My understanding is that they have limited impact because most of the western states are not competitive at least in presidential elections.

And in midterms the effects are localized anyway

If you were to believe that it was possible to illegally add mail in votes then that model would work. Everyone new Dems were voting by mail, the argument that by now they knew how much they needed to win so new ballots were added.

There’s no way to keep the results secret and they can easily affect turnout on Election Day. This way all we can go by is how many ballots were returned.

We could possibly pre-process

Who cares? We know that Democrats use more mail ins and therefore count later. We saw that in 2020. That’s an obvious prediction that does not matter

Check out some of the ski stores online and the larger vendors (like Columbia) for previous season gear, especially with coupon codes and stuff. There are lots of pretty good deals to be had up until the season really kicks off in early December.

For example, Columbia regularly has "web specials" with a coupon code. I think the use "OCTDEALS" as the coupon tonight for an extra 20% off anything on https://www.columbia.com/c/web_specials/

If you're not really picky on color/style, you can usually get something warm and new for not that much compared to local stores and warehouses (though possibly not thrift)
