538 has us at 85% chance of re-taking the House. Now we have to close the deal. GOTV GOTV GOTV.

And we also have a great chance of doing VERY well at the state and local level which is SO important.

And donate. ANYTHING you can do if even just for a smalll amount of time. Call, do signage, knock doors, write letters to the editor, drive a candidate around so he/she can knock doors easier, and text out the vote. Also, just use email, texting, social media, etc. to encourage people you know to vote for Dems.

I have been driving a state senate candidate around to knock doors, putting up signs, dropping literature, will be doing GOTV for our the state senate candidate in the last weekend before the election, have been urging people I know to sign up for GOTV, have signed up for texting out the vote, have made many small donations (even $5 or $10 helps), and have already voted in early voting.

We must vote Democratic up and down the ballot!!!!

Although we need Congress now, we need Democratic governors and state legislators to help with redistricting in 2020!!!!!

Republican control No bets are 63 cents on the dollar. I have $500 riding on us

I have a hard time saying no when expected value on there is higher than the wager price.
