Country Ohio-a Democratic county- they changed a bunch of polling locations...four days before an election and the Ohio election website is currently down...or was the last time I checked. They may know things won't go as they hoped already...

Also, this year Nevada actually accepts ballots that are postmarked by Election Day and arrive within four days of the election. So hopefully there are more mail ballots coming soon.

How much do you think Fetterman wins by? I think it could be 6. There's been huge turnout for Democrats in PA.

Because that is EXACTLY what is happening. I live in N. Reno, my b/f lives south in Rural magaland Douglas County. And hoo boy did it let loose last night and it's supposed to continue through Wednesday night. Last nights show, crazy stupid wind, mixed with a down pour then came the snow and a power outage in N Reno. And we have 2 more days of it coming.

I'm one of those who overreacts to fear by fighting harder. I know others it suppresses but not me. I'm wired weird.

I believe the highly paid polling "experts" have totally underestimated the enormity and enthusiasm of the women's vote and the youth vote. But on Wednesday morning they will be believers! Go Nevada! Lead us to a blue wave!

In any very close races, that may be enough to get the needed amount of people off their asses and to the ballot box.

61. Ralston opinion piece 11/6:
Mon Nov 7, 2022, 04:43 PM
Nov 2022
U.S. Senate: Red wave or not, candidates and campaigns matter. Adam Laxalt is an abysmal candidate who has lived on his last name for credibility and fundraising since he moved here a decade ago. Anyone with an R after his or her name would be competitive this cycle, and his automaton-like performance, where he can disgorge puerile talking points to thrill the faithful and avoid any serious questioning (a candidate for governor and Senate who never debated!) has been something to behold. Laxalt’s campaign has been desultory and depressing. Cortez Masto is not exactly Rita Moreno on the campaign trail, but she has been disciplined and on message, and her media has been sharp and memorable. Laxalt may win the rurals 2-to-1 or better, but she will hold the Clark base and may even win Washoe. Prediction: Cortez Masto, 47 percent; Laxalt, 45 percent; others, 4 percent; none of the above, 4 percent.

If you read the beginning, he is a lot less sure than this excerpt sounds. Same if you read his blog. But... his predictions have been pretty good in the past.

Bottom line: no red wave. It's on a knife edge.
