I truly believe this year can be a blowout in favor of Dems

Repugnants may see the biggest drubbing an out of power party has seen in at least a generation.

There’s only one catch: we all have to vote, make sure our Dem friends and family vote, knock on doors and make phone calls! We can do this!!

Check in if you have voted

Update: please adjust your vote in this poll after you voted. After polls close, it would be great to see 100% on “I have voted.”

Texas vote 6 days till Election day

From target early

https://targetearly.targetsmart.com/g2022?state=TX&view_type=state

Texas early vote 6 days till Election Day in 2018, 2020 and 2022. The percentages definitely seem encouraging although turnout overall seems to be lower than previous years. If their modeling is correct, Republican turnout is down 7 points from 2018 where Beto came within 3 points of beating Ted Cruz.

Take this all with a grain of salt but, if nothing else, it shows that if we work hard enough -winning is within reach!!



Modeled Party

2018 2020 2022
D 39.4%. 38.2%. 39.8%
R 52.0%. 50.2. 45.4%
NP 8.6% 11.6. 14.9%

Thank you thread to everybody knocking on doors this cycle

Not everybody is able to do it, and it is a risk you are taking putting yourself out there in front of potential crazies (although most will probably be pleasant). But it is the utmost best way to ensure we get our base out in the largest numbers possible. I want to thank anybody who has been out there knocking vigilantly.

YOU ARE AMAZING AND A BIG REASON WE WILL WIN!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Can we say this yet? QAnon is not just a quack conspiracy organization

They have become a legit terrorist group. Trying to overthrow an election, attempted murder on the Speaker of the House? Shouldn’t this be the narrative?

Target early numbers in Iowa

Modeled Party 2018 2020 2022
Democrat 160,537 (48.1%) 371,256 (49.8%) 116,741 (59.3%)
Republican 144,681 (43.3%) 292,043 (39.2%) 72,707 (36.9%)
Unaffiliated 28,875 (8.6%) 82,436 (11.1%) 7,444 (3.8%)
Total 334,093 745,735 196,892


You’ll probably need to click the link to see really what it says more clearly, but basically Dems are exceeding their percentage of early votes in Iowa in both 2018 and 2020, even though turnout overall is lower. Take with a grain of salt, but if we work hard and knock those doors -we could see something come from it!
