And Steve King lost, but he still got almost 30,000 votes so. Just wow, Iowa. That part of Iowa is really something. And it is gerrymandered to high hell. I try to avoid that area at all costs.

Quoting myself to correct that we actually aren't a gerrymandered state. I misspoke. It is a weird computer generated redistricting that can be vetoed by parties. It is just a big ass rural district.

Well a human wrote the algorithms, so I'd be curious to see who that was. Implicit bias is HEAVY in the programming world. For example, ever notice how AI bots/voices are almost always female? Because that's what male programmers like. Bots not boys!

I dropped my phone because I was so excited and lost the tweet between dropping and rescuing, but someone tweeted out a poll that shows Mark Kelly leading McSally 50-37. Biden was also leading over 45.
The Mark Kelly part was what had me so excited.

Wasn't sure which thread to put this in. Murkowski thinks every word Mattis said is true, and yet is still struggling with opposing 45's re-election:

You can also buy the from the usps site—they deliver them to your mailbox with regular mail. It took quarantine for me to learn this.

just got to figure out a way to have these republican voters against trump ads followed directly by a biden ad, even if it's just a quick few second add that says Biden 2020 that makes it look like it's part of that other add, like butt the two ads right up against each other. lol

The ads are good but the gesture feels hollow.
