I live in California, so maybe it's not a big deal, but It made me feel good.

I'm in a small northern county and I am a poll worker. I went to a training session today and the Registrar of Voters said the Democratic Party has registered quite a few poll watchers and she has heard nothing from the Republicans.

My Congressional race here is very blue, but the POTUS race is always a tossup. The Pubs have no ground game going at all, it seems.

Even if you live in a state where the outcome is known for that state, your vote still matters by contributing to the Popular Vote 'pot' at the end of the night.

It's important to win the Popular Vote as well as the Electoral Vote to have the strongest mandate possible. So your vote matters!
