Forget polls just vote at this point. Entirely possible 15-30%

Of all ballots will be cast by 10/23.

That is going to put a distortion on polling that may not have been accounted for (like ever).

True, we won't know the level of victory, but it's coming.


Just freaking vote!

First they asked who I'd vote for if the election was today (Pres, Senate, Gov, State Sen) then they asked if I had already voted.

I want to be. All the signs look good. But I'll have this gnawing anxiety until Biden is announced the winner and the Dems take the Senate. I suppose Democrats can use our anxiety to make sure we all vote and maybe that's we're seeing right now. People who are willing to wait hours in line to ensure their voices are heard. The importance of this election cannot be underestimated. Yes, just freaking vote!
