3. Weekend Surge

I know that this Comey idiocy has caused a lot of anxiety among the Dems I know, there is zero complacency now and no one in their right mind will vote 3rd party because they think their vote doesn't matter. Probably energizes the Republican base too though.

Does the Comey story move swing voters?

8. This election is now about one thing and one thing only...

Get Out the Vote!

13. "there is zero complacency now" ~~~~~~~~~ Great point!

I guess we can thank Comey for that.

23. I don't think it has anything to do with Comey.

This was the first weekend one could vote in OH.

7. excellent news. If they pass 2012 numbers that will make a lot of people more optimistic

about Ohio.

[PCIntern]

10. Hope they count the frigging votes in Cuyahoga

This time.

[napi21]

11. Are we sure most of them are votig for Hillary? I KNOW Cuyahoga Cty. is mostly Dem, but

reports have been made that a lot of those Dems who lost their jobs when cos. moved overseas are voting for the Con because he said he will bring those jobs back.

[LisaL]

25. Cuyahoga has large number of African American voters.

Who do you think they are voting for?

[napi21]

28. Sorry to question. I'm just scared of getting my hopes too high.

Listening to too much cable after the Friday bombshell and all I hear is BAD NEWS.

[C_U_L8R]

12. Take that, Republicans !!!

Enough of their dirty ways and constant obstruction.
Vote them the fuck out.

[ffr]

14. Want to know how you change Washington???

Pack the ballot box with democratic early votes. It works. It's called voting in such overwhelming numbers there's not mistaking the outcome. And it has the appeal of removing troubling Tea Party zealots.

See how it'll work in your local precinct. Vote!

16. We added two Democrat votes for Hillary today in Saint Augustine, FL. :-D

[ffr]

18. You can hold your chest out proud.

You win elections.

[Freddie]

27. My son voted yesterday

Straight D in Lantana, FL
We're in PA, no early voting. I will walk 10 miles in the snow to vote if I have to!

[ffr]

15. K&R BTW.

19. What is the make-up of those counties?? How did they vote in 2012? nt

[moose65]

20. From the election wiki:

Cuyahoga, home to Cleveland, is the most populous county in Ohio. Obama won it 69 - 30 in 2012. Franklin, home to Columbus, is the second-most populous county, and Obama won it 60 - 38.

22. Cuyahoga and Franklin are two large democratic counties in OH.

A democrat has to get huge numbers in Cuyahoga and Franklin in order to get elected in OH.
OH is a sea of red with few blue (but highly populous) counties throw in.

26. Thank you!! Nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

29. Oh, thank goodness!

The earlier reports of lower turnout in Cuyahoga County made me a little depressed.

Thanks for the pick-me-up!!
