10 takeaways from exit polls
Some surprising answers. Voters agree with Democrats on a lot of issue. A majority even think immigrants help the country. But you can see the basis of Trumps strategy - He won voters who thought immigration is the top issue by over 50 points.
Take away immigration somehow, and Trump loses his biggest issue.

Moveon has a plan for Session's firing, it's not break glass time yet.
They will demand the investigation be protected.

The Upshot: Small changes from polls can make a big difference
Two takeaways. 1) Small sample size and few polls means House polls can be off by an average of 8 points either way. 2) Dems in early voting are overrepresented compared to polling models, which suggests a systematic polling error on our favor.

Report on GOTV in VA-05 (Cockburn-D vs. Riggleman-R)
I was in a very red part of a red district. Every Democrat I spoke to was definitely voting, no convincing needed. I saw many Cockburn signs but only one for Riggleman. 538 rates it a tossup but if what I saw means anything, this is a Dem pickup. Charlottesville is in VA-05, so winning here would be very symbolic.
