Have you ever been more motivated to vote in a midterm than this year? [View all]

I am so motivated I intend to vote on the first day of early voting to ensure if something happens like I get into a car accident before election day I will have already voted. Last election was the record for me and this election has beaten it. I would bet my life savings I will be voting straight Dem this fall.
