Sad to know there are so many people willing to sacrifice rights for women, minorities, and others, just to be able to say to their racist friends “No, I didn’t vote for the uppity n&*&*r either.”
I've heard from several sources that Republicans are publishing dozens of skewed polls to make it seem as if Trump and Harris are neck-and-neck. These sources include Marc Elias of Democracy Docket and, most recently, Rick Wilson of The Lincoln Project.
The theory is that this would encourage Trump supporters to vote, and if Trump loses (which I expect) would provide more pretext for claiming that the election was stolen from him and filing legal challenges on that basis.
That is exactly what is happening. Note that in my own analysis of the polls, I utterly ignore these particular polls. (They are easy to identify.) I recommend always ignoring poll averages that take all polls into account. Some polling average exclude these bad polls.
(Note that this is a case where "both sides" do it, but this year Trump is doing it at something like 5X normal.)
