What similarities in this sector of the universe do you see between Palin and Harris aside from the fact that they are both women?

Oh, don't underestimate him. He'll see it as a challenge. And you know how bigly he is when challenged.

Geoffrey, I kinda get your comparison about Palin. At the VERY beginning, she seemed a viable female VP candidate, and there was much rejoicing... I myself thought, "Well that's just cool. A woman or a person of color in the White House."

But I hope you'll acknowledge that it didn't take even a week to demonstrate what a horrific choice that had been. I mean, let's call a spade a spade... even 45 didn't ask her to be in his administration, no matter how well she'd have fit.

so, wouldn't it be better to promote advance voting and absent voting ?

Unfortunately it's been established is that Trump can do any illegal thing he wants to if both houses of Congress are not willing to hold him accountable, and the Senate is not.  If Trump wins and there is evidence that a substantial amount of mailed-in ballots did not get counted because they arrived at their destination too late, then I'm sure there will be piles of lawsuits.  But with the McConnell-stacked courts and the Republican-leaning SCOTUS, it's doubtful whether that would make a difference.  I do imagine a scenario where there is no immediate winner declared and much arguing about "late" ballots and whether they should be counted.  It's not an exaggeration to say this may be the most important Presidential election in US history.

Whatever, Colin Robinson. 

Kamala Harris’ record as a prosecutor has things that give law enforcement reform advocates pause, but her tough on crime stances were pretty mainstream and centrist 10 years ago, and she still managed to piss off the police unions for being more lenient in other areas.
