I know everyone wants constant updates on the upcoming US election, and if you haven’t figured this out by now, that’s not really my shtick. However, I will offer a couple factors that could influence the outcome of this election.
First, we’ve got the severe damage to infrastructure in the swing states of Georgia and western North Carolina caused by Hurricane Helene. While this might not seem like something that would impact the election, these highly Republican areas are sensitive to voter turnout, to the point where a few thousand votes could change the result.
The bigger factor to watch is organized labor and the business community. Neither of these factions are fully aligned with a major party, so that puts a lot of votes up in the air. Expect these factions to act as swing voters and introduce a hefty amount of volatility to the political landscape.
