Dems Fret Over Early Vote, Absentee Ballot Insanity, Kamala’s Cop Out on Crime

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg for a pre-Election Day breakdown on 3 Martini Lunch! They dive into concerns among Democratic operatives over strong early voting turnout by registered Republicans, discuss troubling absentee ballot issues, and cover Kamala Harris evading a straightforward question about a California crime referendum.

After a quick check-in on "Doris" and "Diane," Jim and Greg explore why Democrats are reportedly worried about high numbers of Republicans casting early votes. Are GOP voters spreading their ballots across more days, or is an Election Day surge still on the horizon?

Next, Jim shares a range of unsettling stories on absentee ballot problems, compiled for today's Morning Jolt. From far too many ballots arriving at residences to mail theft and thousands of people not getting the ballots they requested, Jim and Greg point out the potential for problems with mail-in voting and suggest that if we have to have early voting, it should replace most mail-in voting since it is far more secure.

Finally, they react as Kamala Harris sidesteps a direct question on how she voted on California’s referendum calling for tougher penalties for repeat theft and drug offenders. Jim blasts Harris for suddenly going silent after presenting herself as a no-nonsense prosecutor for the entire campaign.
