Most polls show it's tight (like most other years). The Harris team says they've had over 57,000 volunteer shifts knocking on (I believe) 800,000 doors.

Did you get a text from a senior person at the state level or some guy who just lives in Pennsylvania and is counting yard signs on his block? Or one of those fundraising texts like, "Polls would show us losing today if you don't contribute."

Having the context helps shape the kind of easing people can give.

Aside from mail in an very limited in person at county offices, unlike other states. That is why the number is low.

But still some good news is always nice to hear. Why so worked up? Just another poster looking for good news about a state that if we win it is likely over for the orange turd.

I’ve been getting several of those every day since August. It’s a standard bit of motivation through fear. I donate to both Harris and the DNC, but not to appeals like that. (Besides, in some cases, I’m wondering if they are even legitimate, since they don’t go through ActBlue, and are usually for generic-sounding funds/PACs like “Empower America” or something of the sort.)

400,000 vote advantage. Sounded like they were pretty confident.

I had to go to India to collect it. My good buddy at work was from Kerala, so I told him about my prize. He tells me, I probably won a free ride on an elephant.

My post makes more sense than this thread since that's kind of how I remember it.

…or a massive TSF meltdown that will affect voter perception of him even more negatively than before.

In the absence of either within the last twenty-four hours, anxiety tends to kick back in, and we all wind up getting dragged under by 2016 PTSD.

Including from Senate candidates claiming bad poll numbers all to motivate me to chip in.
