Does bad weather tomorrow at the polls favor Republicans

I say yes.

Um no, doesn't favor Republicans at all

It has historically but this year with so many early votes - and that favoring Democrats - I'm not so sure. It will reduce election day Democrat votes but Republicans need to show up in force tomorrow and bad weather may reduce that somewhat. Which would not be a good thing for Trump.

It usually favors Republicans but not this year.

Weather looks perfect almost nationwide. Anyone who plans on voting tomorrow wouldn't be deterred by weather anyway.

It makes it harder for Antifa to light fires, so yes.

Yep. I think people from both parties will be voting no matter what

The forecast for tomorrow where I live is sunny with a high of 75. My concern meter is at zero.

They’ll counter the bad weather with strategically placed car accidents and breakdowns in red areas.

Again I go back to my ACLU-member political science professor in college, who said that usually GOP voters will vote no matter what while Dem voters have to be persuaded.
So if there is extensive foul weather, I think the GOP will have most of its voters turn out, the Dems not so much.

Looking at radar for tomorrow there is almost no rain expected nationwide with the exception of possibly in the northeast late in the afternoon as a cold front moves through.

Impossible to answer without specific locations of the bad weather. Generally speaking weather will depress turnout for whichever side is less motivated in any given area.

I’ll have to say yes.
Trump voters are showing up rain, sleet, snow, Anita, whatever.
The yet to vote Progs I am acquainted with are already terrified to go stand in “unmasked suppression lines,” so any other obstacles may be too much for them to overcome.

If tens of thousands will brave the cold just to see him speak, I'd tend to think a massive number of Republicans are willing to brave the cold to make sure their ballot is cast for him.

I’d say not this year

People "voting for" someone are going to be much more enthusiastic than people "voting against" someone, and would be much more willing to deal with bad weather.
With that being said, the republicans definitely have more people voting on election day, so technically have more to lose.

The only place that will have bad weather is New England, and outside of NH & ME (if you consider Collins a Republican), that doesn't really affect the Republicans.
