Name a current Atlas trope that really, really, really won't age well

Georgia (especially) and Texas can be "competitive" while Trump still wins them. Don't immediately say everyone who said Georgia will be a swing state was WRONG if Trump wins GA by 2 points.

This is an amazing prophecy.

the idea that Georgia and Texas will be competitive are the ones that stick out

I love this thread for stuff like this. GA and TX are going to be two of the closest states in the nation.

You're also not talking that big a universe of people who vote absentee in Texas: only over 65s, the disabled, people travelling, and criminals like Bagel vote by mail in Texas. And most of those people who vote by mail do what my mother did and, well, mail their absentee ballot in.

I'm not saying that this move isn't a horrible move, but A. Texas will have one of the lowest absentee voting rates in the US because it didn't expand access to it, B. Texans overwhelmingly vote early-in-person anyway and early-in-person voting was extended an extra week, C. People who do vote absentee can just mail their ballot in and the mail isn't SO slow that it wouldn't get there if you mailed it 2-3 weeks out from the election.
