I have been following polls closely and I seem to be less optimistic than a lot of Harris supporters in this sub. I'm concerned that Harris could lose key swing states for the following reasons: 

North Carolina: Asheville and other dem-leaning regions hit by Hurricane Helene are going to have a lot of trouble voting. The infrastructure may not be there by election day and, understandably, it's hard to get people to vote if they're struggling for basic necessities. The number of people who may not be able to vote or don't vote because of the ongoing crisis could be great enough for the state to go red. 

Michigan: I have a few friends here and they all think that the vast majority of Arab voters who were previously strong democrats are either voting third party, not voting, or voting for Trump even with the switch from Biden to Harris. It's hard to imagine anyone changing their mind with the crisis in the Middle East getting worse every day. This could be a big enough voting bloc that the state goes red. 

Georgia: There is so much voter suppression, gerrymandering, and shadiness around voting that many people may not get out to vote, be discouraged by long voting lines, or find out that they are not actually registered voters on election day anymore. Dem voters not able to vote on election day for whatever reason could make the state go red. 

Combine all this with the fact that Trump has historically outperformed polls and I'm definitely worried. I've talked to a few of my political wonk friends about this and they agree that all of these scenarios are likely. I am feeling more optimistic about Harris winning PA, WI, and maybe NV, but I think she needs at least one or more of the above three states to win even if she wins PA and WI, right? Please share your thoughts, especially if they are more optimistic than mine.
