Both main sides just sent me literature through the mail.

I was pleasantly surprised in the 2020 Presidential primary to have some garden-apartment dwellers come by to vote in my precinct.

The trouble is, it's a half-mile walk from the nearest bus stop to the school to go vote, and then another half-mile to reach home downhill. Add rain...

Virginia did make efforts to make absentee voting and early voting more accessible, but if one doesn't have a computer or a car, I suspect many of them shrugged off this election, maybe thinking McAuliffe et.al. would win.

I know one Repug that sat out the 2020 general election, but decided to vote this time.

We NEED to improve our turnout.
