we're probably screwed. They say that Republicans are keeping up with Democrats in the early voting. Not sure if that includes the absentee ballots.

There was never much hope for Florida, but fortunately, we can win nationally without Florida.

I have a very bad feeling about what the crazies are going to be doing to voters in long lines on Tuesday. ESPECIALLY IN VERY DEMOCRATIC-VOTING AREAS!

Why would anyone chance that danger is beyond me.

I find it more exciting and fun. It’s exciting to see the signs, the people, neighbors and the chance to get my vote counted immediately. I’ll stay voting on the day of the election until I can’t physically anymore.
