If Americans are discouraged to vote just because of a little rain then that is really depressing. We call ourselves the greatest democracy in the world yet we can't vote because of rain. People in Eastern Europe even turnout for their elections.
Nah, I think American turnout still is higher than Eastern European turnout. Even in Western Europe turnout for local elections is embarrassingly low (but turnout for general elections generally is higher than in the US as far as I know).
Anyway, I'm actually unironically rooting for Gillespie. He's a surprisingly good candidate and certainly preferable to people like Ward or Moore. We need more Gillespie's in the GOP (and it's not like he's a NeverTrumper so the alt-right can't complain
).
