I am going to go to sleep now and see where PA, MI and WI stand in the morning.

Check https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov to find a voting center near you.
Everyday hours: 9am - 5pm
Election Day hours: 7am - 8pm
Drop off mail ballots or vote in person. If you are not registered, you can register and vote on the same day.
The 13th, 22nd, 27th, 41st, and 45th congressional district races are close! If you live in one of these, your vote really counts.
As usual, we have loads of ballot propositions. I recommend https://peterates.com for information about state propositions. (Lots of good info there, even if you don’t agree with Pete’s takes.) Check local guides for city and county ballot measures.
If anyone has questions about voting in California, feel free to message me.
If any Oaklanders need to find my polling place (at Mills College; and yes we’re confusing to find), see below. Thanks to everyone who has already come in to vote!

"In Michigan, canvassers and paid door knockers for the former president, contracted by a firm associated with America PAC, have been subjected to poor working conditions: A number of them have been driven around in the back of a seatless U-Haul van, according to video obtained by WIRED, and threatened that their lodging at a local motel wouldn’t be paid for if they didn’t meet canvassing quotas. One door knocker alleges that they didn’t even know they were signing up for." #election2024
What I did note, however, was the absence of any young people. Not one person waiting on line appeared to be under 30+.
Maybe the young'uns were just sleeping late on a Saturday, but it was nice to see such a big turnout. People really want to make their vote count.
(An insta share. Joshua Doss has great stuff. I don't think he's here but if I'm wrong I'd like to know.)

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.

I mean really.
Killed it.
#JDVance actually tried to sell us that “#Trump saved #Obamacare” 🤣😂😆
Are you kidding me?????
Do you know how many times that jackass tried to overturn the #ACA?? I can’t even count the number!
#JDVance: “First of all”
translation: “I’m not going to answer the question”
“Michael Kosta goes live after the first & only vice presidential debate between #TimWalz & #JDVance. The stakes are as low as possible: one of these men will lose & we’ll never hear from them again, & one will win, become vice President, & we'll never hear from them again.”
