Every American should be proud of what is happening in this election: record voter participation will send a clear message about the future we the people want for our great nation.

From Colorado Sec of State: over 300,000 Coloradans have voted as of October 14th, 2020. This represents 24 times the number of cast ballots compared to October 14, 2016. CO SOS tweet: https://twitter.com/jenagriswold/sta...748646913?s=21

In other crucial swing states, the number of early voters who have already cast their ballots vastly eclipse 2016 figures: https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/15/polit...ion/index.html

Whatever political ideology you hold, you should be PROUD of the voter participation we are seeing this election year. Lets make this a year to remember and get it as close to 100% as we possibly can. Americans want to be heard this election.

Travis county in Texas is on track to have 97% of eligible voters cast a ballot - or anyway, that's how many are registered.

I have friends who waited over 2 hours to vote early yesterday, which was the first day of our early voting.

It's good news. Many people are worried due to the massive increase in mail in ballots, they won't be able to count enough in time to decide a winner right away.



If enough people vote early or drop their ballot off earlier to be counted, it will go a lot smoother.

Its pretty stunning to see how much voting has already occurred. And so early. People are motivated.

Many of us out there have been waiting for months to vote. The divisiveness created by this administration and the general incompetence and corruption on display, everyday, have driven us to vote with enthusiasm. We are the silent majority.

Yeah, vote early by mail and then vote again in person on election day. That's the motivation.

Can barely get the Census to be 100%,,.lol.


But yeah,..Politics is all the rage now. It's social tribalism overflowing from the social medias, pervading our lives and how we interact with others.

My voting don't open till Oct 26th, like 5 minute walk from me , so I will be hitting that up.

Gonna be fascinating to see the numbers this year.
