With the Harris-Trump debate behind us and less than two months left until the November election, there’s dwindling room for any more surprises — but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any. And while most voters already have their minds made up about how they’ll cast their ballots, polling indicates that the race might be tight in the Electoral College, ultimately coming down to a handful of battleground states — even if Kamala Harris wins the popular vote by several million.

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor David Pakman reviews what events might still impact polling projections in the brief time before the presidential election.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

I hate to say it, but another thing that could really impact this election would be if the Republican Party, MAGA, Trump, et cetera, are able to succeed in the planned voter intimidation that they plan to do, purging voters from voter rolls, that they want to do, that sort of thing, they could affect the outcome of the election without affecting the will of the people. But that is not really an event. That is a voter suppression tactic that would do it.

So my sense is that none of what I just listed is particularly likely, that this will remain close through election day, at least as far as the battleground states go. Remember, Kamala Harris is going to win by millions of votes in California. Trump’s going to win by millions of votes in, I guess in Texas, although Texas is looking closer than many expect. But my point is 100,000 to 250,000 votes in three to five states are likely to ultimately be the difference-makers here, and so turn out in those states is the, if you said rank everything, natural disaster, candidate dying, the whole thing, number one for me is who decides to vote in the three to five critical battleground states.
