This election is one of the strangest I've seen since I began following politics. A small percentage of voter’s echo MAGA talking points, such as blaming Antifa for Jan 6 or claiming Donald Trump, who never served, cares for the military as he attended military school despite his comments calling fallen troops "losers” or disrespecting John McCain's service as he was captured.
This win-or-lose mentality was instilled in The Donald by his father. I write off these comments as they tend to represent a small number of people who suffer from lack of the ability to think critically or like the few billionaires have something to gain.
Under these circumstances the term silent majority seems worthy of consideration.
There are many folks who strongly object to government sticking its noses into women’s healthcare issues. Find the notion that wealth somehow trickles down to defy common sense. The notion of electing a candidate who underwent two impeachment proceedings, suffered thirty-four felony convictions for fraud and is currently awaiting trial of several other felony charges some involving treasonous activities against this country unacceptable . These voters can be the unaffiliated, and republicans who have strong feelings about democracy and the rule of law. It is difficult to evaluate who these folks may be or in what numbers they exist. But my instincts tell me they are in the majority. Even though they may find Harris lacking in some quality they consider important, they will vote for her.
I have faith that a great number of women are winnable on the issue of women's reproductive rights. My granddaughter is a communication officer with Emily's List, which is a single issue PAC devoted to abortion rights. She is working so hard, coast to coast with female candidates and she is so encouraged. There are more women voters and they are more motivated, and certainly more likely not to share their choices with spouses, families and friends.
This is not very encouraging overall, but there is some good news in the NCBOE absentee/early vote report: Women make up nearly 52% of early/absentee votes. Men make up about 42%. The remaining 6% is "undesignated" as to gender. Many of these folks probably identify as men or women but didn't check a gender box on their registrations?
Yes, many also feel unsure how it matters in a gerrymandered state. In essence you have to overcome the, perhaps deliberate, attempt to depress the voters and thus the vote. That is baked in for people like the ones I've met with who are just too busy even finding their job to find their polling place.

Have a long way to go. Election on a knife's edge. Younger black men (and women) probably feel neither party helping them.
