Our record-breaking final #Georgia#EarlyVote turnout is 285,771 (so far), which is the bar chart on the very right of the chart in the attached image.

Core #Atlanta 🔵 metro counties over-performed and suburban/exurban underperformed, relative to previous days.

Total turnout is 3,995,938 / 55.2% turnout.

As of yesterday, the urban turnout (38.2%) has just about caught up with suburban (40.7%) and rural (41.7%) turnout, after some considerable deficits early in the early voting cycle.

And, the TargetSmart modeled party as of yesterday showed a delta between 🔵 Dems and 🔴 Republicans is down to 3.3 pct pt, LOWER than 2020's 5.5 pct pt difference.

I'd expect with today's EV turnout, those figures would continue to narrow to 🔵 's advantage.

There about 100k mail-in ballots left to return in GA, which will be rolling in from now until 11/5. Absentee voters can also vote in-person in lieu of returning their paper ballot.

A couple of less-reliable pollsters (image attached) also indicate that #Harris' momentum has shifted favorable in the past couple of days. Ultimately, A lot is counting on independent voters - whose preferences may determine the outcome of this race in Georgia.

The #Biden Administration once again writes rules that turn monopolies into competitive markets. This time: banks.

Switching costs are real. And now quantified for banking.

Reminder: monopolists and oligarchs pay lip service to “competition.” That’s why they are suing to stop this final reg.

🗺️ As promised, attached are maps of Early Voting from Days 1 through 3 by County, and last partisan ballot pulled - or no ballot.

The alt text contains a CSV excerpt of the data contained in the maps.

Some thoughts and findings:

📐 If we apply the count of early voters without previous partisan primary preferences ("No Party") and multiply that count by the proportion of Biden vs. Trump in 2020, we end up effectively even at 80k votes for Republicans and 79k votes for Democrats.

Using the 2020 vote totals is a bit crude, but it lets us identify general directionality as to the impact of these "No Party" voters.

📍 The maps clearly show turnout in traditionally GOP counties in the northern suburbs, supporting the hypothesis that GOP early vote advocacy efforts are motivating those voters to vote early instead of at Election Day.

🔵 Among all active voters, 7.9% and 7.5% with Dem preferences in Dekalb and Fulton Counties (Dem strongholds) have voted.

🔴 Among all active voters, 7.4% and 9.2% with GOP preferences in Cherokee and Forsyth Counties (GOP strongholds).

All this goes to say - at least in early vote, this race is ridiculously even.

👀 Over the next few days, I'll be on the lookout for a turnout breakout by Dems or the GOP to see if there are clearer signals on directionality.

🗳️ Again, expect to see a massive revived GOTV effort starting next week and not letting up until Nov 5th.

tl;dr--The student loan servicers are corrupt, ripping off former students, me included. Democrats are trying to fix it and provide some overall relief, quickly and untargeted, but Republicans and their allies on the bench are blocking the effort, and Millennials that know this are *pissed off*. 17/17

This is a huge reason to vote for Harris. We did this. We had home care for my dad and it cost us a fortune.

THIS… is “pro life”:

"A group of imams endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in an open letter shared first with NBC News on Sunday, a critical boost as she steps up her efforts to win back disaffected Muslim voters amid the Israel-Hamas war."

A new #CookPoliticalReport#SwingState Project Survey conducted by BSG & GS Strategy Group (Sept 19-25; 2,941 voters), shows VP #KamalaHarris leading or tied w/ #Trump in ALL but 1 of the 7 battleground states. Overall, she holds a lead of 49% to 48%.

#Harris has a lead w/in the margin of error in #Arizona +2, #Michigan +3, #Nevada +1, #Pennsylvania +1, & #Wisconsin +2. Trump is ahead 49% to 47% in %Georgia, & the candidates are tied at 49% in #NorthCarolina.

For the 1st time ever, a plurality of swing state voters now think that a #Democrat will win the presidential #election. This month, 46% of voters think #Harris will win, compared to 39% who think it will be #Trump. That is an 11-point swing in Harris’ favor since Aug, & suggests that Harris has been successful in presenting herself as a serious candidate.

Vice President Kamala #Harris pledged support for #Ukraine on Thursday and - in a veiled reference to Donald #Trump, her #US election rival - said those who would have Ukraine swap land for peace with #Russia were supporting "proposals of surrender."
