In readings today I see a couple different articles from a couple pretty savvy Democrats - savvy in the sense that they've been a pretty consistent weather vane for the commies. James Scarville and one of their pollsters have both written articles taking the Dem machine to task regarding what is going to backfire on them. The Stalinistas are at risk of losing a monstrous chunk of their Hispanic vote, and their mainstream base is completely put off by the pandering to the loud-but-minority "wokeness." The pollster also mentioned one thing about the conservative (little 'c') base, many of whom may follow Trump or a Trump-approved candidate:

They really dislike being polled.

So there is always an undercurrent of doubt that makes them nervous as hell (this is a perk). So while some painted-red Conservatives of the Paul Ryan stripe are going to "vote at it harder" the Stalinistas are thoroughly motivated to cheat at it harder because they don't know the size of the shark under the water.
