Report from Berks County PA [View all]

Berks County is usually reliably red with the exception of the Reading City area proper and some blue suburban districts. I went to the Berks Democratic office to get my poll observer documents and it was mobbed! People coming and going - canvassers, people getting signs, people getting poll observer certificates, etc. Always at least 20-25 cars in the parking lot. Poll watchers coming in from all over - NY, Seattle (!) and DC! Buses across the street with people from other areas volunteering. Flags and banners and signs all over!
Out of curiosity, I drove to the Republican county office. Looked deserted- two cars, a few puny signs. No one left or entered while I sat there a few minutes to watch. Now, Trump purportedly has his own office in Reading which might have more activity. But that just goes to show that the Republican Party is just about Trump. The contrast between the two offices was dramatically different. I think it bodes well for our team! Go Kamala!
