I listen to Radio Andy on Sirius when I travel and I got to call into Alter Family Politics today. The mom on the show was asking if canvassing this late really matter since everyone has their mind made up. I called and gave the example of the NYT VA10 poll with 10% undecided. So I was able to give Wexton some publicity in my own way lol.

Curious - are there sites that compile the early voting data across the U.S.? I know Texas has one - basically a percentage of the registered voters across the 30 most populated counties, averaged and broken down by county. My google-fu is not working for some reason.
UGH Did not check words.

I voted! Line wasn’t bad, maybe 30-40 min. I feel so relieved. Way to show that baby who’s boss.

Thanks for sharing that richard! I also know that a lot of those were before actual early voting started and if you look at some, they are mostly absentee ballots which are usually higher GOP.

Update from the amazing Dem hoping to fill Freedom Caucus Member Steve Pearce's seat in Congress:
More Dems than Reps have early voted in this district so far, which has never happened, AND, 18% of those Dems who have early voted did not vote in 2016.
It's one of the tightest races in the nation and big on SwingLeft. I might have a glimmer of hope!

Yay!! I was listening to the radio today and a Cramer ad came on. It basically went like: Heidi voted with Obama 96% of the time. Heidi doesn’t approve of the wall. And so on...and all I could think of was that these are really amazing things Heidi has done, I’m so glad Cramer is out there campaigning for her. 😂😂 He, or whoever orchestrated it, was definitely trying to pander to Trumpers and it just made Heidi sound really great.
