The absentee/early vote thread

[QE]

Mook says that "door knocks last weekend in PA were up 261% from same weekend in 2012; 108% in OH"

- can't link yet, but I saw it on Twitter.

So Hillary is personally headed to Detroit not a surrogate on Fri. for EV rally.

She's playing prevent defense. This state is being swarmed by Trump and his ilk all week. Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. are all making stops here. Trump himself was just here yesterday. I think they know PA is unlikely to flip, so they need a game-changer in MI, WI, CO or VA.

29,000 had voted by 6 PM. Same as Monday. And that was a bad day for Dems. Just sayin'

What is he trying to say? I have no idea why he needs to be so pithy about this.

By 6pm the same amt of people had voted - and that was a "bad" day for Dems yesterday. He mentioned that at the same point 4 years ago he expected today's numbers to be worse for Dems today but I guess they aren't.

So the bottom line is that Dems are outperforming expectation?

Yes

Ralston is the best for NV politics, but once you get wind of his intentional fear mongering for his own amusement, it gets old really fast.
