we’ll have turnout of 70%+

That's not good enough. Are you afraid of people having their opinions be heard? Without 100% participation you do not have democracy. Voting should be done on the weekend or on a public holiday or held over the course of a week or two. If people don't want to vote they are most welcome to move to Russia. American democracy is hanging on by a thread anyway. If Harris wins January 6th might happen again and the MAGAs will know what they're doing this time. If Trump wins he'll abuse his power and set back international relations (I would like him to tear up the AUKUS "deal" because it sucks for Australia). And with the assassination attempt against Trump we might have the crazies from the other side take matters into their own hands.

Both sides think America is over if the other guy wins. I'm lucky I don't have to deal with this shit in my country (though we are certainly on that path)
