly ling queues to discharge their civic duties and rescue the country that is my favourite democracy from global ridicule, reputation of childish petulance and image of a spoilt brat who has no regard for anyone and refuses to acknowledge his lack of knowledge in areas that he or she doesn’t possess it. I salute you all. You are United States. Go back to being just that. And, as contradictory as it might sound, being the United States is more than just being great or greater. Salute.
Thank you. We are aware and ashamed of our embarrassment before the world, and we in the USA are doing our best to correct this failure on our part. The good people of the USA apologize to all our friends in other nations and assure you we will not allow this to continue, and we will hopefully once again earn the respect of our friends. Thank you again for the love, patience, and support. Namaste.
Thank you for support, this is not the USA that i know and love. It was an honor to be seen as a beacon of hope and goodness.
I voted Biden just because I’m tired of having an incoherent leader.
That’s a liberal right there. Educated.
@Barrys-Take-Two most trump supporters don’t have college degrees so you can officially shut tf up
@Barrys-Take-Two correct I have 2 degrees and 12 certifications.
@Cassandra Suitor Underwater basket weaving degrees with participation certificates. Ya, we know.
@Cassandra Suitor im not trying to troll you, im not American i couldnt care less and your vote is your right.. i am sorry i just cant see how Biden would make a good president is all.. my opinion doesnt count as im not american but to be honest i thought Trump being voted in was a mistake and from afar i believe he proved me wrong.. if Biden gets it i hope he does too either way i love America ur the powerhouse of the west and long may it continue
He admitted it, I want to know who he owes the 400 million to. I don’t care if he thinks it’s peanuts, where is he going to raise the 400 million? American Banks refuse to loan him any money, who is he going to give the money to. That is the question.
It’s easy , when he wins second term he will find a way to swindle.
If he loses, he’ll have to sell everything to pay the Russian loansharks.
If he wins, we’ll be paying.
Trump is soooooooo stupid he didn’t realize that his voter are going to have to stand in lines for hours…he has suppressed his own voters … he doesn’t understand politics or how government works soooooooo very sad for him…lol haaaaaahaaaaaaaxzzz hhaaaaaa
N
@Anne C .
No sorry Anne that won’t happen no matter how bad the weather… For the Trumpanzees voting is life or death.if Democrats voted with that much emotion and anger the republicans would never win another election.
@Sean Francis It doesn’t matter. I’d walk through the gates of heII to vote against creepy Trump lol 🤭
Trump don’t care if he win or lose because he intends to hold on to power.
@A Bite Of Life, I completely agree with you about what you said about Democrats, I’m sorry to say…They (the politicians) never play offense always defense, so voter turnout for them are low, it’s so frustrating & maddening…All the older generations in Congress and states & local governments need to go. In their heads, their old mentality and way of thinking is not representative of the 21 century.
It’s over, they should retire and go enjoy all the money they’ve made over the too many years they’ve been there. Am I to harsh?
How old are you? You write like a petulant child.
I done my per mail-in ballot, I wasn’t solicited when I registered to vote because I decided this year I am going to vote because I didn’t register in 2016 because I didn’t like Hillary or dumb dumb and I like many others thought Hillary was going to win it and boy was I wrong, so I finally registered I haven’t been registered to vote since 1988, where I voted for Ross Perot so I believe oh, thank God I have grown and seen the error of my ways voting for him even though he would have been better than Trump I think, anyways they asked I want to do mail-in voting when arrested I said yes it came yesterday I filled it out and I mailed it today…. Biden 2020
Thank you Jon …joe from Pennsylvania 💙💙💙💙💙
@Joe Galati hey I’m from Pennsylvania as well, I live in Washington PA I don’t know if you ever heard of it or not but it’s about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh
@Jon Mack Scranton…northeast. went to college with guys from your town and plum boro…comes to mind also. Little different accent there😁😁😁😁😁still love you guys as fellow Pennsylvanian’s. 💙
@Joe Galati yes the Washington County accent is a variation of the Pittsburgh accent, instead of saying yinz we say youans…lol and a lot of people don’t call Washington Washington they call it warshington…lol
@Jon Mack I love it. You brought me back to my college days when I first met someone named Carl from there and he said youns….i thought he was a foreighner. Wow!!! I love the feeling you gave me of fondness of those great days at Bloomsburg. Thank You Jon.💙💙💙💙💙
Biden = hope for life and America. Trump = division and death
@Happy Guy what does this mean ? Not following. Modern democrats knock down traitors and a president who died in 1865 ? Real question. I read your message and genuinely have no idea what on earth it means
@CleverAussie it’s what he’s smoking.
@DJK2019. What’s the financial cut been of the all the Trump offsprings ?
PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW STONES!
@Deborah Gray if you own a small business and make over $400.000 a year you will be taxed under Joe 300030 and Kamala .Small business won’t be able to hire workers.
Increase in taxes will be done under a pandemic do you agree ?
@Leah Archambault No, honestly Bidden is not the father of Ivanka. You’re mixing up your kids.
Just because a person is a registered republican doesn’t mean their voting for trump or any republicans. ijs
You got s beer from me for that comment! I mean literally😀
@Hey Hayes my grandma and grandpa are Dems and they’re voting Trump. So the good guys are up 1.
It’s RED for me.
Just because a person is a registered Democrat doesn’t mean they are willing to accept being lied to by a corrupt, criminal Presidential candidate,…. but they will.
@Richard Tschida BS. If you like your plan, doctor, insurance you can keep it. You have to pass the bill to find out what’s in the bill. I didn’t sexually assault Tara Reade. I’m running for senate.I never talked to Ukraine investors for Hunter. If like socialism vote Dementia Joe because that’s where he’ll take us.

@Trailin’ Annie
You don’t really expect me to read all that, do you?
@red Buoy no we didnt.
SUPERSPREADER TRUMP is telling seniors that they don’t count.
@Trailin’ Annie he discriminated against what he called “coloreds” in Queens, NYC, in the late 60s in his first big real estate venture with his evil KKK-member father.
You spelt it wrong its ….. THUPER THPREADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OHMAGAWD…Or ppl like him that much theyd take the risk
All Sports Officiating 👈🏼 Really, Fake Page Troll. ⚠️
You poor diluted little person!!
@Richard Tschida Uh, you poor *deluded* little Trumper.
