2nd district Maine house seat is a tossup. The weasel Poliquin is spending a ton of money on radio and TV . 1st district will stay with Pingree.
 
I voted early in my county last weekend because I thought I would be out of state for work and didn't have time for an absentee ballot.

Super easy. Why do Republicans vehemently make voting difficult?

Because only Real 'Muricans can make time on a Tuesday!

It’s because of the obvious: the more people who vote, the lower the chances Republicans have of winning elections. They’ve said as much at different times when they didn’t mean for the email to get into the public, or during a hot mic moment. I think TFG even said as much prior to the 2018 election.

I voted last week, walked in to town hall, stated my name to the clerk who knows me, got my ballot, they have 2 booths setup, voted, sealed the envelop, signed my name on envelop, gave it back to clerk, left. 5 minutes maybe.
 
I voted on the first day of early voting. It was also my birthday. And I got a free Covid home test kit. Win win. Lines are shorter, etc. I love early voting. I do it all this time now.
 
Saw on MSNBC that there are approximately 3mil more early voters so far this year compared to 2018's tally of early votes.

I'm sure a lot of that is people like Scarlet and I who have fully embraced early voting, but I would have to think that at least some of those are new voters, who should skew heavily D.

I think everywhere except Flo(R)Ida is expected to break that way its just how much. In Blue states it's usually at least 60-40 D.

We will see how it plays out. I can say before the glut of polls that came out the last couple weeks that these numbers would be pretty encouraging.

Here locally the numbers are trending better than 2018 as well (or at least were) for early voting so again i just an not understanding the narratives.
 
Some interesting info out there...

CNN: “The youngest voters — those aged 18-21 years — are showing up in higher numbers in all six key states compared to this point during the 2018 general election.”
It’s happening, folks.

This is the line to #earlyvote at the Memorial Union on UW-Madison’s campus right now. You absolutely love to see it. On Wisconsin!

On what was supposed to be tough week for Ds:

- majority of generics have Ds tied/ahead
- Very strong Senate polling among non-partisan polls
- Strong early vote got more D as week went on
- Rasmussen has Ds gaining 2 pts
- Rs still defending IA, NC, OH!, still dumping BS polls

One thing I forgot to mention about voting this year was there was a surprising amount of third party candidates running from US Senator, Governor, and on down. But... they were all running under the Libertarian banner.

Are they the MAGA-lite people now? Or are they the old Conservatives who don't want anything to do with Trump?

Depends but mostly MAGA wannabes.

Good news for Minnesota, if 538 is to be trusted Walz, Omar and Phillips should have nothing to worry about. Craig is in a close one but that was too be expected. If this holds than I would bet Ellison and Simon win as well which means Minnesota is safe.

At this point, Libertarian = MAGA who smokes pot.
